I went to a demo yesterday by Toronto Jews demanding democracy, wearing a sign that says JEWS AGAINST ISRAEL'S CRIMES. I asked a couple of them whether they'd want to live in Canada if it were not a state of all its citizens. I'm not sure they knew what I was talking about.

People don't have to be talented or remarkable or both to deserve basic human rights.

A state of all its citizens, you mean like Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, and the rest of the Arab League?

So you don't support the Abraham Accords which - against the wishes of the Palestinians and the citizens of those countries - ally the apartheid Israeli state with the undemocratic Arab governments?

Undemocratic? What do you mean, undemocratic? I thought only Israel was so evil and so terrible that it's an ethnic-based nation state. Are you say multiple Arab governments are also ethnic-based nation states?? Where's the anti-Zionist movement for all of them?

Undemocratic? As in apartheid Israel. You seem to have a great deal of time, Winters, to hang around on this site spouting your lies. We're not listening.

Then stop responding to me, James. I know it's inconvenient for you guys, but Israel as a Jewish state is not exceptional, it's quite common for countries to be ethnic-based nation states.

Please list such democracies where 25% of their populations are NOT the ruling ethnicity. Please don’t list places like Japan etc, it’s not even a comparison, they are basically 98-99% Japanese, not 75%. This is just more of your lazy whataboutism to deflect from the fact that Israel needs to do much better
