I prefer being given religious reasons for why Israel gets to occupy the Palestinians, it’s a bit less gross than hearing Israel defended on the basis of it being a democracy.  Because really, if you’re a Palestinian being oppressed and occupied it doesn’t matter whether it’s being done by a democracy, a military junta or a dictatorship–it’s all the same. Decades of Israeli democracy never brought an end to the land theft, war crimes, illegal detentions, collective punishment, starvation or extra-judicial assassinations.
