Israel is a democracy ranked by the Economist to be more democratic than the US. All Israeli citizens have the same rights even the Israeli muslim citizens. In contrast every other country in the region discriminates against jews. Most do not let jews enter the country and have a history of previously expulsing jews. This is literally the definition of being a nazi state.
Ah yes that's why Israel is now putting all those "citizens" in prison, raiding their homes at night, allowing settlers to hurt them, allowing politicians in the Knesset to say racist things to them. Totes a democracy ROFL
These countries have no problems with Jewish people. They don't allow Israeli's to enter.
No no no, the settlers and whatever shit the IDF pulls to help them happens outside Israel so it doesn't count /s
Palestinians of the Westbank Gaza are not Israeli citizens because these are not Israeli territories of the UN partition plan of 1947. Why should the descendants of these people now be Israeli citizens?
Ah, that makes it fine then!
Thank you for agreeing
That was sarcasm.
Israel is a fascist apartheid state.
No of your points can be proven, while it is easy to prove Israel is a democracy where all citizens have the same rights and all human rights inside her borders are granted.
For example religious freedom (all religions can be practiced in Israel, in contrast to many neighboring states where Islam is the only religion) or the freedom of assembly such as the recent mass protest against the government in Israel
I have two points and they're easily proven and well documented.
The pro terrorist and false statements here sure seem prevalent. Have a downvote.
Funny because my statements were neither. Educated yourself and stop being an ignoramus.
Ranked higher than a country where many believe there to only be one valid party and that if the other party gains power that the entire democratic system will collapse and bring Armageddon?
That's who you're comparing against?
The Economist also ranks Israel higher than Italy, India, Belgium, Poland or Croatia. Israel is top 29 in the democracy index.
India, the country best known for being notoriously corrupt to the point where it's very noticeably hindering progress?
Yes and compared to Israel India is much less democratic.
Netanyahu has been a prime minister since 2009. He’s a de-facto dictator.
So basically what you are saying is that the government represents the people and therefore most Israelis agree to commit genocide?
no, maybe that The Economist is not reliable or does not shit about democracy.
This is a theological regime first. Omitting this is hypocrisy
Israel is never going to commit genocide and you now it
Textbook case of genocide, say’s Holocaust scholar.
Then what's happening in the West Bank? Because currently one example of it starts with p and ends with ogroms.
I can understand why they are probably afraid of being colonized and taken over.
Can’t be bullied if you become the bully.
