      100% Occupied Palestine has always been a shit show. From the day the land was stolen out from under the people living there to make it.

        can’t call it democracy if half the population isn’t seen as human and don’t get to vote

        “More democratic oligarchy vs. less democratic oligarchy” if you prefer (though I could quibble about the meaning of democracy) but the effective message is the same. “These shitheads are right to not want the less democratic option, but are missing the broader fucking issue that is leading them to the question in the first place”

          I’m not quibbling about definitions of democraticies, it’ll be hard to figure out a definition for it that includes Israel. apartheid and democracy are mutually exclusive.
