Israel isn't a homogenous country. It is majority jewish, but there are large minorities of Arabs, Druze, levant Christians, etc. These minorities--just under 30% of the population--hold full citizenship and have the same civil rights as any other Israeli.

Zionism is a desire to have a majority-jewish state that is strong enough to protect jews from future pogroms. It is not a quest for a homogenous state.

Yes, and surely these minorities are not treated like second class citizens? What's that? "A 2018 report by the Israeli State Comptroller on the protection of non-Jewish civilians found that 46% of Arab citizens in Israel lack access to adequate shelters, compared to 26% of the general population" In the context of bomb shelters.

Because individual municipalities are the ones who build the bomb shelters, and the Arab municipalities put no effort in that direction.

And before you declare that the existence of Arab municipalities make Israel an apartheid state, all Israeli cities are mixed.

If all Israeli cities are mixed, then what is an Arab municipality? What point exactly are you trying to make?

Arab villages. Villages that start off with Arab inhabitants do not allow Jews to rent or buy property there. It's not a problem. But it makes these villages Arab only.

Likewise, there are Jewish villages. Few of these have Arab inhabitants, but it is not forbidden for them to move in.
