My respond to Denis Fox will be more the “Joe the Plumber” type. By his theoretical standards there is not one democratic country in the world.

[...] The ratios of those on either side of the conflict speak for themselves – the only people who need to suffer are those the Israeli government is authorizing. I am not saying who is right on either side of the conflict from its beginnings… there is a world of blame on either side. In this situation, with how the Palestinians are being treated…. there is no way any one will convince me it is not planned and intentional to fulfill an unstated purpose that only the international community are able to stop.If you read the accounts from within the borders of Israel you will see that there are many there to who feel helpless to stop this advance and the philophies of discrimination behind them: http://globalvoicesonline.org/2009/01/15/israel-arab-parties-banned-from-participating-in-elections/.
