As an ardent Zionist, I believe that Israel is indeed an ethnostate, and I think that's wonderful. As long as its non-Jewish minorities aren't treated as second-class citizens, long live Israel as an ethnostate.

Zionism was born in a different era (just barely made the tail end but still) when the idea of white people displacing brown people was still cool. Israel didn’t change, the world did. I blame woke and college kids with purple hair and not any kind of 70 years violent occupation. If the Arabs wanted rights they shouldn’t have lost so many wars. Might makes right and losers shouldn’t ever resist occupation.
@@Bluefalconspiracies So you consider Israel to be a white colonialist-settler state. The majority of Israel's Jews are brown-skinned Mizrachi and Sephardic Jews, including my own Egyptian Jewish dad.

God bless Israel and all of the Jewish people! Please remember that there some of us still support you and will never abandon you. I'm shocked and ashamed of much of America and it's really opened my eyes to how bad it can get even in the US when hate and ignorance are treated as virtues
Good video and well-articulated points. That really is the premise of the conflict: People saying Jews aren't allowed the existence of Israel and shouldn't live anywhere. Jews are supposed to feel guilty for supporting Israel and defending Judaism.
A través de la historia, los argumentos para odiarnos cambian, pero lo que se mantiene constante es el odio hacia nosotros. Por eso, (1) tenemos que defendernos, más allá de las narrativas de quienes quieren destruirnos y (2) recordar que Hashem está con nosotros y es nuestra fuerza. Tenemos el mejor ejército del mundo, ejemplo de ética, moral, valentía y compromiso. Am Israel Jai 💙🤍💙
The world will always have something to say and invent about Israel, but it is the state of the Jews, the majority in the country. Although there are diverse groups, it is very important that it remains with a Jewish majority and Jewish governance, because this is the small, special, and unique state of the Jews, as it was and as it will remain
I'm antisemantics. I detest made-up words like ethnostate, and I detest them just because they exist. 🙂 Sorry - I know what you meant. Just having a bit of fun.
An ethno-state refers to ethnocratic state. An ethnocracy is a type of political structure in which the state apparatus is controlled by a dominant ethnic group to further its interests, power, dominance, and resources. Ethnocratic regimes in the modern era typically display a 'thin' democratic façade covering a more profound ethnic structure, in which ethnicity (race, religion, language etc) - and not citizenship - is the key to securing power and resources. Is rael's proponents consistently, point out others who are doing/have done the same as it's being accused of; it doesn't mean its not wrong, it shouldn't be judged the exact same, they aren't doing it or it justifies/excuses/entitles them to also do the same. So, i don't know why the bother to do so. Africa is a continent not a state; North n South Kor ea, Iceland, Finland, Japan etc, are not ethno-states!!! Immigration concerns nationality, not ethnicity. A nationality n an ethnicity are 2 completely different concepts. The state is Isr ael, not J. 1 in 5 citizens aren't J, but it calls itself a j state n state policy n practice is to further the interests, dominance, power, land etc of J, not Isra elis; its an ethno-state. Why not admit it is, rather than opposing it being called, an ethno-state; which by attempting to justify it being an ethno-state ur doing anyway??? The "J nation-state" is an oxymoron. Either, it's a state for it's citizens (nation-state) or it's a state for the Js (ethno-state); it can't be both. N im sorry, but no the Js (nor any other group for that matter) deserve a home imo. Give any other ethnicity that deserves, or has been given, a home n where it is/should be??? But if it's their home n the "J nation-state", needed for them to be safe, then all J should be there; n lose citizenship, property, assets etc in other nations, required to leave n/or apply through immigration to return/stay or be classed as illegally in the country. Otherwise, it is Js expecting to have their cake n eat it too.
@@aliciafletcher9739 Wow, this entire comment is just stupid. Israel is not an ethnostate, even by your provided definition. Literally any Israeli citizen, can attain any position of power, in any level of their government. You got the population wrong, as the majority are Jewish. And yes, they do deserve a home, since they have not only defended their borders, it was originally theirs in the first place. And by your logic, the Arabs don't have the right to complain about their homes being destroyed or occupied.
107 unique distinct nationalities have equal rights inside of Israel. It's the only place in the Middle East where that is true. And you can break those nationalities down into even more ethnic representation.
We have to recognise and appreciate the game that is being played here, that, Israel cannot even live up to the highest standards of Democracy and Freedom but let's look upto Qatar, where women are allowed to drive and wear Burkha' out of Choice.
For those of you coming to see if he makes a good argument, he doesn’t. Just skip this one their using the I have a black friend defense. He just proves that Israel is not only an ethnic state but also a theocracy. Just because 1/5 people in Israel are Muslim doesn’t mean theyre an any position of power or get treated equally
just want to ask your advice : as a palestinian living at East Jerusalem i can’t claim a property right located in the western ( jewish) part of Jerusalem which was belonging many years ago to my family , but a jew living wherever at Jerusalem can claim some rights about a property located in the east part of Jerusalem !! As you said that anyone can become a jew ,i will try to convert to judaism , so far maybe i will recover my rights about my family property located in the western part of Jerusalem What do you think about that ???
How about all Jewish property left behind in ethno Arab countries? and in ethno countries like Poland for instance (among others). People lose properties in wars...
@@sharonjb.y111 there is no war now because Israel annexed these territories , there is a situation of apartheid if a jew can claim a property right in the eastern part of Jerusalem and a palestinian can’t claim about a property in the western part of Jerusalem !!! 400000 palestinians ( 150000 in east Jerusalem and 250000 in the villages all around Jerusalem annexed by Israel are living without any social and human rights !! and with a limited freedom of movements !!! if this is not apartheid , i don’t know what is apartheid !!!
A state where only one etnic is living, not to 100% but close to it. Nippon has a lot of foreingers but at all, not so much. Schweiz/Suisse ist a classical non-ethnostate with 4 big etnics. Israel call a etnostate is stupid, but if you count arabs and jews at one semitic etnic, maybe it works-nut who wants count like that?
Is Israel not primarily a state for the Jews? Does Israel's immigration policy prioritize Jews? Yes, there are Arabs living in Israel but that doesn't negate that Israel was created for Jews. It isn’t an equivalent to a typical Western democracy. The only question though is if that is OK or not. But Israel is most definitely an ethnostate or some variation of an ethnostate.
NonJews can convert. Judaism is also a religion. Conversion is discouraged, so those who want to become Jews need to find a rabbi who agrees to take them thru the conversion process, which can take a few years. A convert needs persistence & endurance, unlike converting to some other religions.
Suggestions because these arguments aren’t working on their own: There’s one error. Israel has no official state religion. It’s a Jewish state ethnically only though of course Judaism will be the biggest religion in the country. The founders were careful about such things. UN Resolution 181 (1948) called for a Jewish (and an Arab) State. The other party in this conflict under Palestine Basic Law (2002-3) declares an Arab state ruled by Sharia. These two facts make condemnation of Israel for being an ethnostate, ludicrous. Finally, Israel was established out of need via 2000 years of history, to give Jews a place of refuge and establish a defensive power bloc. The need continued after 1948 as waves of refugees were taken in. It’s particularly evident today with western countries looking uncertain for Jews.
You're the one saying this, not they. God-forbid they all had to have the same gene-pool: they'd be as demented as those others who are determined to exterminate them.
There's only one country that I can think of that is not an ethnostate, and I'm there now (the USA, in case you need help). Israel is an ethnostate and should be proud of it. Even converts are Jews once they complete their conversion, so, yes, Israel is an ethnostate. So are the vast majority of the other states in this world. People who say they don't want to support any ethnostates are speaking the truth: they don't want to support the vast majority of states in the world. What they want is a global government that tolerates differences until they can be wiped out, modeled after the Chinese Communist Party and how they treat their own ethnic minorities. They are globalists, which, by definition, makes them completely intolerant of differences. Why, though, start with Israel (besides the anti-Semitic thing)? Because it's small so they perceive it as weak. Why not start with every single Muslim state? Because they don't care what these globalists think. The State of Israel (meaning the governing apparatus) does care, and that is the weak point that is being exploited.
@maltija1 I lived in Japan for a year, which doesn't make it not an ethnostate (I'm not Japanese, to be clear). Plenty of non-Arabs live in Saudi Arabia, but it's still an ethnostate. A very large number of people that are not of Swedish heritage live in Sweden, but it is still (for now, barely, still) an ethnostate. Being an ethnostate (a made-up word, anyway, but we know what it means) is no bad thing. In fact, it's completely normal. It's the rule, not the exception. Further, when a new word pops up to denigrate some aspect of human experience, you can almost set your watch by the possibility that this new word describes something normal and accepted, but that the globalists want to denormalize and vilify, like all the relatively new fit-word-here-phobias. Homophobe, transphobe, Islamophobe, toxic masculinity, TERF, and on and on and on ad infinitum. Why? Because they want to completely re-engineer human civilization. They want NO states, except the global utopia they envision. What they and we will get (and the smart globalists know this and want it anyway, because they believe they will be at the top of this stinking dung heap of a pyramid) is global dystopia, if they succeed. Israel is the Jewish State, and that's a GOOD THING.
@@gcolwill Difficult to discus it in a foreign language (I am german) but Sverige first of all, have a lot of NON-Root-Svensk people and of course the Sami, so Norge, Soumi (they have a big svensl minority too) are innmy understanding NO etnostates, my homeland Germanny has danish and sorbian people, so we also are no etnostate. And the Millions of germans with foreingeroots makes the rest. UK, France, Nederlande have so many people from theire old colonies, they of course are no etnestates. Eire maybe is one Island is definetly one.
@IronIck45 Now you're being obtuse. If you go back far enough, we are all from Africa, so if you want to play that game, we are all the same and there is no ethnicity, but it's a silly, childish game that I have no taste for. I do find it a bit ironic that a German would take this point of view, given how important Aryan identity (whatever that is) was, not so long ago in that region of Europe. I think that extremes in either direction, generally, are to be avoided. Nobody needs a country that is completely of one flavor, and none of those exist or ever have. However, it's normal for a majority of the citizens of a country to share a common language and a common set of values, and to identify as a unique people based on these facets of human society, because, over time, and regardless of where their ancestors came from, they developed that language and set of values that bind themselves together. It's normal for outsiders to come to live with that majority and, eventually, to integrate with it. It's NOT normal for a group of people with a common identity and common language and common values, to suddenly become ashamed of that reality and then deny it and do their best to obliterate it and themselves as a people. Yet it's happening all over the West. What compels this strange behavior? Yes, @Ironick45, I mean EXACTLY those states you have named. Why do I have to explain this? The word "ethnostate" belongs to that set of words that have been recently and specifically and artificially designed to inject confusion and disarray into ideas which were previously clear to most people not long ago, and this set of words has been very effective. These ideas that are now under attack were so clear that the majority understood them without the need for explanation or articulation, yet now we find ourselves so confused that we are unable to articulate previously simple, bedrock ideas ("What is a woman?" Indeed, Mat Walsh. Indeed.). That is the purpose of this artificial set of words. There comes a time, though, when that majority of people which are not globalists should start waking up (getting woke?) to the deadly game being played with their sense of reality. How do you combat the use of these made-up and purposefully nebulous words? By co-opting them or rejecting them, or both at the same time. It's bad to be an ethnostate, yet your country is being called one just for being what it is? You can react by trying to destroy yourself to avoid that recently-created and purposefully-denigrative label, or you can embrace it and turn that word into a positive. Or you can reject it. Or both. I can think of no more diverse a people than the Jewish People. The number or languages spoken by this people includes most of the languages of the current world, and some that are all but extinct if not for the Jews. Physical features? Every shade of skin, eye, hair color. Physiognomy? About as various as can be. What binds the Jewish people together? A common set of values (Torah - yes even the "secular" Jews hold by these values, whether they deny it or not) and a common language (Hebrew, amongst a vast array of other languages), and a common experience. From 12 tribes and an uncountable number of "outsiders", we became one people, especially as seen by the rest of the world. There is only one state in this new world, with this newfangled "state" idea and with these ultra-new-fangled artificial ideas like ethnostate, that is the Jewish State. If that makes Israel an ethnostate, so be it. By the way, literally NONE of "those with foreign roots" that have come to Israel are from countries colonized by Israel. You can do what you wish with that stupid word ethnostate. But if you want to denigrate Israel or any other state with it, then these states should learn from children: "I'm rubber, you're glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you". I know you are, but what am I?
@@gcolwill Thanx for your long response, I hope i get everything correct-I see, my english for such political things is not god enough. The etnostate thing is not important for me, but I am open to learn new (for ME new) political words/subjects. I think, we are both critic of the "woke" left in Germany called redgreen socialistic idiologie, and support Israel, thats important for me, the rest is more like, philosophie.
Absurd to deny it's an ethnostate. While it's not impossible, there are innumerable impediments to any one but Jews enjoying full rights as citizens. And impediments to anyone but Jews becoming citizens. There are legal hurdles that have to be cleared for anyone not Jewish to lease land from the private JNF, which owns 13 percent of the land in Israel. Possible, but not easy. And the JNF gets paid in cash by the state for any land it is forced to sell against its will to an Arab. There are impediments to any non-Jewish residents of Jerusalem building homes or expanding existing ones or marrying Arab Israeli citizens. If you are a Jew from Texas, you can move to Jerusalem tomorrow and become a citizen. If you are a Palestinian without a Jerusalem ID, it doesn't matter if your family has lived in Jerusalem for 800 years and has a home there. You have no right to return. Meanwhile, if you are Jewish, your path to all these rights and privileges are expedited. The Palestinians living in the territories under the complete de facto control of Israel have no rights at all as citizens although Israel effectively rules over them as their sovereign, dictating every aspect of their lives regarding movement, land ownership, building, employment, use of resources, etc. And they collect and control the distribution of taxes to the PA. Talk about taxation without representation. And they have no sovereign control over land, which is subject to Jewish settlement, and disputes over which are handled by, you guessed it, Israeli courts!! The American revolution started because the British wanted to adjudicate disputes in British courts! And nothing marks membership in a nation more than service in the army, yet no Arab citizens of Israel are eligible for the draft. For goodness sake, the Israel Basic law declares that Israel is the "national home of the Jewish people." Imagine if the US constitution said, "We the Anglo-Saxon, Christian people of the United States."
Arab Muslim Israelis can volunteer for the IDF, & this happens more & more often as time goes on. There are privileges Muslim Israelis get that Jewish Israelis don't get; like exemption from military duty, & more financial & tutorial support to go to college. That's why such a high percentage of Israeli doctors, dentists, & nurses are Israeli Muslims. They get more support to enter school, & complete it. Ironically there is one Sharia court in the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem. In my imagination Muslim Israeli men go there for a divorce, because sharia law favors men's rights over those of women, but I suspect Muslim women who want a divorce go to secular Israeli lawyers, because women would have more rights in that court system.
I don't know where you get this information from, but it contradicts everything I've heard and read, even from Israeli Arabs. I think you've been hoodwinked.
thesari ; anyone can become a muslim ! , that is because islam is a facist doctrine , comparable to communism , they both want to conquer the world , and submit the people to their ideology ...............
You compare saying the Shahada three times, or soaking yourself in a bath, under the intimidation of the masses? If it gives you unfair opportunities, then go for it! Jews don't chase you, you will have long process of meeting with a Rabbi, He will want to have the impression of better reasons than 'I think it will give me benefits' You will lose all other identities you carry, You will be hated, but your offsprings could leave only by mix-marrying gentiles if you are a male, Even then Germany would consider them Jewish. The different character of "covertion" is responsible for the fact that Judaism is in the size of ethnicity, Most people born that way for ages, And Islam and Christianity are giants, and are in addition of having ethnicity, namely, one remained ethno-religion, the other two never been.
@@maltija1 most of the people who live and rule the country came from the outside, that's not been disputeed by anyone. The Balfour declaration is proof of this.
There are some places in Muslim countries where non-Muslims are not even allowed to enter. Also, Muslims resent non-Muslims entering so-called third holiest site for Muslims in Jerusalem.
a sovereign state of which citizenship is restricted to members of a particular racial or ethnic group. "they actively promoted the concept of a white ethnostate. Israel is not an ethnostate.
Again, counterfactual. "You don't see anyone trying to abolish Islamic States." This being a clear Israeli mandate. You may wish to disregard from publication assertions that lack merit.

Armenia is a parallel, it also has a right of return and is an ethnostate
In my opinion, Kurdistan, like Israel, has the right to be re-established.
There are a ton of so-called ethnostates by this definition. Germany for starters
@@jogiff Germany is not an ethnostate. Germany is tribal territory.
And Armenians are oppressed by the peaceful religious. So I don't blame it for being an "ethnostate".

Good video and well-articulated points. That really is the premise of the conflict: People saying Jews aren't allowed the existence of Israel and shouldn't live anywhere. Jews are supposed to feel guilty for supporting Israel and defending Judaism.

A través de la historia, los argumentos para odiarnos cambian, pero lo que se mantiene constante es el odio hacia nosotros. Por eso, (1) tenemos que defendernos, más allá de las narrativas de quienes quieren destruirnos y (2) recordar que Hashem está con nosotros y es nuestra fuerza. Tenemos el mejor ejército del mundo, ejemplo de ética, moral, valentía y compromiso. Am Israel Jai 💙🤍💙
The other point is anyone can become a citizen through the naturalisation process.
Good clip. Adding Turkmenistan to the ever expanding list of "inoffensive ethnostates." Research conditions there if you dare.
The world will always have something to say and invent about Israel, but it is the state of the Jews, the majority in the country. Although there are diverse groups, it is very important that it remains with a Jewish majority and Jewish governance, because this is the small, special, and unique state of the Jews, as it was and as it will remain

An ethno-state refers to ethnocratic state. An ethnocracy is a type of political structure in which the state apparatus is controlled by a dominant ethnic group to further its interests, power, dominance, and resources. Ethnocratic regimes in the modern era typically display a 'thin' democratic façade covering a more profound ethnic structure, in which ethnicity (race, religion, language etc) - and not citizenship - is the key to securing power and resources.
Is rael's proponents consistently, point out others who are doing/have done the same as it's being accused of; it doesn't mean its not wrong, it shouldn't be judged the exact same, they aren't doing it or it justifies/excuses/entitles them to also do the same. So, i don't know why the bother to do so.
Africa is a continent not a state; North n South Kor ea, Iceland, Finland, Japan etc, are not ethno-states!!! Immigration concerns nationality, not ethnicity. A nationality n an ethnicity are 2 completely different concepts.
The state is Isr ael, not J. 1 in 5 citizens aren't J, but it calls itself a j state n state policy n practice is to further the interests, dominance, power, land etc of J, not Isra elis; its an ethno-state. Why not admit it is, rather than opposing it being called, an ethno-state; which by attempting to justify it being an ethno-state ur doing anyway??? The "J nation-state" is an oxymoron. Either, it's a state for it's citizens (nation-state) or it's a state for the Js (ethno-state); it can't be both.
N im sorry, but no the Js (nor any other group for that matter) deserve a home imo. Give any other ethnicity that deserves, or has been given, a home n where it is/should be??? But if it's their home n the "J nation-state", needed for them to be safe, then all J should be there; n lose citizenship, property, assets etc in other nations, required to leave n/or apply through immigration to return/stay or be classed as illegally in the country. Otherwise, it is Js expecting to have their cake n eat it too.

Wow, this entire comment is just stupid.
Israel is not an ethnostate, even by your provided definition.
Literally any Israeli citizen, can attain any position of power, in any level of their government.
You got the population wrong, as the majority are Jewish.
And yes, they do deserve a home, since they have not only defended their borders, it was originally theirs in the first place.
And by your logic, the Arabs don't have the right to complain about their homes being destroyed or occupied.
107 unique distinct nationalities have equal rights inside of Israel. It's the only place in the Middle East where that is true. And you can break those nationalities down into even more ethnic representation.
We have to recognise and appreciate the game that is being played here, that, Israel cannot even live up to the highest standards of Democracy and Freedom but let's look upto Qatar, where women are allowed to drive and wear Burkha' out of Choice.
Wait, is that Columbia University Ms. King- Slutzky
For those of you coming to see if he makes a good argument, he doesn’t. Just skip this one their using the I have a black friend defense. He just proves that Israel is not only an ethnic state but also a theocracy. Just because 1/5 people in Israel are Muslim doesn’t mean theyre an any position of power or get treated equally
just want to ask your advice :
as a palestinian living at East Jerusalem i can’t claim a property right located in the western ( jewish) part of Jerusalem which was belonging many years ago to my family , but a jew living wherever at Jerusalem can claim some rights about a property located in the east part of Jerusalem !!
As you said that anyone can become a jew ,i will try to convert to judaism , so far maybe i will recover my rights about my family property located in the western part of Jerusalem
What do you think about that ???
How about all Jewish property left behind in ethno Arab countries? and in ethno countries like Poland for instance (among others). People lose properties in wars...
@@sharonjb.y111 there is no war now because Israel annexed these territories , there is a situation of apartheid if a jew can claim a property right in the eastern part of Jerusalem and a palestinian can’t claim about a property in the western part of Jerusalem !!!
400000 palestinians ( 150000 in east Jerusalem and 250000 in the villages all around Jerusalem annexed by Israel are living without any social and human rights !! and with a limited freedom of movements !!!
if this is not apartheid , i don’t know what is apartheid !!!
What is an "ethnostate"?
A state where only one etnic is living, not to 100% but close to it.
Nippon has a lot of foreingers but at all, not so much.
Schweiz/Suisse ist a classical non-ethnostate with 4 big etnics.
Israel call a etnostate is stupid, but if you count arabs and jews at one semitic etnic, maybe it works-nut who wants count like that?
Hmmm - Scandinavia is an ethnostate?! Weird take
Is Israel not primarily a state for the Jews? Does Israel's immigration policy prioritize Jews? Yes, there are Arabs living in Israel but that doesn't negate that Israel was created for Jews. It isn’t an equivalent to a typical Western democracy. The only question though is if that is OK or not. But Israel is most definitely an ethnostate or some variation of an ethnostate.
All states are ethno-states. US is an ethno-state, egypt is an ethno-state, etc..
I thought Jewish people were a lineage of Abraham . Didn’t realise just anyone could become a ‘Jew’ …….,??
NonJews can convert. Judaism is also a religion. Conversion is discouraged, so those who want to become Jews need to find a rabbi who agrees to take them thru the conversion process, which can take a few years. A convert needs persistence & endurance, unlike converting to some other religions.
I see no issue at all with the concept of an ethnostate. Homogeny is a strength. The entire Western world is disintegrating due to migration.
Suggestions because these arguments aren’t working on their own:
There’s one error. Israel has no official state religion. It’s a Jewish state ethnically only though of course Judaism will be the biggest religion in the country. The founders were careful about such things.
UN Resolution 181 (1948) called for a Jewish (and an Arab) State.
The other party in this conflict under Palestine Basic Law (2002-3) declares an Arab state ruled by Sharia.
These two facts make condemnation of Israel for being an ethnostate, ludicrous.
Finally, Israel was established out of need via 2000 years of history, to give Jews a place of refuge and establish a defensive power bloc. The need continued after 1948 as waves of refugees were taken in. It’s particularly evident today with western countries looking uncertain for Jews.
It's much better to have a Palestinian Arab ethnostate, right?

Israel should occupy the West Bank and Gaza. Those territories belong to Israel. Period.
In the contrary they have to go back to their country.
Anyone can become a J, but they descend from the same biological gene pool???? 😂😂😂😂
You're the one saying this, not they. God-forbid they all had to have the same gene-pool: they'd be as demented as those others who are determined to exterminate them.

There is a difference between religion, and ethnicity.
Are you being purposely dumb?
There's only one country that I can think of that is not an ethnostate, and I'm there now (the USA, in case you need help). Israel is an ethnostate and should be proud of it. Even converts are Jews once they complete their conversion, so, yes, Israel is an ethnostate. So are the vast majority of the other states in this world.
People who say they don't want to support any ethnostates are speaking the truth: they don't want to support the vast majority of states in the world. What they want is a global government that tolerates differences until they can be wiped out, modeled after the Chinese Communist Party and how they treat their own ethnic minorities. They are globalists, which, by definition, makes them completely intolerant of differences. Why, though, start with Israel (besides the anti-Semitic thing)? Because it's small so they perceive it as weak. Why not start with every single Muslim state? Because they don't care what these globalists think. The State of Israel (meaning the governing apparatus) does care, and that is the weak point that is being exploited.
But it isn't. There are Arabs and people of other ethnicities who live in Israel.
@maltija1 I lived in Japan for a year, which doesn't make it not an ethnostate (I'm not Japanese, to be clear). Plenty of non-Arabs live in Saudi Arabia, but it's still an ethnostate. A very large number of people that are not of Swedish heritage live in Sweden, but it is still (for now, barely, still) an ethnostate. Being an ethnostate (a made-up word, anyway, but we know what it means) is no bad thing. In fact, it's completely normal. It's the rule, not the exception.
Further, when a new word pops up to denigrate some aspect of human experience, you can almost set your watch by the possibility that this new word describes something normal and accepted, but that the globalists want to denormalize and vilify, like all the relatively new fit-word-here-phobias. Homophobe, transphobe, Islamophobe, toxic masculinity, TERF, and on and on and on ad infinitum. Why? Because they want to completely re-engineer human civilization. They want NO states, except the global utopia they envision. What they and we will get (and the smart globalists know this and want it anyway, because they believe they will be at the top of this stinking dung heap of a pyramid) is global dystopia, if they succeed.
Israel is the Jewish State, and that's a GOOD THING.
@@gcolwill Difficult to discus it in a foreign language (I am german) but Sverige first of all, have a lot of NON-Root-Svensk people and of course the Sami, so Norge, Soumi (they have a big svensl minority too) are innmy understanding NO etnostates, my homeland Germanny has danish and sorbian people, so we also are no etnostate. And the Millions of germans with foreingeroots makes the rest.
UK, France, Nederlande have so many people from theire old colonies, they of course are no etnestates.
Eire maybe is one Island is definetly one.
@IronIck45 Now you're being obtuse. If you go back far enough, we are all from Africa, so if you want to play that game, we are all the same and there is no ethnicity, but it's a silly, childish game that I have no taste for. I do find it a bit ironic that a German would take this point of view, given how important Aryan identity (whatever that is) was, not so long ago in that region of Europe.
I think that extremes in either direction, generally, are to be avoided. Nobody needs a country that is completely of one flavor, and none of those exist or ever have. However, it's normal for a majority of the citizens of a country to share a common language and a common set of values, and to identify as a unique people based on these facets of human society, because, over time, and regardless of where their ancestors came from, they developed that language and set of values that bind themselves together. It's normal for outsiders to come to live with that majority and, eventually, to integrate with it. It's NOT normal for a group of people with a common identity and common language and common values, to suddenly become ashamed of that reality and then deny it and do their best to obliterate it and themselves as a people. Yet it's happening all over the West. What compels this strange behavior? Yes, @Ironick45, I mean EXACTLY those states you have named.
Why do I have to explain this?
The word "ethnostate" belongs to that set of words that have been recently and specifically and artificially designed to inject confusion and disarray into ideas which were previously clear to most people not long ago, and this set of words has been very effective. These ideas that are now under attack were so clear that the majority understood them without the need for explanation or articulation, yet now we find ourselves so confused that we are unable to articulate previously simple, bedrock ideas ("What is a woman?" Indeed, Mat Walsh. Indeed.). That is the purpose of this artificial set of words. There comes a time, though, when that majority of people which are not globalists should start waking up (getting woke?) to the deadly game being played with their sense of reality.
How do you combat the use of these made-up and purposefully nebulous words? By co-opting them or rejecting them, or both at the same time. It's bad to be an ethnostate, yet your country is being called one just for being what it is? You can react by trying to destroy yourself to avoid that recently-created and purposefully-denigrative label, or you can embrace it and turn that word into a positive. Or you can reject it. Or both.
I can think of no more diverse a people than the Jewish People. The number or languages spoken by this people includes most of the languages of the current world, and some that are all but extinct if not for the Jews. Physical features? Every shade of skin, eye, hair color. Physiognomy? About as various as can be. What binds the Jewish people together? A common set of values (Torah - yes even the "secular" Jews hold by these values, whether they deny it or not) and a common language (Hebrew, amongst a vast array of other languages), and a common experience. From 12 tribes and an uncountable number of "outsiders", we became one people, especially as seen by the rest of the world. There is only one state in this new world, with this newfangled "state" idea and with these ultra-new-fangled artificial ideas like ethnostate, that is the Jewish State. If that makes Israel an ethnostate, so be it. By the way, literally NONE of "those with foreign roots" that have come to Israel are from countries colonized by Israel.
You can do what you wish with that stupid word ethnostate. But if you want to denigrate Israel or any other state with it, then these states should learn from children: "I'm rubber, you're glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you".
I know you are, but what am I?
@@gcolwill Thanx for your long response, I hope i get everything correct-I see, my english for such political things is not god enough.
The etnostate thing is not important for me, but I am open to learn new (for ME new) political words/subjects.
I think, we are both critic of the "woke" left in Germany called redgreen socialistic idiologie, and support Israel, thats important for me, the rest is more like, philosophie.
Absurd to deny it's an ethnostate. While it's not impossible, there are innumerable impediments to any one but Jews enjoying full rights as citizens. And impediments to anyone but Jews becoming citizens. There are legal hurdles that have to be cleared for anyone not Jewish to lease land from the private JNF, which owns 13 percent of the land in Israel. Possible, but not easy. And the JNF gets paid in cash by the state for any land it is forced to sell against its will to an Arab. There are impediments to any non-Jewish residents of Jerusalem building homes or expanding existing ones or marrying Arab Israeli citizens. If you are a Jew from Texas, you can move to Jerusalem tomorrow and become a citizen. If you are a Palestinian without a Jerusalem ID, it doesn't matter if your family has lived in Jerusalem for 800 years and has a home there. You have no right to return. Meanwhile, if you are Jewish, your path to all these rights and privileges are expedited. The Palestinians living in the territories under the complete de facto control of Israel have no rights at all as citizens although Israel effectively rules over them as their sovereign, dictating every aspect of their lives regarding movement, land ownership, building, employment, use of resources, etc. And they collect and control the distribution of taxes to the PA. Talk about taxation without representation. And they have no sovereign control over land, which is subject to Jewish settlement, and disputes over which are handled by, you guessed it, Israeli courts!! The American revolution started because the British wanted to adjudicate disputes in British courts! And nothing marks membership in a nation more than service in the army, yet no Arab citizens of Israel are eligible for the draft. For goodness sake, the Israel Basic law declares that Israel is the "national home of the Jewish people." Imagine if the US constitution said, "We the Anglo-Saxon, Christian people of the United States."
Arab Muslim Israelis can volunteer for the IDF, & this happens more & more often as time goes on.
There are privileges Muslim Israelis get that Jewish Israelis don't get; like exemption from military duty, & more financial & tutorial support to go to college. That's why such a high percentage of Israeli doctors, dentists, & nurses are Israeli Muslims. They get more support to enter school, & complete it.
Ironically there is one Sharia court in the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem. In my imagination Muslim Israeli men go there for a divorce, because sharia law favors men's rights over those of women, but I suspect Muslim women who want a divorce go to secular Israeli lawyers, because women would have more rights in that court system.
I don't know where you get this information from, but it contradicts everything I've heard and read, even from Israeli Arabs. I think you've been hoodwinked.
Not an ethnostate but an occupying colonials state

The different character of "covertion" is responsible for the fact that Judaism is in the size of ethnicity,
Most people born that way for ages,
And Islam and Christianity are giants, and are in addition of having ethnicity,
namely, one remained ethno-religion, the other two never been.
