I'm not sure I follow your argument. Arab Israelis are suffered to exist as a minority, but Israel excludes the majority of Arabs in historic Palestine from entry into the territory from which they were expelled, and it does this because Israel wants to maintain a majority ethnically Jewish population, and is unwilling to construct a civic patriotism based on equal rights and citizenship, as opposed to a patriotism in which national identity is built around ethnicity and in which the state advances the interests of one ethnic group over others. That makes Israel an ethnonationalist state.![]() |
