    Israel is not a democracy, except as a propaganda implement lol

    You are either the most gullible rube on the planet or pushing an agenda

        “my arbitrary numbers pulled from my ass say that my ethnostate is slightly more democratic than the people we’re actively exterminating with bombs and starvation, and have prevented from having a functioning society. You should support us as a result”

        Do you honestly think that’s remotely convincing lmao

            Sounds like your ass is in lockstep with the US state department

            Actual source: The Economist, a journal that speaks for British millionaires.

            The Economist also at one point argued that Confederate victory would result in abolition faster than a Union victory. But don’t worry they totally supported abolition they were just really worried that it wouldn’t get done fast enough.

                I don’t need some stats to point out that it’s an apartheid settler state. You were bringing up the stats to deflect from criticism. Having the trappings of votes and parliament doesn’t change the material reality.

          Palestinians have failed to build a functioning democracy for themselves. They aren’t even politically united under one banner since Hamas took power in Gaza. Palestinians can’t even make peace among themselves.

        I mean… The USA is far from democratic so it’s not as if it was a great example to follow?

          Israel has improved on that ranking, while the USA became worse.

          And sure, Israel isn’t a perfect democracy, but it is certainly one.
