    You wouldn’t believe it, but people who live in Israel are called Israelis. Very suspicious indeed.

    This is the same format of “source” my buddy would show me when he rambled on about COVID conspiracies. Or flat earth stuff. His source was always someone putting random images and text snippets together instead of a legit news/research source. We no longer talk about stuff and stick to literally nothing controversial.

    Most business owners there are Israeli citizens too, coincidence? There’s something weird going on, I’m just asking questions, guys.

      Clearly a yuge conspiracy against Americans, everyone knows Americans are the best businessmen, anyone who says different only says that because they’re worse - it’s true, folks, these people love to lie - after my christening I closed a 7 figure deal, they can’t say that, can they? No they can’t because they don’t do christenings there, very sad, very rude to the Christian population those Christians always getting the short end of the stick but they won’t talk about that will they folks, no they won’t. I will though, somebody has to stand up for those righteous oppressed people and the media sure won’t do it but I’ll make sure everybody knows that Americans are getting a shit deal there

    Yep, very clear demonstration of the fact that Israel is an apartheid state, given that it is indeed run by Jewish people despite the fact that Jewish people are a minority of the people living there.

      Except they make up 73% of the population of Israel so it’s yet another country run by the majority.

        Maybe if you only count citizens, but there’s a large oppressed population called Palestinians, maybe you’ve heard of them?

        https://www.timesofisrael.com/jews-now-a-minority-in-israel-and-the-territories-demographer-says/

        According to Soffer, there are 7.45 million Jews and others along with 7.53 million Arab Israelis and Palestinians living in what he termed the Land of Israel, meaning Israel plus the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

          Ok but the fact is to get there you have to include the parts that aren’t technically Israel otherwise you’re back to Jewish people being the majority.

            So in other words, one has to exclude significant, heavily populated areas that are being governed by the state of Israel in order to claim that it’s a democracy. It is deeply unclear why one would want to do so, though, given that the same government has given its full endorsement to settlers moving into these same areas, and has given absolutely no indication (in recent decades, at least) of ever intending to vacate these territories.
