When 1/2 your population is oppressed or forced out of the country you are not a democracy. |
You are when they can vote, which they can. Non-citizens rightly have no vote. The Knesset contains Jews and Arabs (Muslim, Druze, Christian) from different parties. Arabs are a minority, but they are represented and can vote when entitled to do so by citizenship. That is, by definition, a democracy; the Knesset's composition reflects the diversity of the country's population. |
Arab citizens have the same legal rights as Jewish Israelis. They tend to be less educated and do face socioeconomic disadvantages associated with that. Where there is discrimination against Arab citizens, it is not state-sanctioned, and is based on the behavior of admittedly non-citizen Muslim Arabs who are correctly recognized as behind Palestinian terror targeting Israeli citizens. Were such terror to end, the unfortunate but understandable association of Palestinians with it would also end, perhaps leading to less discrimination based on that type of deplorable activity. |
Bingo. Even the actual Arab citizens and their localities deal with disparate treatment discrimination. |
Netanyahu has been in office since 1995 again and again. What kinda democracy does Israel have? |
Bullsh!t. Israel has said it limits the number of non-jewish citizens so that every jewish voter counts more. There will never be a jewish minority. Not only that, jews are one of the most racist people. 48% of jews in israel agreed with the statement that "Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel. It's an apartheid ethnostate for a reason. They've also said they want a jewish majority in the occupied West Bank. How exactly do you think they're going about with this? It's one thing to be a parasitic Israel lover. It's another to spread lies. |
| Amazing that Jeff allows the IRGC agent to still post here, in full hatred and paranoia. |
| He should have attacked, shame he didn’t. |
Unhinged Hamas agent in last throws of your impending doom. It’s your end you worry about. |
You are an uneducated….. |
Amen x10000000000000000000000000 |
She isn’t very good at it though. I mean, I was a very strong supporter of Gaza (as in I’ve attended protests etc.) and reading the unhinged posts here have pushed me much more towards the Israeli side. I want nothing to do with the Candace Owens crowd. |
jfc replying to your own posts?? I was this and now I'm that. Team Israel!!!! Your left hand high fiving your right hand. Riiiiiiight genocide protester becomes genocide denier. Makes a lot of sense. But there's one thing I don't get. Are the anti-Israel people here Hamas, MAGA, leftists, fascists, Candace fans, or self-loathing jews? You seem to blame all of them. I guess it's because it is all of them. |
