    “liberal democracy just like your own”

    in no shape or form is Israel a democracy.

    the head of state is above the supreme court, half the population in the territory they claim (Google Israel map in Hebrew), and is currently conducting a literal holocaust.

    It’s not and never was a democracy.

      If you think that’s bad, you should see the UK in 1943. Or France in 1930. Or the US in 1850. Or the Netherlands in 1947. Or ancient Athens in 420 BCE.

      Democracies have regularly committed genocide of non-citizen subjects who made up a majority of the territory they claim.
