Fuck Israel but I don’t know about only apartheid state, there’s some shitass countries in the Gulf with dire conditions for a large chunk of their population that primarily consist of ethnic outgroups.
You could definetely argue that some of the gulf states fall into apartheid as well, i choose the title to make fun of the "only democracy in the middle east" bs
Not to like defend the awful practices of Gulf monarchies that literally practice slave labour, but at least in the Gulf once you're a "citizen" (which at this point in places like the UAE is 10% of the population) you're good to go. In Israel, even if you're "Israeli" if you're not Jewish you are vastly discriminated against, can't marry people of other faiths, have to have difference license plates, etc. The Gulf is at least more up front about their apartheid type deal.
They don't count trafficed people from the global south that they bring in for slave labor.
Well, I do
Who do you think you are, a normal person with a soul or something?
