Yep, very clear demonstration of the fact that Israel is an apartheid state, given that it is indeed run by Jewish people despite the fact that Jewish people are a minority of the people living there.
According to Soffer, there are 7.45 million Jews and others along with 7.53 million Arab Israelis and Palestinians living in what he termed the Land of Israel, meaning Israel plus the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Ok but the fact is to get there you have to include the parts that aren’t technically Israel otherwise you’re back to Jewish people being the majority.
So in other words, one has to exclude significant, heavily populated areas that are being governed by the state of Israel in order to claim that it’s a democracy. It is deeply unclear why one would want to do so, though, given that the same government has given its full endorsement to settlers moving into these same areas, and has given absolutely no indication (in recent decades, at least) of ever intending to vacate these territories.
It’s like when I hear “Back in the days there was no cancer and no mental disorders”. Like yeah, people just died randomly and behaved weird and were called possessed and stuff
Not a huge trek fan. Watched some TOS in syndication in HS. Watched disco, Lower Decks, and started Brave New Worlds recently. The only government I can really recall are tribunals and starfleet which seems to be a council. Do they often talk over overarching Federation government proceedings? I mean, it's definitely a utopia if just for the post-scarcity.
It’s a bureaucratic nightmare to maintain the utopia tends to be the big flaw. And they’re ideological to a fault, but are also willing to look away while stuff gets done for them unethically.
