Can Israel be both Jewish and truly democratic? How can a
nation-state, which incorporates a large national minority with a
distinct identity of its own be a state of all its citizens?
Written by two eminent Israeli scholars, a professor of
constitutional law and a historian, Alexander Yakobson and Amnon
Rubinstein are the first to treat Zionism and Israeli experience in
light of other states' experiences and in particular of newly
established states that have undergone constitutional changes and
wrestled with issues of minorities. Citing various European,
constitutions and laws, the authors explore concept of a Jewish
State and its various meanings in the light of international law,
and the current norms of Human Rights as applied to other
democratic societies compatible with liberal democratic norms and
conclude that international reality does not accord with the
concept which regards a modern, liberal democracy as a culturally
"neutral" and a nationally colourless entity.
In light of the new political map in Israel and the prospect of
future disengagement from the West Bank, Israel and the Family of
Nations is essential reading for all those who wish to understand
Israel's future challenges.
