last i checked there was no country on the planet called "Jew". That applies to all religions and countries. It could be argued the Vatican City is completely Catholic and im sure one or two others can fall into this bracket if one wishes to be pedantic. over 50% in israel is non-jewish btw.


can you name another nation on earth that was founded explicitly as a religious ethnostate? there are some in the middle east im sure as islamic ethnostates. but whether israel was promised to the jews 4000 years ago by god doesnt really matter, that's flavor text. it was carved out, conquered, and defended as a jewish ethnostate. and still is.

I mean a few were explicit ethnostates and there's certainly plenty of attempts to create khalistan for sikhs and kurdistan for kurds and it certainly played a gigantic role in the formal identity and founding of pretty much every european nation east and west
You've got stuff like the Malaysian constitution giving special elevated status to malays on purely ethno-religious grounds, Turkey kind of ping pongs between its ottoman religious empire and ataturk securalism but if you'd just it by where erdogan stands, heh.

all true, my point was there's 1 jewish nation. the country might not be called "Jew", but the country is by it's founding and operation since then Jewish.

this really begs the question of how long a nation of people need to exist to become an ethnicity. is it 50 years? 100? 1,000?

obviously Ireland has existed long enough for people to be considered Irish, but jews in the direct context of Israel are an ethnicity by now imo. especially middle eastern jews who emigrated there.
