Somehow  some people on this comment board seem to think the US is a democracy  It is not, it is a country run by who ever has the biggest wallet in the game and consists of a vast array of gerrymandered electoral districts designed to ensure the right person gets elected.  It does not meet the definition of a democracy  So lets stop pointing fingers at societies that are not at "democratic" as the US.   
As for the Jewish state, it is lead  by religious zealots , they are driving down a path that will end badly. When it does there will be little sadness for the end of this evil  nation.
