    You do know that the point of a democracy is that it’s up to the will of the people to decide who gets toppled politically, not for the party in charge to ban a party that may topple them, right?

    Not that an Arab party would topple any of the leading parties in Israel anyway, but the point still stands.

      Not exactly… historically, democracy is a system where random citizen are called at power for a given time, and then face a trial where people may condemn them to death if they did shit (or claim they are heroes if they did good). At least that is how Athena’s democracy worked.

      The new democratic claim is that people choose a head, and then the head can do whatever without face any consequences. Choose your tyran.

      US, European countries, Soviet Union and North Korea aren’t really democratic systems, even if they claim so.
