Yep, very clear demonstration of the fact that Israel is an apartheid state, given that it is indeed run by Jewish people despite the fact that Jewish people are a minority of the people living there.
Maybe if you only count citizens, but there's a large oppressed population called Palestinians, maybe you've heard of them?

Add 5.9 million Palestinian refugees to that list as well. The Zionist settlers are a minority in Palestine.
So in other words, one has to exclude significant, heavily populated areas that are being governed by the state of Israel in order to claim that it's a democracy. It is deeply unclear why one would want to do so, though, given that the same government has given its full endorsement to settlers moving into these same areas, and has given absolutely no indication (in recent decades, at least) of ever intending to vacate these territories.
