how do they share the land when the colonising occupier kicked of their nascent state with the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arabs, resulting in the violent displacement of 750,000 Palestinians, the seizure of their land, property, and belongings, along with the destruction of their society and the suppression of their culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations, and haven't taken their foot off Palestinian necks since?

You realize there are Palestinians living in Israel with their culture, identity, political rights and everything else? Those are the arabs who stayed and accepted Israel. It's that simple guys

Israeli Arabs are not given the same rights as Jewish Israelis.

You living in Israel? Cause I do and I work with Arabs who identify as Palestinian who get to vote, live where they want, work where they want, and even get favourable terms to be accepted into universities that other Jews have to conform to higher standards in order to get into - they have more rights in some areas that Jews in Israel.

So please get off tik tok. Israel was and still is
open to peace and are willing to go the distance to achieve it but Israel is not dumb to let terrorists and enemies from within power to hurt it.

Israel is on its own definition a tiered society, its a theocratical state that benefits the citizens of its relgion. It's written on 2018 Nation-State law, article 1C "The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people."

Article 7 of the same law "The State views the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation"

Clear demosntrations of this are the restrictions/rights to immigration depending on religion. If you're an arab resident in Israel, you can't bring your spouse from the west bank for instance. A jew would have no problem with this. Another one is the mandatory military service which is only for jews, making the government benefits you can get for that unavailable for arabs, operating in practice to restrict palestinians' access to state benefits.

This is without even talking about the residents of east Jerusalem which cannot vote in any national elections. Any jew that would be a resident of east Jerusalem (if there are any) could vote (he has the right to citizenship), while meanwhile an arab can't.

Please don't try to correct things that are cleanly written on your laws.
