19 May 2021 Israel’s opponents return to the same talking points in every war, notably the claim that Israel is an “apartheid” state. The accusation is absurd. Just this week, a black Israeli named Eden Alene qualified for the Eurovision song contest with a song including lyrics in Arabic, as well as Hebrew and English. And until the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas, fired rockets at Israeli civilians — both Jewish and Arab — an Islamist Arab political party was about to join an Israeli governing coalition. Israel’s Declaration of Independence provides “full and equal citizenship” to Arabs, as well as “due representation” for Arab citizens in all “provisional and permanent institutions.”
