It is a democracy within its legal internationally recognized borders. There is no apartheid in Israel. It's no more "ethno-state" than let's say Japan or Switzerland, in fact it is a lot more ethnically diverse with 2 million Arab citizens. There is the problem of the occupied territories (which Israel's law considers occupied in alignment with international practices) where people in limbo due to the unresolved status. That's not apartheid (despite Israeli citizens being treated differently in those territories). Maybe legally and morally questionable but how we got here and why we can't fix this is also relevant. | ||||||||

> Israel is a ethno-state and an apartheid regime. Don’t call this a Democracy, please. Ireland and Poland (as well as many other countries) are ethno-states too. Did they stop being democracies? Last I checked, the vote of israeli non-Jews counted the same way as the israeli Jewish one. How can Israel be an apartheid state if Arabs in Israel routinely take highest positions in both public and private sector? It makes zero sense. | ||||||||
