#1 [T]he January 2006 Palestinian elections... in fact, are the only non ethno-religious elections in the entire Middle East to date. Contrary to popular Western myth, these elections once again proved that Israel is NOT the only democracy in the region.

That a mafia of religious sociopaths were the ones elected is besides the point...

#6 Israel on the other hand, is a democracy for Jews only, exactly like South Africas Apartheid democracy was for Whites only.

Excepting the part where Arabs, Druze, Muslims, Christians and pretty much anybody else gay or straight, ultra orthodox or secular can vote and form political parties.
