Israel and Democracy
Israel is the only country in the region that is a democracy, while all its enemies are dictatorial states. However, this does not mean that Israel is defending democracy against dictatorships. The conflict between Arabs and Israelis has nothing to do with the opposition between democracy and dictatorships; this isn't the Cold War between communism and liberalism of the 20th century, nor the clash between liberals and reactionaries of the 19th century. It is a national issue. Nevertheless, in the 1970s, the Palestinian struggle was oddly linked to the conflict between capitalism and communism, but those days are over.
