This is the problem.

And that needs to be resolved.

But within Israel proper, there are 21% of Israeli citizens who are Arabs.

They do have the right to vote.

They do have equal rights under the law.

In most cases, there is a lot wrong with Israeli democracy, much as there was a lot wrong with American democracy over our 250 years that

It means that certain minority populations here have been fighting for their rights for the entirety of the existence of our country.

And that fight will continue in Israel.

But the state of Israel should treat all of its citizens, including the Palestinian citizens of Israel, 100 percent equally under the law.

I would argue that the state of Israel should never use the word Jewish as the adjective defining the word state.

Jewish, for me, is a peoplehood.

There are 25% of Jews who practice no religion.

They are culturally and ethnically Jewish and have traditional families that they draw on with Jewish background, but they're not religiously Jewish.

When Israel is called a Jewish state, it implies no separation between religion and state.

And that's one of the biggest problems that Jewish Israelis feel about their own state.

They want a constitution.

One of the things a new government may really try to do for the first time in 78 years is actually write a constitution that would cement that everybody who is a citizen of Israel would have equal rights, regardless of their religion, race, gender, et cetera.

But there needs to be a state of Palestine where the

Palestinian people have the exact same right to create a state that is the national homeland of the Palestinian people.

And we're all Palestinians all over the world.
