Israel defines itself not as a state of its citizens, but as a Jewish state, despite the substantial and increasing Palestinian population. White demonstrates how the consistent emphasis on privileging one ethno-religious group over another cannot be seen as compatible with democratic values and that, unless addressed, will undermine any attempts to find a lasting peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndividual case studies are used to complement this deeply informed study into the great, unspoken contradiction of Israeli democracy.
