‘Renowned philosopher’ says Jews invented democracy (OK, but what about hummus?)

More proof that the occupation has made some intellectuals stupid and their ethnocentrism visible and risible to all, Bernard Henri Levy in Ynet:

 "I’ve covered many wars, and I’ve never seen an army that asks itself so many questions related to morals."

As for Israel’s status in the international community, the French philosopher said, "There is a demonization campaign against Israel all over the world.

"In a region where dictatorships and truly fascist regimes rule, Israel represents an island of democracy…

The renowned philosopher also said democracy was a Jewish idea. "The Talmud is democracy in practice. The Jewish nation invented the notion that the truth lies in the most heated argument"

By the way, Islamists make identical arguments to BHL. Identical. Democracy comes from Islam. Islam is democracy in action.
