Israeli Nationality Law

Israel's nationality law defines the terms through which one can be granted citizenship of the state of Israel. It also includes the Right of Return for Jewish diaspora. Israeli law also follows jus sanguinis as the primary mechanism through which one may obtain citizenships, rather than jus soli.

    “...I want to see a film, they send the Israeli army reserves to escort me! What kind of life is this?”
    —Golda Meir (1898–1978)

    “If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.”

    “If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order.”
    —Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
