So "democracy" doesn't trump all other considerations. If a democracy votes to commit genocide on a neighbor, that doesn't make genocide right.

Well they don't vote on it, so we don't know, but I think if Arabs were allowed to vote on 1)status quo, 2)removal of Israel from the region, and 3)extermination of all Jewish people worldwide, they would vote for 2.

That's not genocide, that's remaking the political landscape.

Actually, it's interesting that you say Barak let 150k Palestinian refugees become Israeli citizens. Do you know how they were chosen? And if the Arabs supposedly hate Israel so much, why did these refugees accept the offer? Presumably they are now good Israelis, not underground terrorist spies.
