This is a mélange of misinformation.
1. “The Israeli government has instructed domestic airlines not to allow Israeli citizens to leave the country on planes designated for the repatriation of Israelis stranded abroad. The decision stems from security officials’ concerns about overcrowding at Ben-Gurion Airport and the risk of mass casualties among passengers waiting to depart.”
In other words, to avoid providing a concentrated target for a missile attack.
2. Only religious marriages are recognized in Israel. Orthodox Jews don’t allow intermarriage or even marriage with Jews of questionable descent who have not undergone ritual conversion.
Surprise! Muslims don’t allow religious intermarriage except with Christian or Jewish women.
The way around it is to get married outside of Israel. If married outside its borders, the marriage is recognized once the couple returns. Tons of Israelis get married in Cyprus for that reason.
3. Currently, Israeli identity cards do not officially state a person’s race or ethnicity. In the past, there was a field for “nationality” that could indicate religious affiliation, such as Jewish, Muslim, or Christian, but this was later removed. While the civil registration database may still contain such information, it is not explicitly printed on the physical ID cards.
4. Arab Israelis are accorded full civil rights. Arab Israelis serve in the cabinet and have represented Israel in the Eurovision song competition and in Miss Universe. Arab Israelis play in all the professional soccer and basketball leagues and have represented their country in the Olympics and Para-Olympics. Arabs can serve voluntarily in the IDF. Two are currently officers.
1.) Maybe that is the reason. Maybe not.
2.) Most Muslim countries aren’t democracies either. They are also ethno-states.
3.) Yes, I specifically said “Until recently”. The fact that they just quit putting it on the IDs but they still track it, proves my point.
4.) There are checkpoints throughout the country that restrict the movement of muslims. There are large portions of the country (Gaza/West Bank) that are under the control of the government where the people’s rights are restricted. It would be like if we kept Indians locked on reservations, wouldn’t allow them to leave, micromanaged what came and went, how much food they got, how much medicine they got, how much fuel/power they got, etc... I am not arguing that it isn’t in Israel’s best interest to do so. I am only arguing that they are not a democracy.
