Why are the majority who are not Jews not allowed to vote, didn't Hitler practice that too?

yogt, Your bias has made your heart cold and your eyes blind to the plight of humans in this case the Palestinians. Have you been brought up in a refugee camp in your own land? You should open your mind and melt that frostbite you have in your heart or is it already too late..

You are not forced to answer my question so if you feel you cannot be honest to do so, crawl back to where you belong as there are others who aren't as blind or as evil as your beliefs, smarty pants. Do you compromise your dignity as a human just to get points ?

I don’t get your question- the things you wrote are practically untrue.
The majority of Israel is Jewish, about 76%.
20% of the Israeli population is Arab (Christian Arabs and Muslim Arabs).
Every citizen of the country is allowed and encouraged to vote and be elected.
There are two Arab parties in the current Knesset (Israeli parliament) and 11 Arab Knesset members.
The Palestinian people are not citizens of Israel, if that what you were suggesting, thus they don't have the right to vote. The Palestinians are ruled by PLO and vote to it.
This valid information is found anywhere on the Internet and any simple research can easily answer your question.

My "cold heart" and "blind eyes" have nothing to do with the fact that your statements are simply FALSE.
Do you honestly believe that by repeating this nonsense over and over again it will come true? Do you think that by calling me evil and blind your (false) argumentations will be more valid?
How can you expect to be taken seriously if you have absolutely NO IDEA what you're talking about? Do you even know where Israel is?

i think that the best comparison would be the old Yugoslavia as it broke up. like the Serbian government, the Israeli government is using the illegal settlers, its citizens to ethnically cleanse certain areas of the west bank of Palestinians. this is so that the desired areas of the west bank can be incorporated into the state of Israel without too many fast breeding Arabs. this also includes the denial of any rights under the law and even denial of access to water. their crops are continually destroyed and their land can be summarily seized by both the state and the illegal settlers with no recourse to law. if Israel truly wants to be regarded as a democracy it must allow the Palestinians in the areas of the west bank it intends to keep, full citizenship, security of their property rights, not demanding non-existent deeds before recognising it, and full equality under the law. i do not deny Israel the right to exist. but what Israel must come to understand is that it must come to a just and fair settlement with the Palestinians as big brother may not always be there to look out for them. and times are changing, one day Israel may be facing well armed, well trained,motivated, angry and disgruntled neighbours, not the amateurish clowns it has fought in the past. it must build up a store of good will in the area now before it's too late.

Yes, Israel practices Apartheid. Racial discrimination is can be found in Israeli laws, regulations, practices, and throughout public life. (Read the Talmud if you want to find out what Jews really think of non-Jews.) Non-Jews can vote, but that doesn't mean Israel is not an Apartheid state.
Many Palestinians who have been ejected from their homelands by Jews are now destitute and living in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israeli occupied territories. The only reason Israel has to prevent these people from returning to their homelands and receiving equal treatment under Israeli laws is that they are not Jews.
Those living in Israeli occupied territories suffer blatant discrimination and brutal military treatment. However, Jews can settle in the Palestinian's areas (though Palestinians cannot settle in Jewish areas) and are given full civil and political rights while non-Jews aren't. In addition to many other privileges, only Jews are allowed to have firearms in the settlement ares, which they use to terrorise the Palestinians.
92% of Israel within the Green Line is closed to Palestinians. Local authorities of Palestinian settlements lack funds. Palestinian schools are underfunded and understaffed (Jewish schools are not) and Palestinian children are taught their own history with a Zionist interpretation (which no doubt paints the Palestinians as bad guys). There are even separate roads for Jews and non-Jews, with the ones for Jews being nice and well-maintained and the ones for non-Jews being unsafe and in need of repair. Those who try to stand up for equal rights and an end to discrimination are harrassed by authorities.
Palestinians do not serve in any positions of power in Israeli government. It is illegal for Jews to marry non-Jews, and while intimate relations are allowed, it is looked at as something bordering on treason.

Actually Israel allows full rights to all of its citizens including the Arabs that are citizens. They have their own political parties and currently have a member of the Israeli cabinet. Your question is based on false logic that Israel doesn't allow its non-jewish citizens to vote which is a lie.

I dont think your statement is correct...non Jews have full citizenship rights as Israeli citizens...(thats why there are Arab members of the Knesset....Palestinians are not Israelis so they cant vote in Israel) so you're statement is misleading moreover your comparison is imflammatory and offensive.... Hitler did a lot more than just not allow people to vote ...
As for aPartheid policies..thats also not a fair comparison...you can read Jimmy Carters book on the topic but I dont think you are searching for an intellectually valid comparison if you are drawing false analogies to Hitler.

Only the jews get a say in Israel. To jews, non-jews are said to be sub-human. Sure they don't like to admit it amongst the masses, but it's what most of them think.

Israel is a commune country. They have kibbutz farms. The Jews created communism.

well this clearly is not a question but open propaganda on your own part.
I always find it funny when one side claims bias, but is completely blind to there own.
I would encourage you to read about both the Israeli and Palestinian sides to this issue.

They practice both.
It is democratic for a few, but apartheid does exist for those they consider 'undesirables'
