Submission - Israel as a Jewish and democratic state - New Israel Fund Australia

Submission

Thank you for giving a submission to our consultations on Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. We will be in touch once the submissions have been received, and our report has been finalised in late March.

Your submission must be received by midday Tuesday March 4th, 2014.

Questions to consider:

  • What constitutes your vision, as Diaspora Jews, of a "Jewish and democratic state”?
  • What are the main characteristics that should define Israel as “Jewish”?
  • What are the main characteristics that should define Israel as “democratic”?
  • What rules should govern Israel’s balancing of its wish clearly to express its “Jewishness” and its desire to be a state that grants equal rights to all its citizens?
