Critics accuse Israel of abandoning democracy over Palestinian statehood
Original: #Israel can’t simultaneously be a democracy, a homogeneous ethno-theocratic State and reject the existence of an Arab St
Commentators are arguing that Israel cannot simultaneously be a democracy, a homogeneous ethno-theocratic state, and a state that rejects the existence of a Palestinian or Arab state. One widely shared post claimed the country has effectively chosen to give up on being a democracy in order to preserve its other defining characteristics. The argument reflects ongoing debate over Israel's identity, its policies toward Palestinians, and the stalled prospects for a two-state solution.
Why now: Ongoing conflict and political debate over Israel's democratic character and Palestinian statehood keep the criticism circulating.
Evidence
- #Israel can’t simultaneously be a democracy, a homogeneous ethno-theocratic State and reject the existence of an Arab State. So it just decided to give up on trying to be a democracy.… · fabio@manganiello.eu · 6
