If Israel is to be a true Democracy, we need to take off the kid gloves with her??

Question

Enough of this 'hush hush', 'anti-semite' jargon. Only a truly open(and to criticism) society can be a democracy. Do you agree?

Answer 1

In what kind of democratic countries people gain citizinship by their religion? In what kid of civilized countries decisions are made to use heavy weapons against civilians? And how would an occupation country look in a democratic shape? Arabs live under depression but at least they understand that what they live in is not freedom. Rather, without the help of the masonic structure no Arab leader would be safe from revolutionary acts. However, in true Islam that was established more than 1700 years ago jews and christians were given the rit to practise teir reliion.Muslims even accepted te exisitance of jews in te core of teir capital until tey plotted wit te clay worsippers. With the blind unconditional support of America,Israel has become a well developed country in many aspects. For exmple, israel is said to be te fifth biggest power in the world. Moreover, Israel is the first small country that has nearly 200 nuclear bombs.However, no one would expect this support to stop because its not even within the capability of the American president to do so since the USA is controlled by a bunch of jews who determine who rules and who is to be said to be antisemitic.

Answer 2

particular a non Jew can grow to be top Minister or the President of Israel. There are Arabs in place of work elected from districts on the whole Arab in Israel, and absolutely everyone can run for any place of work, with the only exception of a few not being a spiritual chief. however the possibilities of it happening is a million in a hundreds of thousands, because of the fact each and every of the folk choose them, with an infinite majority Jewish. Messianic Jews are actually allowed to immigrate too as computerized voters; approximately why i've got faith this: i like God heart and soul and others as i like myself. my life is happy and finished of exhilaration, in the Messiah Jesus spectacular grace. have faith the Scriptures Leviticus 17:11 "The life of the flesh is in the blood and that i've got given it to make atonement on your souls." Isaiah fifty two:13-fifty 3:12 information that Jesus is the Messiah, "he would be exaulted yet first he would be rejected and could lay down his life to make atonement for our sins." Shalom and acceptable in the elections too. David for democracy

Answer 3

How touching. You are seriously concerned about Israel being a "true democracy" not that you have any clue what that is.
If you really want Israel to remain a "true democracy" then can we therefore conclude that you also want Israel to exist and be secure? After all, its hard to be a democracy or anything else for that matter if you do not have those conditions.
Thus, can I conclude that you support Israel's campaign against terrorist targets?

Answer 4

Clearly you and I are living on different planets.

All I ever hear is condemnation of Israel. Nothing she does is ever right. And often this is from people who refuse to say one bad word about the far worse things done by Arab nations, and by Islamic terrorists FUNDED by Arab nations such as Iran and Syria.

Israel is the MOST criticised country in the world. Again, often I hear people criticising her but they don't even have the basic facts right!!!

Criticising Israel is NOT anti semitism, I agree.

But ONLY criticising Israel, when she is no worse and a lot better than many other countries, is bloody unfair!

I lived and worked in several Middle Eastern countries for seven years. Believe me when I tell you that there is a good reason why no Arab nation lets Western news cameras in to report on what goes on there.

Israel, meanwhile, gives total access to news teams, even in areas such as Gaza and the West Bank. This says a lot.

As for your remark about an 'open' society - surely you know that Israel is the only democracy in the entire region? People of all faiths are free to worship how they want, and men and women are totally equal. Israeli Arabs sit in parliament, for crying out loud!

Show me ONE Muslim country that can claim the same.

Answer 5

If Israel is to be a true Democracy, should not the USA become one first?

Answer 6

From: http://world.mediamonitors.net/about_mmn/about_mmn

Accountability and our nation’s credibility require that Israel be forced to comply with international law, especially if the United States continues to press its case against Iraq.

During the period between 1967 and 2000, Iraq was the subject of 69 Security Council resolutions. By comparison, Israel, our closest "ally" in the Middle East, has been the subject of 138 resolutions. Not surprisingly, most of those resolutions call upon Israel to comply with basic principles of international law embodied by the UN Charter. Many of them condemn actions taken by Israel and call upon Israel on more than one occasion to comply with previous resolutions that Israel ignored and continues to ignore to this day.

On June, 14, 1967, through Resolution No. 237, the Security Council called upon Israel to "ensure the safety, welfare and security of the inhabitants, facilitate the return of those inhabitants who have fled the areas since the outbreak of the hostilities and recommends the scrupulous respect of the humanitarian principles contained in the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949." In subsequent resolutions, the Security Council deplored Israel for the delay in its implementation of Resolution 237. Yet, Israel continued to defy the world community, including the United States. The Security Council, in the face of Israel's defiance, passed no less than five subsequent resolutions demanding that Israel comply but to this day, thirty five years after June 14, 1967, the defiance continues.

On March 22, 1979, the Security Council adopted Resolution No. 446. Israel’s violation of Resolution 446 (sections quoted below) represents the most flagrant violation of Israel, not only of the UN but also the stated policy of our government under successive administrations:

(The Council) Determines that the policy and practices of Israel in establishing settlements in the Palestinian and Arab territories occupied since 1967 have no legal validity and constitute a serious obstruction to achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East; Calls once more upon Israel, as the occupying power, to abide scrupulously by the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, to rescind it’s previous measures and to desist from taking any action which would result in changing the legal status and geographical nature and materially affecting the demographic composition of the Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem, and in particular, not to transfer parts of its own civilian population into the occupied Arab territories.

Answer 7

I agree, why does everyone stick up for Israel like it's some kind of little kid? It's a country with people and a government, so that means it should have all the problems every other country does.

Answer 8

No. The middle east if full of totally unreasonable critics. Let Israel alone and look after things in your own country, which need improvement.

Answer 9

I agree with only one thing at this time. You ought to be ashamed of your intolerance toward Israel, however, I must take this back. I am intolerant toward Southern KKK members like yourself.

Answer 10

Israel IS a true democracy; a true parliamentary democracy. That is more democratic than we are in the U.S.
Also they need no blessing or approval from us to continue to be the democracy they are.
What is your point?
