        Unfortunately, countries with elections in which there is a legally binding demographic imbalance are still considered democracies.

        Which is why even Switzerland, which did not allow women to vote until 1971, was still considered a democracy.

      Israel is the aggressor too, violently colonizing and ethnically cleansing the local population. The Palestinians are just defending themselves against their own destruction. But it’s an unfair fight, because they only have small make-shift rockets against Israel with a big army and getting billions from the biggest empire in the world.

      The fact that Israel has a democracy is of no concern to the civilians in Gaza being bombed and starved to death. In fact, it makes it worse: Russians can’t vote out their government, but Israelis can.
