Somewhat ironic for a fat ass Seattle attorney calling people who face death every day cowards

I face death every day, madam. I live in America.

Yeah, must get rough behind that gated community living around others that think and look just like you. Does your mailman drive too fast in your neighborhood? Does your neighbors coiffed up Chihuahua bite if you get to close to him? Real tough sledding in $400 an hour land right HH?

Five people were shot, two killed, in an incident a short walk from my home just this year. It made the TeeVee.

None of my Muslim neighbors was the perp.

According to the Democracy Index 2016 study, Israel (#29 worldwide) is the only democracy in the Middle East, while Tunisia (#69 worldwide) is the only democracy in North Africa.[1] The measure of the level of democracy in nations throughout the world published by Freedom House and various other freedom indices, the Middle Eastern and North African countries with the highest scores are Israel, Tunisia, Turkey, Lebanon, Morocco, Jordan and Kuwait. Countries that are occasionally classified as partly democratic are Egypt and Iraq. The remaining countries of the Middle East are categorized as authoritarian regimes, with the lowest scores held by Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Jordan is a unitary state under a constitutional monarchy. Jordan's constitution, adopted in 1952 and amended a number of times since, is the legal framework that governs the monarch, government, bicameral legislature and judiciary.[129] The king retains wide executive and legislative powers from the government and parliament.[130] The king exercises his powers through the government that he appoints for a four-year term, which is responsible before the parliament that is made up of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The judiciary is independent according to the constitution.[129]

Ah so Jordan is a constitutional monarchy with a parliament, just like the UK! Meanwhile Israel’s PM is being indicted on corruption charges and they have to hold new elections in a month because of dysfunction. The only democracy in the middle east indeed.

I didn't expect you to let facts get in your way

Since Israel is the only democracy and you can't name another

But please, keep up the hate

It really helps my argument

Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Tunisia are and Egypt was before our Gulf allies teamed up to coup Morsi and reinstate a military dictatorship.

Jordan is a monarchy. Lebanon is a shithole country. Iraq is a shithole country. Tunisia is a shithole country. Egypt is a sad shell of what it used to be. Sad to see how far the pharaohs have fallen.

Cowardice

Anyone who lives in Israel is no coward. Not surprised the libs on here side with the anti-semites.

What about the IDF snipers that target medics and then laugh about it? That’s not cowardice?

Blowing up women and kids gets you to paradise. The religion of peace.......

Turkey is a military dictatorship that put a hit on a NBA player

Israel has a mandatory military draft for an army that illegally occupies foreign territory. It also includes a military censor meaning you can’t openly discuss things like, oh, its nuclear weapons program. It also routinely violates human rights of its citizens and in the Palestinian Territories.

The criteria was democracy. Jordan holds elections for its parliament. As does lebanon. As do Iraq, Tunisia, and Turkey. Yes they also violate human rights of their citizens. But we’re talking about the bullshit claim that Israel is the only “democracy” in the Middle East. You’re attempting to argue that Israel is the only “liberal democracy” in the Middle East which is also not true. Just observe how even moderate Arab parties are barred from running for the Knesset while insane Kahanists are approved. Learn a little bit about the region before you show your asses.

I'm stating Israel is the only democracy backed up by facts

Hope this helps

So they hold elections? That’s your fact? Weak, again.
