Is Israel an all Jewish country?

Answer 1

Plenty of non-Jews live there too, so the answer is No. 25% of the country is non-Jewish, which includes Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouins and others. All Israeli citizens have equal rights under the law regardless if you are a Jew or non-Jew. However, only Jews are required to serve in the military.

Additionally, Israel is probably the least homogenous nation-state in the world. Some other nation states include: Israel - 75% Jewish, Germany 81% German, Vietnam - 87% Kinh, Egypt - 94% Egyptian, Cambodia - 96% Khmer, Armenia - 97% Armenian, Greece - 98% Greek, Korea - 99% Korean, etc.

================================

Couple of comments:

First ... it's a lot more than just who LIVES there. The more important fact is that there is no religious (or gender) test for CITIZENSHIP in Israel, which includes the vote and, as noted above, equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunity under the law. I can't resist inviting you to look at a map and find the nearest country outside of Israel where the same is true.

Also ... I believe ALL Israeli citizens except ethnic Palestinian Arabs have a uniform military obligation. Druze and Circassians, who are non-Jewish Israelis have mandatory conscription in the Israeli Army (by the choice of their elders) and the Bedouins volunteer for the Israeli Army in quite large numbers.

My personal understanding of the exemption for Arab citizens is as a tacit logical expectation of the most likely source of military threats, and the most likely identity of who the Israeli soldier will have to face in hand-to-hand combat. But that's just my opinion.

Answer 2

Mostly. There are non-Jews in the government, but most ministers are Jews.

Answer 3

It suppose to be, but for now, there are 'only' 82% jewish people from the whole population. The Israeli arabics are the rest.
