Commies hate democracy and are bent on killing humanity.

The typically authoritarian right is the greatest threat to democracy everywhere.

Israel’s farcical elections and fictional democracy - Less than half of the Jews live in Israel and less than half of the people who live in Israel have the vote. They tend to be authoritarian which is undemocratic.

They have a mask of democracy but it is very thin.

So, Marxist duckwittery, why dont you tell us which Israeli citizens don't have the right to vote? Why do you hide behind a dishonest sleight of hand of 'people who live in Israel." Not everyone who lives in Australia has the vote, duckwit. Does that make Australia a fictional democracy? No.
All you Pally flag-shaggers are deeply dishonest and will lie without batting an eyelid. Dreadful.

Which part do you think is nonsense? That Israel is in the middle east, or that Israel is a democracy?

Oh? Where does Israel stand on your democracy index, FD?

FD?

Yes it is, as attested to by numerous human rights organisations and the United Nations.

Sorry to burst your bubble of delusion.

You are delusional Wagga. The UN has not declared Israel a wacist, apartheid ethno-supremacist state. Nor has it said Israel is not a democracy. It has not even said Israel is not in the middle east.

Do you think the US is a democracy?

Recent assessments by major international indices indicate that Israel has experienced significant democratic deterioration, with its status downgraded from a liberal democracy to an electoral democracy or flawed democracy. According to the 2024 Democracy Report by the V-Dem Institute, Israel lost its classification as a leading liberal democracy in 2023, placing it on par with countries like Poland and South Africa, with warnings that continued trends could lead to an electoral autocracy status similar to Hungary and Russia.

The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index for 2023 similarly classified Israel as a flawed democracy, ranking it 30th globally. Specific components showed notable weaknesses, particularly in civil liberties (scoring 5.59 out of 10, lower than Poland and Hungary) and governmental functioning (7.50 out of 10). This decline has been attributed to political instability, including five election campaigns in three and a half years, rising populism, and unprecedented public protests starting in early 2023, which some analysts argue contributed to a broader erosion of liberal democratic norms and checks and balances.

It's still 1000% more a democracy than the entire number of the surrounding Arab Islamic states. Jew hating DH

Oh? Where does Israel stand on your democracy index, FD?

7.8 & ranked 30th - & why wouldn't it be when it's always on the defensive against attacks by its neighbors?

Ranks higher than Singapore, Sth Korea, the US & Italy.
