Summary
Arab academic whose discussion of Israel’s borders is given in Chapter 5 of Stateless Citizenship (2013): because the bodies that created Israel are Jewish national bodies representing Jews worldwide, “the borders of the state are almost meaningless” for membership in the collective national project (Zreik 2008, 140, as quoted, PDF p.189-190).
Details
- “according to the ethos of the state (and the Law of Return), every Jew can become a citizen at any point in time. All of this renders the difference between the actual and potential (Jewish) citizen marginal and blurs the concept of borders” (Zreik 2008, 140, as quoted, PDF p.190).
