I'm saying that democracy is a process and that results are something else entirely. Israel wants to stay predominantly Jewish which is like saying that Britain wants to stay predominantly white.

I think that Israel wants the right to practise Judaism, and to survive. Of course there is the possibility that they could invite more Christians to Israel and allow Muslims to immigrate only as long as the balance was 40% Muslim.

Your analogy is about democracy being a process is like saying that Utah which is mostly Mormon has the right to declare all other religions are illegal. Since it is a democratic process, and is in complete accordance with Muslim Practice, why couldn't Israel simply enshrine Judaism as law, appoint a military or religious governing council as Iran, and outlaw Islam. That would be the same democracy as iran.
