EN | Why do 15 million people around the world have the right to citizenship in Israel?
from Israel, kurz erklärt · host Elisabeth Krafft
This is the English version of a German episode.An estimated 15 million people worldwide have the right to immigrate to Israel and obtain an Israeli passport — no language test, no proof of employment required. Why? It goes back to Israel's Law of Return, a law passed in 1950. Behind it lies a deliberate decision: to take a definition used by the Nazis to persecute Jews, and turn it into a guarantee of protection. This episode is about what's behind the Law of Return and what it still sets in motion today.Questions, feedback, or topic suggestions: [email protected] Editorial & Production: Elisabeth Krafft Originally published in German as: Warum haben Millionen Menschen weltweit Anspruch auf einen israelischen Pass?This episode was translated with the help of AI.
