They do not have equal rights, that is just objectively false. Here’s an example: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-knesset-passes-law-barring-palestinian-spouses-2022-03-10/
The Knesset often passes laws that disproportionately affect Arab Israelis in a negative way.
That law is about naturalization of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, who are not Israeli citizens.
I think we both agree that the West Bank is not the legal territory of Israel, right?
Naturalisation, by definition, involves people who are not Israeli citizens.
It’s about Arab Israelis who are married to a Palestinian, which is the only group of people not allowed to naturalise to, and I quote, “preserve the Jewishness of Israel”. And of course, Arab Israelis happen to be the one group in Israel who marry Palestinians.
It’s a law designed to prevent the Arab Israelis from naturalising their family members, which is a privilege afforded to the Jewish majority. It’s designed to keep the Arab Israelis a minority. And that’s not speculation, it’s literally claimed to be so by the lawmakers who drafted the law.
They have more rights than in any other country in the region.
I don’t think that’s a very high bar
Better than all the alternatives in the region is not good ? I suppose that people who condemn israel would only be ok with them if they had a perfect utopia.
That’s not what “equal rights” means.
