    I think because it suggests that there is such thing as Israeli Ethnostate. There is Israel, in which you have about 25% Arab citizens. Far from being ethnostate, the Arab citizens enjoy equal rights and protections from the state.

      Israel passed a controversial new “nation-state law” last week that’s sparking both celebration and fierce debate over the very nature of Israel itself.

      The law does three big things:

      It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people."

      It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”

      It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”

      Are you blatantly lying or are you just incredibly misinformed?
