This paragraph cannot be repeated often enough:
"But is Israel really a democracy? It is for its Jewish citizens, who enjoy constitutional freedoms Arab regimes suppress. But for the Palestinians it is not - a fact most aptly, and topically, personified by this self-same Sharansky, a hero of freedom in the White House, but an expansionist zealot at home.
The Israel that Palestinians know is the one that, in Mandatory Palestine, sabotaged all British attempts to install representative government until the Jewish minority was strong enough to impose its will on the Palestinian majority by force; the Israel that drove most of them out in 1948; the one that oppressed, in what amounted to apartheid in all but name, Palestinians who stayed behind, and then extended this system, in other forms, to the West Bank and Gaza after 1967."
If Isra'El wanted to be a democracy, the Zionists would have insisted on a vote amongst the Palestinian people as to whether or not they wanted their land partitioned for a "Jewish" state.
Anyone who has looked into the machinations of the European terrorists, aka Zionists, know that they no such idea in their heads. Shoot first, spin the tales later was their motto.
