@banto1 I would argue that Isreal wasn't a functioning democracy until the 90s because a functioning democracy needs an independent court that can protect the people from legislators who violate rights and the law. Instead of mob rule overriding basic (constitutional) protections with a simple majority, the obvious solution is to give a check on the judiciary to the legislators. For example, America lawmakers don't appoint federal judges, but they do have to approve them with 51 of 100 votes. (It should be 60 of 100, but that is an issue for another day).

Arabs are voting Isreal citizens. However, most Palestinians don't want to gain voting rights in Isreal. They want a separate country.

@mokied It goes both ways. Isreal and Palestinians should just share a secular country and live as equal citizens. Unfortunately, this seems unworkable because both sides are too intolerant to share power with one another. Now we have Palestinian demanding an independent state, while Isreal is building an apartheid government with Jews at the top.

@mokied They did as part of a scheme to annex more Palestinian territory into Isreal.

@EL-oj6uq It seems like you have selective memory as the court as sided with the right wing on most settlement issues
