Is Israel the only democracy in the Middle East?
Not according to Israeli human rights group, B’tselem:
“Roughly 15 million people, about half of them Jews and the other half Palestinians, live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, under a single rule.
“The perception that there are two separate regimes in this territory – a democracy on one side of the Green Line, within Israel’s sovereign borders, and a temporary military occupation on the other – is divorced from reality.
“All of us, Jews and Palestinians alike, live in this area in a binational reality, under a single regime.
“However, not everyone will be permitted to vote in the coming elections, which will determine the government and our lives in the coming years.
“About half of the population – all the Palestinians who live in this area, whether they are citizens, permanent residents or subjects – are either fully or partially excluded from this decision-making process.”
