An apartheid state. That is clearly wrong. An Arab party is in the government. Even they said that they don't see Israel as an apartheid state.
Most of them are living much much better than in any neighbor country.
- vkou 5y agoSome arabs in Israel are permitted to vote, just like how some African Americans living in the north had the right to vote pre-CRA/VRA. Pre-CRA/VRA America was also an apartheid state. Most do not have that right, despite being born there, and having no other home country. That some of them are enfranchised is a fig leaf over an apartheid state.
- MichaelRazum 5y agoI have to call out this. This is clearly wrong. Every Israeli citizen is allowed to vote. That is a fact. I don't know where you get your facts.
- sofixa 5y agoAre Palestinian Arabs Israeli citizens?
- vkou 5y ago> Every Israeli citizen is allowed to vote. The rhetorical sleight-of-hand that you are obscuring is that most Arabs living in Israel are not, and will never be allowed to become Israeli citizens. This is despite both being born, and living on a territory that is very clearly under the military control of the Knesset. It's either an indeterminate military occupation, or its apartheid. I don't care what you want to call it, but you have to pick one or the other, because in 2022, Palestine simply does not exist as a free, sovereign nation. It's either a civil territory of Israel, or occupied by Israel.
