Nice.


56 Muslim countries in the world, 22 Arab states (many of which wealthy beyond imagination)

And we end up flooded with a 3rd world religion and culture which is demonstrably incompatible with liberal democracies.

Kuwait owe us, considering Iraq invaded them.

Didn't Bibi's cabinet approve of a Bill asserting Israel as a home state for Jews and potentially giving every Jew, around the world, the "right to return".

Does that extend to Palestinians?

when you say Palestinians, do you mean non Israeli citizienships fr the neighbouring country of Palestine?

Israel is a liberal democracy. It's a democracy that advocates liberal progressive policies.

The current Palestinian refugees in neighboring Jordan, Syria and other countries.

Like allowing Israeli citizens to build on territory outside of their borders? Like bombing the crap out of other countries? Like assassinating people whom you dislike?

That doesn't address the point that it isn't a liberal democracy...

You can't accuse a country of not being a non liberal democracy because it's laws have no relevance to third parties in neighbouring country's.

It's like Westminster passing laws and having to factor in the people of Munich.

Israel falls into a liberal democracy.

Only if those "third parties" happen to be solely Jews...

Hence why we can't pass laws restricting immigration from particular countries, even if we don't like lt.

Israel falls into a liberal democracy.


Your incessant repetition of this erroneous statement will not make it so. Time for you to grow up and realise that Israel is a racist, settler and colonial state - the very opposite of one would categorize as a liberal democracy.

Is Lithuania, a member of the European Union, a racist state?
From Lithuanian Constitution:"Every Lithuanian person may settle in Lithuania"

Liberal democracies have been responsible for some of the worst atrocities, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The two aren't mutually exclusive, however emotional it makes you feel to hear Israel described that way.
