    So White Christian Nationalists wanting to have their own ethnostate and exterminate non-whites is bad, but Jewish Nationalists (Zionists) wanting to have their own ethnostate and exterminate non-Jews is ok?

      Almost every state is built around a dominant ethnicity. Israel is not 100% Jewish. And as long as they treat minorities fairly, it’s not inherently bad.

      Exterminating other races is unequivocally bad in all cases, but you only included that to appeal to emotion.

        An ethnostate does not simply imply a that a majority of one ethnic group exists. Apartheid is not normal for most states.

        An ethnocracy is a type of political structure in which the state apparatus is controlled by a dominant ethnic group (or groups) to further that group’s perceived interests, power, dominance, and resources.

          Then the US is already an ethnostate. And so are Norway, Germany, and Italy to different degrees.

          China and Japan are arguably better examples of ethnostates than Israel.
