    Israel is a democracy ranked by the Economist to be more democratic than the US. All Israeli citizens have the same rights even the Israeli muslim citizens. In contrast every other country in the region discriminates against jews. Most do not let jews enter the country and have a history of previously expulsing jews. This is literally the definition of being a nazi state.

      Ah yes that’s why Israel is now putting all those “citizens” in prison, raiding their homes at night, allowing settlers to hurt them, allowing politicians in the Knesset to say racist things to them. Totes a democracy ROFL

      These countries have no problems with Jewish people. They don’t allow Israeli’s to enter.

        No of your points can be proven, while it is easy to prove Israel is a democracy where all citizens have the same rights and all human rights inside her borders are granted.

        For example religious freedom (all religions can be practiced in Israel, in contrast to many neighboring states where Islam is the only religion) or the freedom of assembly such as the recent mass protest against the government in Israel

        The pro terrorist and false statements here sure seem prevalent. Have a downvote.

            I have two points and they’re easily proven and well documented. Israel is a fascist apartheid state.

            Ahh yes, “Netanyahu is the supreme leader” and the IDF militant trope. You failed to acknowledge the other point made by another commenter that religious freedom in Israel is far greater than any of its neighbors. You also fail to mention that Arabs who aren’t violent enjoy the same rights and freedoms as other citizens. There’s also the internal Israeli unrest about the intelligence failures that allowed the Oct 7th Hamas attack.

            I’m still siding with Israel in the extermination of Hamas, and the rest of the world can wring their hands all they want. Pro terrorism interference should not deter Israel from doing what they need to do, and that’s finish off Hamas.

              That’s great for those that feel like they want to trade their sovereignty and nationality to a foreign power that’s slowly eradicating your people…

      Ranked higher than a country where many believe there to only be one valid party and that if the other party gains power that the entire democratic system will collapse and bring Armageddon?

      That’s who you’re comparing against?

        The Economist also ranks Israel higher than Italy, India, Belgium, Poland or Croatia. Israel is top 29 in the democracy index.

      I can understand why they are probably afraid of being colonized and taken over.
