the same in minorities when they read the word of the national anthem of israel, it speaks about the israel, it speaks about thejewish nation. when they offer their passport or id cards, they will seek a jewish symbol. they live in a jewish nation, they know that, but in this jewish nation they have full rights, elected to the knesset, they will sit in our supreme court, they will get the same education as my children get in israel. that is the meaning of equality but it is equality in a jewish nation. yes, israel is the homeland of thejewish people and it can be a jewish nation and democracy. some people want to change the character of israel as a jewish nation, but for us, since 1948, jewish nation, but for us, since 19118, we decided that israel will be ajewish democracy. 19118, we decided that israel will be a jewish democracy. a final point, we don't have much time. it strikes me in your three years or so in the un, yapping very quick to accuse many critics of israel of being racist. you said it about the motivations of the un humans rights chief, you have said it about other cr
