Whether or not an ethnostate is good depends on the ethnicity of the people of the ethnostate.

(/s, it is POV of a racist)

    this is rather dumb considering Israel is more ethnically diverse than any of it’s neighbors

    73.2% (about 7,208,000 people) are Jews, including about 503,000 living outside the self-defined borders of the State of Israel in the West Bank 21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) are Israeli citizens classified as Arab, some identifying as Palestinian, and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers “Arab”)[2] An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as “others”. This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christians other than Arabs and Armenians, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.[2][1]

      considering Israel is more ethnically diverse

      Apartheid South Africa was ethnically diverse… Still an ethno-state.

      Ethno-states aren’t defined as lacking diversity, they are defined by an ethnic creating and maintaining a dominant hierarchy of that diversity.

        not disagreeing but want to point out by that definition America is an ethnostate. Which again I’m not disagreeing with.

                  it started inthe 70’s and passed all the ratification hurdles in 2020; that’s how long people have been trying to push for it and proves how little things change within the american system.

                  in typical democrat fashion, biden made much ado about ratifying it, but without supporting it against the technical hangups so that it would die on its own and doing so paved the way for project 2025.

                    i doubt it would have made it past the republican owned Congress that Biden experienced during his tenure. has very little to do with lack of Democrat support. this just smells like anti-Democrat whataboutism to me.

      Ethnically diverse? Motherfucker, they’re all kinds of WHITE EUROPEANS. It occupies Palestine with that in mind, using religion to hide behind it and justify it.

      The other 30 percent were either kidnapped children from various operations (with the help of the West) that grew up to be dogs of the Euroanglo-zionazis and become Zionazis themselves or straight up opportunist compradors from all around the world. Oh and to top it off, they sterilize them no matter how much they try to be a good dog, because they’re not white enough.

      That’s not diversity, that’s a settler-colonial ethnostate playing population control, trying to get just enough brown to justify their occupation to the public, but not too much to maintain Pan-Europa whiteness.
