    Meanwhile, there are about 2 million Arab citizens (mostly Muslim) of Israel who are entitled to equal rights, including government subsidized Churches and Mosques.

    Plus Arabic being an official language, same status as Hebrew.

    People calling it an ethnostate have never been there or arguing in bad faith. It’s obvious.

    Not that any of this has to do with the current atrocities in any way. But some people can’t help themselves but to paint the country in a bad way. Which is kind of some because that’s super easy right now. Guess some people just want to go the extra mile.

      This is horseshit. Regardless of whatever it might say on paper, the indigenous peoples obviously don’t have equal rights with the Western settlers, and the indigenous Arabic language obviously doesn’t have equal standing with the newly-resurrected Hebrew. In practice not even the indigenous Jews have equal rights with the Western settlers, nor do the Ethiopian settlers.
