Aren't every modern state are ethnostate ? I They just call it "nationality"
States can have different aims of the structuie their peoples should have. Liberal capitalist states currently state that they ignore ethnicity in the makeup of their peoples, as long as they can help the nation in the international competition.
Nazi-Germany had a strong focus on having some sort of ethnic monoculture in the makeup of the German people.
Israel strait up states that it doesn't value arabic lives and favours ashkenazi jews. They claim to be "the one jewish state" and actively draw jewish people to settle there.
And then horribly mistreat some of them, e.g. those of Ethiopian ancestry (there was a whole forced sterilization scandal). They really just want Jews of European, North African, and Arab ancestry, and even then they prefer the Europeans.
So like Palestine?
Please elaborate what you mean. I don't get it.
If I'm understanding this sentence correctly, you are saying that modern state could exist without discriminating people regarding of their ethnicity. That's incorrect, but first we may be clarified some definitions : their is no scientific differences between nations, ethnicities or races. Those word define group of people with an arbitrary definition. However, nations is usually used for a recognized group (by law for example), and ethnicities is commonly used to define people see as "primal".
Nations are social construct, usually based on genocide. Every modern state with a nation have disciminized, secregate or exterminate people who do not fit in the category of the national identity : gypsies, local minoritues, jews, ...
Their is a specific history of nationality in germany ("volk"), however even in the most "liberal capitalist state", the nationality is somewhat linked with a national identity, a parent, or a place of birth. The only place that came in my mind that may not have a "blood" related access to nationality is the UK. However this a rare case of multi-national state, with some other way of discriminate people based on their nationality (i.ethe Ireland)
