The point of the LGBT+ thing was pointing out that the definition of “democracy” the Economist uses, doesn’t include civil rights (tho if you want to start comparing the treatment of LGBTQ+ people Israel isn’t even the best in the M.east).
as for 18.7% being a considerable amount of people, thus can’t be apartheid state is a massive nothingburger seeing as we have seen genocides happen to larger groups.
