Voters in the largest city in America are choosing a Democratic nominee for mayor via ranked-choice voting. The crowded field is led by former governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned from the state’s top office four years ago following sexual harassment allegations; state Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, who snagged key endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York); Comptroller Brad Lander, who made headlines when he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an immigration hearing last week; and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.
This is a ranked-choice primary – only first-choice votes will be tabulated on election night. Final vote calculations will be released July 1 and updated weekly until all ballots are counted. Republican Curtis Sliwa is uncontested in his primary.
Palestinians in the West Bank literally live under military occupation, are not protected by Israeli law, and are tried at Israeli military courts. And Arab Israelis are still broadly discriminated against in an Apartheid system that's internationally recognized as such. Just one example: Jewish neighborhoods are required to be built with bomb shelters, while Arab neighborhoods have no such requirement and it must be requested for a shelter to be built; in practice, they are almost never built. That's why casualties from rocket attacks on Israel are disproportionately Arab Israelis. And that's the situation for Arab Israeli citizens!
Very strange twisting of the words where Israel claims the land but the people who actually live there aren't included in the "people-having-rights" quota. I wonder why you're defining it like that. Hmmmmmm. Slaves weren't considered citizens, so the US constitution never lied about equal rights, either, I guess. "I'm not touching you".
Someone should tell Israel.

That does not at all contradict what I said or what I linked. Explain.
The Palestinian Authority is not sovereign, they are under Israeli Occupation. What good are rights and citizenship from the PA if you still get detained by IDF soldiers at IDF checkpoints and tried at Israeli military courts?
Al Jazeera source about Jewish Israeli citizens excluding Arabs from shelters. There was also a source on Hexbear last week explaining how new developments for Arab Israelis almost never get bomb shelters built, but I can't find it now. Either way, are Arabic people just more prone to getting hit by missiles? What else could explain it.
Are you really trying to downplay a system that's recognized internationally by pretty much everyone except the US as apartheid as simply ragebait? Listen to yourself! Bring the hasbara to reddit or lemmy.world, not a place where people are prepared to show how false it is.
You can just read the article I linked, unless you want to claim Al Jazeera fabricated multiple testimonies.
Why should someone reading this thread trust you - an account that only posts to start arguments over minutiae - claiming that the phenomenon of Arab Israelis being left out to die outside of Israeli bomb shelters when you say it's made up, over Al Jazeera, who has multiple testimonies from people who experienced it? Why shouldn't a bystander just immediately identify you as a charlatan?
It is when the rights in question are constantly trampled over by the fascist state of Israel. You're doing the old the card says moops.
