As global immigration challenges intensify, Israel faces unique dilemmas, particularly regarding its Arab population and questions of national identity. The article proposes revisiting the Torah-based concept of the ger toshav, a status for non-Jews who accept basic moral laws and Jewish sovereignty, granting them rights and protections without full citizenship. This framework, the author argues, allows for clear distinctions between citizens, peaceful residents, and hostile actors, balancing national security with compassion. The model is presented as a potential solution not only for Israel but also for other nations grappling with immigration, offering a structured, ethical alternative to both open borders and total exclusion.
