Israel and Democracy

Labels:
A democracy without limitations of it's constituents is not a democracy. The United States has a border. Israel has defined who it's constituents are as well and the members of Israel do not stop other states from involving themselves in Democracy. Without the Republic and the limitations of the Republic you have internationalist tyranny. Internationalist tyranny comes in many forms such as Marxism. It is the boundary of who it's members are that gives a democracy it's freedoms. All freedoms in specific are not absolute. Freedom of speech is not the freedom to libel or use hate speech. The freedom to own a gun and bare arms is not the freedom to own a nuclear missile. The limitations are what makes freedom work. To declare Israel not a democracy because of it's limitations on who it's constituents are is internationalist tyranny. It is called arbitrary gerrymandering and it is an act of violence, racism and bigotry. The Jimmy Carters of this generation might seem enlightening to those that would hate anyway, but 100 years from now when the axioms are seen is a different juxtaposition, these people will be seen as racists. In the same way that the "German Democratic Republic" of East Germany is seen today as a play on language and not a defining character of it's state. Israel has a right to decide who it's members are. This does not make it any less of a Democracy then any other Democratic Republic. Israel is a Democratic Republic and in being a Republic gets to define the borders of it's constituents. Being that outside these borders are violence and hatred, my argument takes on an even more existential argument... but you can not nullify the quality of Israel's democracy based on terms that you insist to be a member.
