Apartheid South Africa had WAY MORE colored members of parliament than Israeli Arabs in the Knesset Apartheid's 1983 Tricameral Parliament allowed 2.8 million colored & 850,000 Indian citizens to vote. 42% of parliament members were colored & Indian Reps. Still Apartheid!

Israel is NOT a democracy! A democracy grants equal citizenship to all its subjects. Israel's "democracy" excludes 6 million Palestinians whose lives it completely controls; it keeps 8 million more shut out in exile; & it passed a 2018 nation-state law that officially designated the 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship as 2nd class citizens. That decades-long demographic engineering to maintain an 80% Jewish majority is the exact opposite of a democratic system. Liberal democracy means equal protection & rights for all citizens. Israel's ethnonationalism privileges a core national or ethnic group. The two cannot be combined! An "ethnic democracy" (Israel's system) is a contradiction in terms. It doesn't uphold the principles of political equality and non-discrimination because it structurally privileges one ethnic group over another. Institutionalized ethnic dominance inherently relegates minorities to a secondary political or symbolic status, creating systemic instability and limiting equal protection under the law. That's why Human Rights Watch concluded that Israel maintains an apartheid system between the River and the Sea, including against Palestinian citizens of Israel.

Meet Israel's new Knesset members🧵 Moshe Feiglin: "As Hitler said, ‘I cannot live if one Jew is left.’ We can’t live here if one ‘Islamo-Nazi’ remains in Gaza" "Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy"

Apartheid South Africa also used to say "Why are we are the world's most criticized state, despite being the only democracy in Africa with Western values, the only truly industrialized state in Africa, & ranked among the 20 most developed nations in the world"
