We need allies in the Middle East, for one thing. Israel is our most stable and reliable ally in the region, and the only democracy there as well.
"Democracy" LOL
Also, who is our ally in Africa?
It's totally normal to have six elections in three years to keep your leader out of prison, doncha know.
Fellas, is it undemocratic to vote?
Imagine being this clueless, and thinking that Israeli democracy is anything close to functional right now. Just another in your greatest hits of comical statements.
Eh, he's kind of got a point on this specific criticism. Belgium, for instance, isn't disqualified as a democracy just because their elections often produce fragmented governments with no clear majority.
The fatal flaw of Israeli "democracy" is that Israel, which has a fairly functional democracy within its internationally-recognized borders, also maintains a colonial occupation of Palestine. Israeli law functionally governs the lives of millions in the West Bank and Gaza, but they have no say in how that law is written. The problem is not the number of parties or the difficulties of coalition formation, it's the fact that half the population living under Israeli governance doesn't get to vote at all.
