Good Evening everyone
Nice to see this thread is back as am I.
I hope all is well. Is Seven still around ? If there's one person I miss talking politics with, it's Mr. Waffles.
I know this is an old post Jack but it is an interesting question you have raised with which I want to answer since I had left ages ago and only continued reading today from where we left off which was...more than 5 months ago.
As you know, the way of thinking around the globe is different, and what I came across while I was studying in the States was that the West thinks quite differently than the East. You probably know this of course, but your question can also be arranged with different nationalities. It's like asking if an Indian can become a Pakistani if he/she/them emigrated to Pakistan and their children grew up and started a life and a career there. In America maybe, but in the Eastern countries, no. Your question I want to answer however, has 2 answers, yes and no. Are the kids Israeli ? Of course not. Do they get to hold the Israeli nationality ? I guess if they went to immigration and applied for it, then yes (depending on what the rules are to obtain an Israeli nationality, as I know Jews who aren't Israeli get it for free).
But at the end of the day, there not Israeli...Only because "Israel" is "land of the Jews" (as they state) and the country is built around it's religion . I'm guessing the Japanese in your question aren't Jews yes ? Theocracy at it's finest. Which you and I are totally against. If they are Jews, and they do become "Israeli" (because there Jews of course), but there is another hidden agenda. Racism. I don't think Israelis are used to seeing any Asian jews and then the stereotyping begins but that is another matter with another answer.
Anyways, back to your question, had the Japanese in your question moved to America and started their lives there, then yes, they would be "that nationality". To Israel and other Eastern countries, especially the Arab ones, no. A Lebanese can't be a Saudi, nor can an Emirati be a Libyan. It all comes down to democracy, which hasn't evolved well enough in the Eastern parts of the world I'm afraid, which is an utter tragedy.
Politics aside, people need to realize that this is our Earth and we are all humans, one race and one race only. The more people realize this, the less wars we have to fight. To start playing geo-political games and moving armies around and talking endless politics is just dumbfounded because it will never reach us anywhere. I feel this race isn't ready for a no-boundary peace loving planet because of religion and other internal bullshit.

A Japanese family emigrated to Israel, they have two kids 2 and 5 years old. The family is settled there, the kids are raised there, they go to school, university and start their careers. Are the kids Israeli? Do they get to hold the Israeli nationality?
