    What?!?

    You spent nearly 2 years insisting Ukrainian had a referendum to part ways with the USSR (ie. Ukrainian expressing their free will to be independent from USSR).

    Now, you are asserting it does not apply to Palestine??? Doesn't the people who lived in Palestine have a right to choose their own path?

    Or are you saying Ukrainian and Israelis have a right to choose self-determination, but Palestinian doesn't?

    Now, where have I read that?

    Oh yeah:

    Israel: Supreme Court Affirms Constitutionality of Basic Law: Israel – Nation State of the Jewish People



    On July 8, 2021, Israel’s Supreme Court, sitting as a High Court of Justice in an extended bench of 11 justices, rejected 15 joint petitions challenging the constitutionality ofBasic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish Peopleor specific provision in it. The petitioners included human rights organizations and “individuals belonging to different sectors in the Israeli society.” (HCJ 5555/18 Hason v. Knesset, main decision by Court President Esther Hayut with nine justices concurring and Justice George Karra dissenting.)When sitting as a High Court of Justice, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to adjudicate “matters which it deems necessary to grant relief for the sake of justice and which are not within the jurisdiction of a court or another tribunal.”

    The Knesset (Israel’s parliament) passed the Basic Law onJuly 19, 2018. The Basic Law recognizes that “the right to national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” (Basic Law § 1(c).) It enshrines principles already recognized in regular legislation that reflect the Jewish character of the state. These include the state symbols and emblem, the national anthem, Jerusalem as the state capital, Jewish immigration, holidays such as Memorial Day for the Fallen in Israel’s Wars, and the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day.

    Oh, if you struggle to understand the above: it states ONLY JEWS have a Unique Right to Self-Determination. That is as Apartheid as you are going to get.
