Does being “the Jewish state” justify deliberately denying representation to a sizable minority because wow

there is a huge issue of racism involved but this is way oversimplified. all the parties in netanyahu’s bloc have said they won’t work with arabs (very racist). most but not all of eisenkot’s coalition has said they don’t want to work with Joint List (the anti-Zionist Arab party) but more of them are open to working with Ra’am (non-Zionist Arab party). Yair Golan, chair of the second largest party of Eisenkot’s bloc, is actively pushing for the Arab parties to both join the coalition

and the majority of change bloc voters say they want it to happen. right now, coalition talks are happening between the Arab parties and eisenkot’s bloc but when there’s no clear coalition majority, negotiations can take weeks or months especially when there are big policy disagreements

the more politically tense things are the longer it typically takes because the parties try to get lots of concessions out of each other
