Let's start from the top then

You appear to be confusing Israel with the occupied territories.

  1. Under international law those territories are the responsibility of Israel.

  2. There's a section in the Israeli wiki page talking about this.

Many Arab citizens feel that the state, as well as society at large, not only actively limits them to second-class citizenship, but treats them as enemies, affecting their perception of the de jure versus de facto quality of their citizenship.[283] The joint document The Future Vision of the Palestinian Arabs in Israel, asserts: "Defining the Israeli State as a Jewish State and exploiting democracy in the service of its Jewishness excludes us, and creates tension between us and the nature and essence of the State." The document explains that by definition the "Jewish State" concept is based on ethnically preferential treatment towards Jews enshrined in immigration (the Law of Return) and land policy (the Jewish National Fund), and calls for the establishment of minority rights protections enforced by an independent anti-discrimination commission.

  1. Look up the israeli "nation state law". It outlines two kinds of citizens. The jews and everyone else. It was a pretty controversial law that passed anyway. Because that's how democracy works in an ethnostate.

There's a lot more. But I'm not ur mom. Do ur own research.

Also, here's a 300+ page document by the US. It mentions second class citizens. And a lot more human rights abuses

ethnostate

What does an ethnostate mean if not a state with restricted citizenship for certain ethnic and racial/religious groups? Does a place that you can be a citizen of based on ethnicity not an ethnostate. It's in the name bruh

That does not make those territories part of Israel. I am surprised that you claim they are. For me, and for the UN, they are mostly Palestine.

I don't need to look it up. I wasn't in favour of it, but it isn't undemocratic, nor does it establish different classes of citizen.

Do you even read this stuff?

Ahh, I see where you have got in a bit of a muddle. Let me help you out. Sharing a religion is not the same as being the same ethnicity.

Palestin as a politically cohesive entity still doesn't exist. No matter what anyone says. Israel makes sure to keep the territories divided. (Again if you read that article about Netanyahus plan to keep Palestin devided by funding hamas).

It's like how Taiwan is country. But the UN kinda doesn't really acknowledge it. Or catalonia is a kinda autonomous region. Or how western sahara is kinda another country but really not. Or Afghanistan whose government now is kinda taliban

There's many many many country that are either not recognized. Half recognized. Or are too divided to be recognized as one(the case for palestin). Or many more nuances and asterisks.

I like to call palestin a people without a government. Because hamas doesn't really fit a governmental role and was never made to. The plo is fine I guess (not really). And it's all by design. The representation of palestin in the UN is the plo btw.

nor does it establish different classes of citizen.

What does it do then? Genuine question. I learned about it very recently and haven't had the time to reread it. Also are you Jewish?

Do you even read this stuff?

Yes. Do you? I read the actual document that proposed it. And a few articles from the guardian and vox news and aljazeera and one deleted article from times of istrael I found on reddit.

Sharing a religion is not the same as being the same ethnicity.

So being Jewish is not an ethnicity? Also doesn't matter the definition of ethnostate includes religion not just ethnicity

True, but that doesn't make the Palestinian territories part of Israel.

I fully condemn Netanyahu and his machinations, but the original culprits are the Palestinians themselves.

Oh dear child. I highly recommend that you read a bit more actual history before you make such ridiculous and factually untrue statements.

I'm not your mum, and no.

So being Jewish is not an ethnicity?

No.

Also doesn't matter the definition of ethnostate includes religion not just ethnicity

It does matter and, as you eloquently pointed out, "its in the name bruh".

How so? Expand on that

before you make such ridiculous and factually untrue statements.

What statement would that be?

and no.

That's apparent. Because you know nothing about jews. Lol

It does matter and, as you eloquently pointed out, "its in the name bruh".

Because as pointed out to me by many many Jewish people. Including but not limited to my grandma. Jewishness isn't just a religion. It's an ethno-religion.

Imma have you do your homework and actually look into what you're talking about. Because it's abundantly clear you're talking straight out yo ass.

If you respond with another nothing burger of a comment. Consider this discussion over. If you have nothing more to contribute. Then I bid you au dieu
