Thank you very much for your comment. ...Hello TT, <br /><br />Thank you very much for your comment. It gives me an opportunity to clarify: To be exact, one would have to say that the disputed territories (Yehuda and the Shomron -- Judea and Samaria) are under military rule and therefore are not democratic, as you've stated. The rest of Israel is a democracy, but more British-style. It was more socialist in earlier days, so most Israelis don't really know what democracy is, so are more easily pushed around by the elites who say, "if you don't agree with us you're undermining democracy." You and I know better than that.<br /><br />These parts of Israel are disputed only because the Jewish elites here allow them to be. In the immediate aftermath of the 6-Day War, if we had done the right thing and treated them (and, of course, the Temple Mount -- Har haBayit) like the rest of Israel, there would be no conflict over them today. It's not so much that the land isn't ours, but that we (except for the Jews who live there) haven't fought tooth and nail to keep it.<br /><br />Which brings me to my last question, for now: What is more important for Jews, living under a gentile-style democracy or under Jewish law?<br /><br />If you look closely, you can see that America is falling apart. The rights of the majority are being violated in the name of democracy, for the sake of a very small minority over the issue of gender identity; yet, people don't dare oppose it due to the penalties involved (external reasons) and due to self-censure (internal reasons) imposed by the politically correct atmosphere. I don't think we'll have to wait long before evil heterosexuals will start taking advantage of this to claim they've changed GI this morning to get access to the opposite gender facilities for whatever evil reason. <br /><br />Do we really want to walk down that road here in Israel? And that's just one aspect. Alexander Maistrovoy expresses America's problem (and that of other democracies) very well <a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/18299#.V0QOCb7krVt" rel="nofollow">here.</a>HDG, Yerushalayim, E"Y Shlemahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943174572566458612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706868407157129107.post-60842676567511777182016-05-24T10:55:12.193+03:002016-05-24T10:55:12.193+03:00CDG,

maybe ...maybe israel isn't actually a democracy<br />maybe it's a military state that lacks back civil rights<br />where military commanders decide who is guilty and who is innocent<br />and who they will punish and how<br /><br />you don't get to do that and call yourself a democracy even if you are jewish<br /><br />TTnoreply@blogger.com
