    please point me to where I denied past atrocities?

    just because Israel calls itself a democracy and pays US politicians to repeat that lie doesn’t make it true.

    Israel is not a democracy.

      Sorry, I though you wanted to be involved in this conversation, how silly of me to expect you to have read what you’re arguing about - the claim you’re defending is that they’re not a liberal democracy because they’re committing a genocide, even though liberal democracies do that. You’re not even claiming it’s not a democracy because people can’t vote, it’s just all the genocidal stuff. So, for you to claim that doesn’t make them a democracy, you have to deny all the times democracies have done that.

      Anyway, Israelis get to vote, that makes it as democratic as, say, America - it’s a democracy.

        my main claim was that half the population isn’t considered people due to ethnic divide.

        a democracy on the same level as Nazi Germany.
