Israel is literally a parliamentary democracy. The “percentage of the populate” that cannot vote are people who are not Israeli citizens, primarily living in Gaza, West Bank, and East Jerusalem. There’s nothing controversial about this and it does not mean Israel isn’t a democracy. Gaza had elections until Hamas did away with them. West Bank has its own elections. East Jerusalem is typically considered part of the West Bank. This is a simplification due to disagreements over sovereignty, borders, etc. But it’s basically the facts that you claim are clear, and easily verifiable with a few searches.

Israel, contrary to generally agreed upon international law, considers East Jerusalem as a part of Israel. The autochtonous Palestinians living there are eligible for Israeli citizenship which would allow them to vote. However only a tiny fraction has gotten Israeli citizenship as that would legitimise the annexation.

This is absolutely true: there are hundreds of thousands of adults who live within Israeli territory under Israeli control, where Israeli law and order is applied, who are not allowed to vote, have no representation at all, and are regularly subject to lethal violence from Israeli citizens.

That’s not a democracy.
