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.
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.

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?

Add 5.9 million Palestinian refugees to that list as well. The Zionist settlers are a minority in Palestine.
