I haven't viewed Israel as a modern representative democracy ever in the last 50s years. A bit with Menachem Begin, and the peacemakers.
It seems its a controlled militaristic salad of vastly irreconciled minorities. I also think American support while important decades ago, has been a wounding crutch used by Netanyahu et al to avoid solving the Palestinians legitimate statehood.
Imagine if the United States treated Texas or Mississippi or Missouri like the Palestinians.
I believe in a 2-state solution, but it will need to be a regional effort with the full support of nearby Arab states, because a Palestinian state will require massive support to become and remain viable. Israel will have to agree to it, but what happens the day after and in the months and years to follow?
Nice!

Well said, David. Well said.
