    The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a request by a group of

    Israelis to declare that they were members of the Israeli people and to

    allow them to change the ethnic registration on their identity cards from

    Jewish to Israeli.

    The court ruled that the issue was not one for the court to decide and that

    there was no proof of the existence of a uniquely Israeli people. The

    courts ruling echoed that in a similar case 40 years ago.

    The decision by court President Asher Grunis and Justices Uzi Vogelman

    and Hanan Melcer upheld the 2008 ruling by their colleague, Noam

    Sohlberg, who, as a Jerusalem District Court judge, had rejected the

    groups petition.

    Israel does not recognize Israeli as an ethnic group [in Hebrewleom.]

    The term can be translated into English as nationhood, but in the sense

    of ethnic affiliation, rather than citizenship. The leom attrribution - the

    main ones are Jewish and Arab - is assigned by the

    Interior Ministry, regardless of the card-bearers

    preference.

    The main appellant was Prof. Uzzi Ornan, a linguist

    who has long battled to separate religion and state.

    Ornan, 90, was born and raised in Jerusalem. He was

    expelled to Eritrea in 1944, when his underground

    activities were revealed to the British authorities.

    Court rejection of Israeli nationality

    highl ight s flaws of Jewish democracy

    By Aeyal Gross | Oct. 3, 2013 | 4:05 PM | 1

    MORE FROM HAARETZ.COM FROM AROUND THE WEB

    When he returned to Israel in 1948, he was registered

    in the states first c ensus and insisted that he not be

    listed as Jewish. Instead, he wrote that he was of no

    religion and gave his ethnic designation as Hebrew.

    The newly-formed Interior Ministry accepted this

    without question.

    In 2000, Ornan petitioned the Interior Ministry to be registered as an

    ethnic Israeli, but his request was rejected and none of his subsequent

    legal actions were successful. In 2007, he submitted another appeal to the

    Jerusalem District Court, together with Uri Avnery, Shulamit Aloni, Prof.

    Itamar Even-Zohar, Prof. Yosef Agassi, singer Alon Olearchik, playwright

    Joshua Sobol and others.

    In his ruling rejecting the appeal, Sohlberg stated, the requested

    declaration has a public, ideological, social, historic and political

    character but not a legal one. This isnt a technical issue of registration

    in the Population Registry, but a request that the court determine that in

    the State of I srael a new peoplehood has been formed, common to all its

    residents and citizens, called Israeli. T his issue is a national-political-

    social question and it is not the court s place to decide it.

    The group argued in its appeal that an Israeli people was formed with the

    establishment of the State of Israel and that rejecting the existence of such

    a people is like rejecting the existence of the State of Israel as ademocratic, sovereign state. They added that this was indeed a legal

    question that the courts could not avoid. In their response, the Interior

    Ministry and the attorney-general supported the district court dec ision,

    saying the issue was not justiciable.

    The primary precedent on which the justices based themselves in their

    ruling Wednesday was the case of Dr. Georges Tamarin, who immigrated

    to Israel in 194 9 from Yugoslavia. He was registered as being of Jewish

    ethnicity, but in the religion section was listed as having no religion.

    In 197 0, after a change in the law that forbade listing someone as being

    Jewish in either the ethnicity or religion section if he didnt meet the

    description of a Jew in the Law of Return, Tamarin went to court to

    change his ethnic designation to Israeli. Both the Tel Av iv District Courtand the Supreme Court rejected his request, stating that for a person to

    declare that he belongs to a given ethnic group, there had to be proof that

    the group exists. Court President Shimon Agranat stated that there is no

    significance to the persons subjective feeling of belonging to a given

    ethnic group, without being able to establish via any criteria that such a

    group exists.

    Ornan expressed his disappointment with the ruling. I n its ruling the

    court, in effect, agrees to totally ignore the obligations included in the

    Declaration of Independence, which promises full equality among all the

    states citizens, regardless of religion, race or gender, he said.

    The government consensus that has developed ignores the existence of

    an Israeli people that was created with the Declaration of Independence,

    Ornan continued. This consensus enables the Jewish majority to have full

    control over the country and to operate not for the benefit of Israeli

    citizens but for the benefit of the current political majority among the

    Jews.
