For 50-odd years, Israel was the only true democracy in the middle east. It appears, this has gradually ceased to be true. Consider, as of the moment in Israel, it is:
- Illegal to call for a boycott of goods manufactured in the occupied territories
- Illegal for a citizen to marry a woman from the occupied territories and bring her to Israel (if she's Arab)
- Illegal to commemorate the expulsion of Arabs from Israel in 1948
- Illegal for Arabs to serve in the army (and to enjoy the privileges that this service subsequently brings)
- Anyone convicted of 'assisting terrorism' has their citizenship stripped from them
.... and more beyond.
Sic transit gloria populi
