Actually anon was me, I clicked the button by mistake and I am more than capable of a rational argument. If you want to postulate that a Jewish State (not Zionism in its traditional socialist sense but religious Zionism) deliberately maintained, without reverting to social engineering (ensuring that there is always a Jewish majority) is compatable with the commonly accepted definition of democracy (one person one vote irrespective of race) you are going to have to work pretty hard. In fact, if it wasn't so difficult, the right wouldn't be working so hard to come up with "solutions" that do just that: such as drawing borders around majority Arab areas, paying Arabs to leave, deporting Arabs or allowing them to live in Israel as non-citizens only. If it wasn't so hard, Israel would have just annexed Gaza and the West Bank years ago when Egypt and Jordan rescinded their claims. France and Germany are poor examples as they citizenship is granted by birth, not race or religion. The majority of Jews in Israel and the Diaspora may want to live in a majority Jewish country, you won't get an argument from me about that, but it does not change the fundemental problem and arguing otherwise is intellectually dishonest in the extreme. And the Arab that you were insulting is Lebanese and would very much like to see Lebanon and Israel at peace and with open and free borders, a pretty decent agenda.
