Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a multi-party system, independent judiciary, elections and civil liberty.
If you believe otherwise, you must be knee-deep in Hamas propaganda, as many Western leftists seem to be.
> It wasn't Hamas that "expelled the Jews" in 2005, it was Israel that dismantled its illegal settlements.
So Hamas made it illegal for Jews to live in Gaza? Sounds like an apartheid state to me...
Meanwhile 21% of Israeli citizens are Arab.
No, it is not, it is a supremacist apartheid state, which is also illegally occupying and settling territory. Hamas more commonly calls israelis nazis, rather than mentioning the apartheid.
No, international law made it illegal.
It's a stretch to call them "citizens".
