Is Israel more free and democratic?

Woody, would you mind clarifying this? Are you claiming to have repeatedly disproven my claim that:

"Arab Muslims living in Israel today have more rights and freedoms, and more say in the governance of the country, than in any other middle eastern or north african country"

...despite being unable to cite a single middle eastern or north african country that grants it citizens more rights and more say in government?

And yet Arab Muslims living in Israel today have more rights and freedoms, and more say in the governance of the country, than in any other middle eastern or north african country.

Even if that were true, and it isn't, as I've repeatedly shown, how would it justify the existence of dozens and dozens of racist laws which discriminate against Arab citizens of Israel, in all walks of life?


I must have missed that.


You mean you ignored it.


I probably ignored it because I could not make sense of your gibberish.

Would you mind reminding me, and all of us, which middle eastern or north african country you think grants it citizens more rights and freedoms, and more say in governance, than Israel?


I don't write gibberish - I state facts.

But everyone here knows it's facts you ignore when it comes to Israel.

Not my fight. Google search's ai response

It's difficult to definitively say which Middle Eastern or North African country grants its citizens more rights than Israel without a precise definition of "rights." However, some countries in the region, like Tunisia and Iraq, are ranked as having higher democracy scores, suggesting broader freedoms for citizens compared to some other nations. The Economist Group's Democracy Index rates Israel as a "flawed democracy," while the U.S. Department of State (.gov) reports that Israel provides for full social and political equality regardless of religious affiliation.

It's important to note that the concept of rights can be complex and encompass various aspects, including political, social, and economic freedoms. While Israel has made strides in some areas, its history and ongoing conflicts with Palestine, particularly in the occupied territories, have led to criticisms regarding the rights of Palestinians. In contrast, countries like Tunisia have faced internal challenges and societal issues, while Iraq has been grappling with the impacts of conflict and its ongoing transition.

Therefore, while some nations might score higher in democracy indices, the extent to which citizens truly experience these rights and liberties can vary greatly depending on the specific context and the individual's circumstances.
