1. There's a lot of irony in your statement, since Jewish people were slaughtered and horribly mistreated in those other countries simply for being Jewish. So how have they not been ethno-states... or at least "anti-specific-ethno states"?

2. There are plenty of countries that are dominated by Islam, and yet their right to exist isn't generally questioned.

Yes, they used to be. That's usually how nations are born - around common ethnicity.

And that's the point, everyone else got criticized for it except for Israel, which has a bipartisan support (at least in America). And any critique of Israel being a Jewish state is somehow portrayed as a double standard against Jews. At the same time you can freely attack white, non-Jewish people on the basis of what European and American governments did without any fear of repercussions. Not saying that there should be repercussions, because I support free speech, just pointing this out.

The first part of your comment refers to Jews as ethnicity and the second as religion.

There are several Christian and Islamic countries but only one Jewish one.

Seems like you're changing the subject to talk about religion.

Can we assume you cede the point regarding ethnicity?

What do you think "Jewish" means then? You think being "Jewish" is an equivalent adjective to being "French"?

South Africa's Apartheid was condemned as human injustice, so should Israel's Apartheid, no?

That's sort of like asking in what way are African-Americans treated differently under US law. Sure, the law may appear to be equal for all legal members of society, but that doesn't mean in practice it works like that.

The settlement doctrine, removal of Arabic as an official language, and language specifically about Israel being Jewish that were passed in 2018 are also instances where the law actually does diverge for Arab citizens. [1]

There's a pretty decent breakdown of why Israel officially meets the international requirements to be considered an Apartheid state here as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MknerYjob0w

Law is a guideline. Not reality. Like American Freedom*.

Israel heavily disputed its responsibility to help with vaccination efforts of the same arabs of the territory it's annexing, so yeah, that's not great.

Israel offered its vaccines to the Palestinian Authority, and the PA refused them.
