Lo Stato ebraico come mito. Origini e conseguenze della Legge fondamentale “Nation-State”

In July 2018 the State of Israel passed its fourteenth Basic Law, the so-called Nation-State Law. The Law represents a formal and substantive rethinking of the Israeli political-constitutional structure and aims to (re)define the symbolic ethos of the State in ethno-religious terms. This operation, on the one hand, risks havingsignificant repercussions on the principle of equality and on some fundamental rights commonly recognized by liberal-democratic States. On the other hand, it seems to fit with the original structure of the peculiar Israeli form of State, which is founded on a mythological standpoint. The Nation-State Law is part of a historical and immanent vision. The final aim of this paper is to demonstrate, through both an internal and comparative analysis of the Nation-State Law previsions, that this vision is primarily “constitutional” because it is developed within a coherent juridical framework
