Lol you lost me already.
Of course Israel is a democracy. The vast majority of their people are in agreement on this genocide. We're not talking about a people beaten down by a dictatorship with no choice but to go along.
Israel occupies the Palestinian land and dictates their lives. They have no say in what israel does to them. It is not a democracy. Because remember the Palestinians are people too and they would very much like the ability to self determine.
Do you have any arguments?

Palestinian’s are people. Israel exerts extensive control over there lives and yet does not allow them to vote. Additionally, as part of the israeli basic law only jewish israeli’s are allowed to self determine.
Arabs in Israel are equal by law. The have representatives in the parliament. I'm not trying to deny that Israel is heavily racist in politics and societal, but so is every other country and every other democracy and it doesn't make Israel not a democracy. Even though it's democracy is under attack by right wing Likud, but that's also true for literally every European country.
Extremely ignorant take.
The apartheid that people talk about is for Palestinians living under Israeli military rule in the west bank.
Israel's government has been extremely right-wing for the last few decades it's existed for.
