Exactly how  is Israel an "apartheid" state?

Israel fits the very definition of an apartheid state. If they gave Palestinians a vote they would not be.

 

After Russia Israel would easily be the world's worst state actor.

Arab Israelis have the vote.

Not really sure what Palestinians are.

It's more accurate to say Arabs.

Jews in the area used to be called Palestinian which is my point.

About half of Jewish Israelis believe in separate and unequal when it comes to rights for Arab citizens of Israel. And 80% of Jewish Israelis believe that fateful decisions about Israel should be made by a majority of Jewish Israels.

Of course, if Jews were in a minority , then Israel could be voted out of existence

Arab Israelis have the vote.  What does "if they gave Palestinians a vote" actually mean?

 

You can of course imagine how wonderful would be the "democracy" formed by the Palestinians whose first aim in life is to sweep the Israelis into the sea.....

Not if they supported a two state solution which is what is fair and what the rest of the world wants. The Netanyahu government are racist scum.

This is all about Palestinians. The thread title is about Palestinians. Stay on topic!

What a bizarre statement. 

You do know that most Arab Israelis identify as Palestinians?

I call BS.

A two state solution is not strongly supported on either side!

Palestinians don't identify as Israelis. You too, stop trolling, you know exactly what I mean. Stop the weasel words.

Palestinians don't want their own state now? What a stupid statement.

The Palestinians do not want a two state solution though , had they agreed to that , there would indeed currently be two states .

   Israel agreed to a two state solution, Palestinians reject it

It's not trolling.

It's an artificially created identity for Arabs in the general area  I recall even Yarafat said as much.

I really think Arabs is much more accurate.

So we have Arab Israelis, Arabs in Gaza, Arabs in the west Bank, Arabs from the region in the diaspora.

It would be a 1/2 a state solution, they have never been offered a state based on international law, which is the UN agreed borders.

No, we have Palestinians in the west bank and gaza.

I think Arab Israelis identify as Palestinian Arab ethnically but Israeli nationally.

What you think is irrelevant. It's what Palestinians thinks that matters. And international law.

Palestinians who are Israeli citizens get to vote  , some two million Palestinians  Israeli Arabs get to vote and they also get elected to their Parliament .

No room for, say, Myanmar, in your rankings

You've lost me. 

Apparently not hard to do. Is any part of Israel in Palestine, other than the illegally occupied territories?
