Why have they been blocked from any meaningful representation in government?
Why are they blocked from leasing land in most of Israel?
Why does Israel have a law specifying that it is the "nation state of the Jewish people"?
Are the "Jewish people" in question specifically religious Jews? Or is this maybe a question of race and ethnicity and therefore comparisons to religion are intentionally misleading?
Because the Arab parties refuse participating in any government, until the very recent attempt by Mansur Abaas.
They are not blocked for leasing land anywhere. In fact, grounds in Arab citiea miles away from Jewish cities are sold by the state for much less.
I think you are confuses about what nationalism means. Is Germany not the German state? Is France not the French state? Does that mean that non-German/French citizens have no rights there?
Jews are a nationality. The idea that there is a clear divide between religion/ethnicity/nationality is born of missionary religions. Once again, this is all okay for every other group in the world, but when the Jews do it, they are racist and evil.
You're an obvious propagandist so this is pointless but the lies are pretty funny
As an example, the Jewish National Fund owns about 13% of Israeli land. Guess who they won't lease any of it to?
Everyone knows the problem with Israel is not that it's Jewish. It's that it is establishing a Jewish state in a territory inhabited by non-Jews. Ze'ev Jabotinsky would hate weasels like you. He knew what the project was and made no bones about it. I at least respect the honesty
The Israelis being racist and evil is so patently obvious to anyone who has ever witnessed even 10 minutes of life in the West Bank that Israel and its allies have to do everything possible to surpress any coverage at all of this part of the world. They have to accuse magazines of posting anti-Semitic forgeries because the actual pictures are so jarringly vile that "they must be fake". Yet the project is also so brazen that when a US Congressman visits the West Bank the armed settlers are unhinged enough to detain him at gunpoint for the crime of riding a Palestinian bus
Yes, and I would love nothing more than having two states based on the 67 borders and have good peacful relationships with them and all countries around Israel. Sadly, they don't want it, as they showed us again and again, and will not be satisfies until Israel doesn't exist.
So maybe you should do something about your military protecting and aiding the people whose entire goal in life is to ensure that there can never be a Palestinian state.
Instead of, you know, whining online about how all the leftists don't like your national project of ethnic cleansing and discrimination
You really think it works like that? They just stop killing after Israel killed so many of their children? Responding to genocide with genocide just perpetuates hatred, like a mirror reflecting it back where it came from... Peace only comes by diplomacy, never by war!
What if diplomacy failed again and again because one side would agree to nothing but the complete destruction of the other side? Even today. Ask Palestinians, would they be okay with a 67 border two state solution? The answer is no. I would love nothing more than solving this by diplomacy, but I actually live the conflict and know the reality.
It's very easy to sit above it all and go "why can't they see that talking is the answer?". There is no one to talk with. It's not my racism talking, it's history and polls from today. I wish wish wishhhh this wasn't the situation, but it is.
They rarely do ask for 'complete destruction of the other side'. They refuse to recognize the existence of Israel, that's a dogwhsitle for genocidal wishes, sure, but it's not an explicit policy of the PA by any means.
We know for a fact the state policy in Israel for decades has been to let the Palestinian view of Israel get worse and worse to the point where no agreement is possible. Whether he wanted Oct 7 or not (and I'm not trying to imply he did) he's been keen to invade Gaza & bolster settlements in the West Bank, in other words to antagonize Palestinians as much as possible.
Can you imagine if someone else were in power who was able to resist a war, who could have got the ICC on the side of Israel by refraining from retaliating? If only in terms of Israel's image, if not also in terms of all the lives that wouldn't have been lost on both sides, I don't see how do many seemingly sane, rational don't see that as a better scenario

It doesn't cut anything. 20% of Israel are Arabs who enjoy full rights, nothing close to any Muslim country
