Thank you for this essay, Ms. Oz.

On the topic of the Law of Return and its status as a normative and quite common law in many democratic states, you may want to read: Israel and the Family of Nations: The Jewish Nation-State and Human Rights by Alexander Yakobson and Amnon Rubinstein.

Thanks for the heads up. I will look for that.

You might be interested in one of the articles I wrote on the Nation State Law, the one I am most proud of: https://www.israeldiaries.com/ouch-the-nation-state-law-and-the-druze/

Your article is very interesting. As a Zionist who thought (an thinks) the Nation State Law was a self-defeating exercise that did useful things for Bibi in terms of catering to his political base but overall changed nothing, I find your perspective thought-provoking. Like so many problems in the Bibi-era, the harsh feelings generated by the Nation State Law have not been addressed. One more can Netanyahu kicked down the road hoping it will go away.

Very revealing article on leftist ideological settler-colonialism as applied to Israel.

Thank you.
