The exclusion of Arab parties reveals that Israel is only a democracy for its Jewish citizens.

The article discusses the marginalization of Arab citizens in Israel's democracy, highlighting their limited political representation and the challenges they face. Despite recent electoral gains, Arab parties remain politically sidelined, and collaboration with Jewish parties is taboo. The author argues that without inclusive politics, Israel's democracy is primarily for Jewish citizens. The potential for change lies in Arab-Jewish coalitions, which could address issues like security and equality, but current political dynamics favor continued marginalization and occupation policies. International pressure on Israel is deemed necessary to promote a more inclusive approach.
