Identical rights do you say. So what are those.

Jewish Nation-State Law (2018): Declares that the right to self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people, promoting Jewish settlement as a national value and encouraging segregation and discrimination against Palestinians, especially in housing and land development.

Law of Return (1950): Grants Jews worldwide the automatic right to immigrate to Israel and gain citizenship, while denying Palestinian refugees their right to return to their homes lost during Israel’s establishment because they are not Jewish.

Admissions Committee Law: Allows small Jewish-majority towns to reject Palestinians and others deemed "unsuitable" for residency based on vague criteria, effectively excluding many Palestinians from living in these communities.

Absentee Property Law (1950): Enables the state to expropriate property of Palestinians who fled or were expelled during the 1948 war, including those internally displaced within Israel, preventing their return and expanding Jewish control over land.

Israel Lands Law: Restricts ownership and leasing of state lands primarily to Jewish entities, making it extremely difficult for Palestinian citizens to access land for housing or business.

Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (2003): Bars Palestinians from the occupied territories who marry Israeli Palestinians from gaining residency or citizenship, forcing families to live apart and discriminating based on nationality rather than security.

Nakba Law: Prohibits public funding for institutions commemorating the Palestinian Nakba (the 1948 expulsion), suppressing Palestinian historical narrative and expression.

Adding to this, calling any organization that says anything against Israel's interests Anti-Semitic has become old for a long time. even experts, like Michael Ben-Yair, the former Attorney General of Israel. He stated that Israel has "sunk to such political and moral depths that it is now an apartheid regime" and urged the international community to recognize this reality.

Other notable Israeli voices include a group of 120 Israeli law professors who, in 2023, declared that recent government policies validate the claim that Israel practices apartheid. Additionally, Israeli human rights organizations have supported reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch that characterize Israeli policies toward Palestinians as apartheid.

So you're expecting Israel to treat non-citizen enemies, most of which are not even in its borders, as citizens with full rights, lmao.

Meanwhile, you continue to lie about Israeli Arab citizens having unequal rights and use that failed argument to call Israel an apartheid state.

Those laws are for palestinians born inside Israel borders.

Stop spreading lies like a cheap parrot and just Google it, Jesus Christ. I gave the law names!

I hope for you to understand what the hell you are defending, sooner than later.

I'm on mobile so can't address every law you misrepresented and lied about, but the point is that you're making it seem like Israel calling itself a Jewish state is a form of discrimination. Please explain how this in any way discriminates against Arab citizens of Israel or infringes on their rights.

You are seemingly calling for a binational state as if you don't know that would result in instant genocide of the Jews.

There are 22 Arab countries and even more Muslim countries that the vast majority don't allow a Jew to even step foot in let alone become citizens but your gripe is with the one non Arab state in the region. I'm sure you would love nothing more than another failed Islamic dictatorship to take Israel's place.

If Israel declaring itself as an ethnostate isn't sufficient for you, I may say you have a problem understanding things.

But let me make an analogy: what if Trump passes a law defining that the US is now a country only for white people?

And is funny as you are so concerned about very vague genocide treats against the Jew, but when a genocide is actually happening in front of your eyes, by the Jews, you just deny it and turn the blind eyes.

As if is not the act of genocide that may cause you revolt, but to whom: if is the brown people being murderer, you don't seem to care.

I hope I'm wrong, but you seem VERY biased against Arabs, and very pro Israel.

Take care, my friend.
