That is different from how the word “democracy” has been used throughout human history, but sure.
And it is whataboutism, in the sense that people are talking about a sword as if the blade is the only part that matters, and I am asking them “what about the hilt”? Categorically refusing any “what about”-type statements is called obsession.
If you want to stop this holocaust, and the far greater ones that will follow as climate change makes large regions uninhabitable and western nations release their swarms of autonomous drones on migrants, then you have to zoom out and understand the whole picture.
Israel is not a mere local puppet government installed for neocolonial profiteering, it is an extension of the west. Every western nation is rotten and genocidal, and that is why they’ve bonded so thoroughly with Israel. To give up Israel is to give up white supremacy, and that isn’t something any white billionaire is ready to do.
So if you fight Israel, you also fight the west. Prepare for that, and pick your targets accordingly. It’s usually more effective to go for softer targets than hypermilitarized Israel. The Palestine Action heroes that targeted British planes understood that, as did the UK judge that decided to pull out all the stops to punish them as hard as possible to disincentivize similar awareness.
if only an ingroup is allowed to vote then it isn’t a democracy, despite what they claim.
I hope it is only a semantic discussion rather than whataboutism or a distraction from the ongoing holocaust.
