Israel is the 51st state. This idea that Israel is a strong independent state that doesn’t need the empire is a joke, they’re wholly dependent on the US. When Reagan told Israel to back off of attacking the PLO in Lebanon, they did. Israel’s power comes from its untouchable status.
Okay, what? That’s doesn’t make it not a democracy. America is and was a Democracy and only white men land owners could vote for like a century. You don’t like its domestic policy so the entire field of political science is wrong, and it’s not a democracy? Wow you have such big brain.
Then say flawed democracy instead of trying to hold it up like some beacon of hope. It’s not. It’s a trash country run by trash people just like the United States.
Okay well in the entirety of the middle east it is the only country that governs by even a pretense of consent of the people. Every other state in the region is some form of authoritarian theocracy, not even close to democracy. Only the former has any hope of granting long term human rights.

And it gets that status because it’s the only democracy in the middleeast and surrounded by enemies.
“democracy”
Why are you putting in quotes? It’s uncontroversially defined as a “flawed democracy” by political science, same as the United States.
it’s not a democracy at all. it systematically disenfranchises the Palestinian people in its borders.

america is a racist oligarchy, too.
Also incorrect, by the science.
wrong
a democracy lets the demos rule. systematically excluding the demos from participation disqualifies you as a democracy. qed.

none of those states are legitimate, including Israel.
