The State of Israel: The Middle East's Only Democracy or a Fascist/Apartheid State?
Israel was established in 1948 after World War II as a Jewish State for world Jewry, after the Holocaust and the collapse of Nazism in Europe the Jews of Europe knew their future was having their own state and the Jewish people with the help of the British agreed to partition Palestine into a Jewish state and a Arab state which became the State of Israel and the remainder became what is now Jordan.
People don't realize that Israel isn't a Democracy but a semi-religious state with religious matters controlled by the Rabbinate and the government is controlled by the Zionists, i:e Secularists. Even through Israel allows the Arab and Christian minorities autonomy and their own auspices for their own communities a lot of Israel's polices are similar to a Fascist/Religious state.
What most people don't know is that Israel's government and foundations are communist in nature but Israel doesn't want to call itself communist because they don't want to alienate the United States, which is Israel's primary ally and supplier of most of its arms and weapons. Theodore Herzl who is the founder of modern Zionism as a political movement was communist in nature and in theory. David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister was communist and Chaim Weizmann Israel's first president was also communist.
The state of Israel has the right to exist and Israel should always have its doors open to welcome Jews from all over the world fleeing persecution, however Israel cannot continue to violate the rights of the Palestinians and deny them full rights as Jewish Israelis and most take responsibility for when they do their own human rights violations against its own people, i;e Sephardi, Mizrachi and Ethiopian Jews and refusing to recognize Non-Orthodox streams of Judaism, i:e Conservative, Reform etc as part of Judaism and allowing the Rabbinate complete monopoly over marriages, conversions and burials.
I am Jewish and I use to be Orthodox myself for last few years I still consider myself to be moderately observant and I believe in G-d, the Torah, The Mitzvot and the coming of the Mosiach, i:e Messiah but I am not a Zionist. I believe that Jews need to share the land with their Arab and Non-Jewish neighbors and they need to follow the Torah and rectify the wrongs they have done and make Israel a truly democratic state where Human Rights are respected, Universal values are honored and continuing on the path of peace.
