Yes Israel is a democratic government were as Nazi Germany was a totalitarian state.

Well now they call in police, they didn't 20 to 30 years ago, but a lot of things were different back then.
Move on
Hahaha yes the voting seems to do a lot seeming they head the same direction no matter what politician leads them. While Jews in Israel may have a bit more say the people they oppress do not, much like in Nazi Germany.
Most fairy tales do not have happy endings, in fact they are often based on horrible real life things.
The church hardly ever hands pedos over to the cops.
Jews were stripped of voting rights in Nazi Germany and then later stripped of the same rights as non-Jew Germans in every walk of life.
In Israel -
According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, the Arab population in 2010 was estimated at 1,573,000, representing 20.4% of the country's population.
The majority of these identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and Israeli by citizenship.
Many have family ties to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. Negev Bedouins tend to identify more as Israelis than other Arab citizens of Israel.
Most of the Arabs living in East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967, were offered Israeli citizenship, but refused, not wanting to recognize Israeli sovereignty.
They became permanent residents.
They are entitled to municipal services and have municipal voting rights
There are three mainstream Arab parties in Israel: Hadash (a joint Arab-Jewish party with a large Arab presence), Balad, and the United Arab List, which is a coalition of several different political organizations including the Islamic Movement in Israel. In addition to these, there is Ta'al.
All of these parties primarily represent Arab-Israeli and Palestinian interests, and the Islamic Movement is an Islamist organization with two factions: one which opposes Israel's existence, and another which opposes its existence as a Jewish state. Two Arab parties ran in Israel's first election in 1949, with one, the Democratic List of Nazareth, winning two seats.
Until the 1960s all Arab parties in the Knesset were aligned with Mapai, the ruling party.
A minority of Arabs join and vote for Zionist parties; in the 2006 elections 30% of the Arab vote went to such parties, up from 25% in 2003, though down on the 1999 (30.5%) and 1996 elections (33.4%).
Left-wing parties (i.e. Labor Party and Meretz-Yachad, and previously One Nation) are the most popular parties amongst Arabs, though some Druze have also voted for right-wing parties such as Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu, as well as the centrist Kadima
Arab Israelis enjoy full voting rights for Knesset elections alongside other non-Arab citizens.
