@cstross “as long as he doesn't succeed in turning Israel into a permanent fascist dictatorship.” - for Jewish Israelis?
Because territory controlled by Israel is already a permanent fascist dictatorship for people living in them who are not Jewish.
Some form of resource- and power sharing will be needed to make the place safe for everyone there. Until then, even removing N’hu only relieves pressure, I think.

Israel is weirder than that. Israeli Arabs with blue ID card can buy an apartment in any city. They don't have to serve in the military (unlike Jewish atheist), they vote, have freedom of movement, religion, etc

But the police will harass them, if they buy an apartment in a Jewish city they won't have school in Arabic for their children, and there is a decreasing chance that the police will help them if someone Jewish decides to randomly spit on them in the street.

Functionally, with the de facto exclusion of Palestinian citizens of Israel from the government and such legislation as the Nationality Law, it is pretty solidly a Jewish supremacist apartheid, with a recent history of land grabs and dispossession.

I omitted 126 years of nuance because they didn’t fit in the margins.
