Arab(muslim/christian) citizens get full rights under law, vote like any jew israeli.
On the flip side, in the occupied territories the Palestinians (arab muslims/christians) don't get to vote, and are basically under military occupation.
So Israel is (was) willing to give equal rights to any one who accepts jews place in israel.
The last few decades are begining to erode this willingness. And I fear we maybe slipping to full apartheid.
Not that surprising though that someone who is trying to form their own country won’t get to vote in a country which they don’t recognize as having a right to exist and don’t want any part in.
What is Israel doing better than pre apartheid South Africa? Or rather, what are the positive differences between the two regimes?
