Italy, Japan, etc define their nationality through ethnicity (ius sangui). Greece defines nationality in a very convoluted way, but its basically trying to find ethnic Greeks.
In fact nationality through ethnicity is the norm. What isn't common is that every country but Israel is being pressured to change their nationality laws.
- luckylion 4y agoI haven't seen calls for boycott against Italy, Japan or Greece, especially not because of the ethnicity of the inhabitants. I wonder if we'd see it if there was a sizable Anti-Italian movement in the US.
- sbaiddn 4y agoYou asked if other countries have ethnic nationality, and I pointed out that most do. I added that, while I read The Economist and other "thought leader" rags call for a liberation of Japan, Italy, etc nationality law, I have never read any respectable editorial arguing the same for Israel. I did not mention anything about boycotts. but, since you asked, Japan and Italy were both boycotted (blockaded, actually) in the 30s for occupying territories and putting settlers there.
