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.
Yes. They have now. They were still a liberal democracy before that though. Racism and discrimination is, despite the claims of the ideology, materially part of liberal 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.
Or America. Y’know, the whole “civil rights” thing.
which they have now.
and even then it is backsliding.
