brooklyn13, sortagreen's reply there was accurate. Your context argument is bullshit. Nobody does a country comparison in every article which is focused on one country or another. Nobody does. Nobody should. When we talk about the electoral process in the USA we don't compare it with Australia's in the same article unless we are doing a comparative thing. Same with the historical points you lean on. No one here denies either of our country history's.
"I'll never understand how you guys living in domestically oppressive countries, like just about everywhere, decided to get up on your high horses and demand that Israel act in some idealized version of your own imperfect situations. It's what I believe is called a double standard."
I'll never understand how you can rationalize Israel's non-democratic apartheid state the way you do.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
