Israel's Democratic Identity in Question

Israel's classification as a liberal democracy is challenged, with arguments suggesting it functions more like an apartheid regime, akin to historical South Africa. The differentiation in law based on ethnicity and religion fosters disparities, particularly affecting Palestinian populations living in Israel. Notably, recent legislation established Israel as a Jewish state, granting preferential treatment to Jewish citizens while imposing discriminatory practices on non-Jewish residents. This legal framework raises significant concerns about the fairness and application of justice within the nation.
