Well that's the concept of Israel... It's democratic and secular... But for Jews only. Arabs living in Israel proper are giving voting rights but are an insignificant part of the population. They de facto Govern the occupied territories as well, but those Arabs have no voting rights. They're deathly afraid of the State actually having any true pluralism as then the state is no longer dominated by Jews.
In other words, apartheid, de facto Nazism and the anti-thesis of the Western European nation state models.

That's very unfair.
Come on..It's a very tiny country. Logistically, they simply can't afford to be a huge haven for non Jews.
As to their treatment of the Arabs, it's certainly discriminatory, but Apartheid is a bit strong.

Last time I checked the Palestinian Authority has autonomy over the West Bank. But I don't waste my time with trolls.

While their is a p$ssing match between Jewish and Arab society, Arab citizens in Israel enjoy the highest quality of life than in any other country in the Middle East.
This is pretty smart; if you're going to be deporting illegal immigrants regardless and can pay them to leave for less than the cost of deporting them, that's a win-win slam dunk as long as it isn't enough money that people start trying to enter the country specifically to collect on the offer.
It was $1,500 but now Israel will pay African refugees $3,500 to leave. This will help to "protect the Jewish and democratic character" of Israel.

Hmmm. But many Jews in Western countries are always pushing for "diversity." Curious thing, that.
