Oh, how helpful. Here’s a definition of elitism:
> a political strategy based on a calculated appeal to the interests or prejudices of elites (or those who think they are)
That sounds like bullshit, doesn’t it?
By the way, that’s a hilarious “definition” of populism. It’s so elitist it’s like a caricature. (“Populism is wrong because only dumb, brutish commoners would think that the elites are working against them.” Just beyond parody)

> Israel is home to a broad demographic. All citizens are allowed to vote. There is nothing similar to the Apartheid; repeatedly claiming so doesn’t make it true.
I know that someone is full of it.
Here’s Amnesty International (2022). I’m sure you could find others. This isn’t some fringe theory.
