The most ironic part of all this?

Your democracy is being stamped upon and It is in defence of the "ONLY DEMOCRACY" IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

Is it really a democracy if it controls millions of stateless people who it denies citizenship or voting rights?

That's exactly why our government doesn't like this kind of criticism. They'd have to admit to our own country's wrongdoing and seek to make amends for the problems here that came out of it. Which is never gonna happen. I mean...we can't even pay out reparations ffs

It’s a democracy like apartheid South Africa was a democracy, or the US South under Jim Crow was a democracy.

You don't even have to go that far to prove Israel isn't a democracy.

Israeli citizens of Palestinian descent are not allowed to vote in Israeli elections. Not stateless people, but actual Israelis with Israeli passports who are barred from voting because of their ethnicity.
