1. Israel has the most meticulously crafted constituency to avoid Arab majority in the Knesset. 2. It bars any non-Jew to hold the post of the Prime Minitser 3. It has abused the naturally segregated Arab-Jewish neighborhoods to provide more and better for the Jewish neighborhoods, in terms of almost all social amenities. Water, schools, electricity, etc., are far from being equally funded as those in Jewish neighborhoods. 4. Arabs and Jews convicted of similar crimes get different levels of punishments. 5. It has refused to annex the occupied Gaza and the West Bank precisely because it doesn't want Arab majority in Israel. 6. Most notably, as exemplified in recent weeks, it uses random and disproportionate force to quell any threats, with utter disregard for the lives of the innocent, non-fundamentalist Arabs. Perhaps if Israel was as democratic as the US and itself likes to claim, we would have less of the problem with Islamic fundamentalism. Again, this is not an attempt to justify Islamic fundamentalism, but in order to put an end to the latter, we must first recognize the fact that Israel is not as democratic as they would like to portray themselves.
