What country was the first to recognize Israel as a Jewish state?
The Soviet Union was the first country to recognize Israel on May 17, 1948, less than a week after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. When the Israeli leadership pushes for Arab countries to recognize Israel as a Jewish State, what they actually mean is that want the Arab countries not just to recognize the Israeli government, but the right for Israel to be primarily Jewish State. A number of Arabs outside of government make a sort-of-work-around for accepting Israel in that they accept Israel as a country controlling a certain piece of planet, but believe all of the Palestinians who used to live there and all of their descendants should be allowed to return. If this happened Israel would become an Arab majority country and defeat the entire purpose of Zionism (the belief that there should be a Jewish State) and Israel's existence. As a result, Israeli leadership presses the Arabs to recognize Israel as it is, not Israel as they would like it. In the case of the USSR, which recognized Israel first, the USSR was quite willing to recognize Israel according to the tenets of Zionism, so although the term "recognize Israel as a Jewish State" was not used, the intent was the one desired by those who use those magic words.

What does the Jewish flag mean?
There is no such thing as a Jewish flag. The State of Israel has Israeli national symbols such as a flag that draw from Jewish inspirations. It is very similar to how there is no such thing as a Lutheran flag, but the cross on the Swedish flag is representative of how Lutheranism is the dominant religion in that country. The Star on the Israeli flag is a strong symbol of Judaism. In Judaism, the Star represents the unity of the Jewish people.

What does anti-Jewish views mean?
It means exactly what it sounds like: perspectives that are opposed to Jews and Judaism.

What is the religon of Israel?
Jewish ============================== Another contributor clarified: In contrast to a number of its neighbors, the present-day nation of Israel doesn't recognize an official state religion, although it was founded primarily as the place where Jews were at last free to live as Jews, and remains so today. The open practice and expression of other religions is common in Israel, and is protected, not only by law, but often by state security forces when such practice is threatened. If the question is asking about the religion of the people of Israel in history, the answer is that the phrase "Children of Israel" has always been synonymous with, and understood to mean, the people whose national character, attitudes, and aspirations are shaped by Judaism. In other words, they are the Jewish people.
