There are other western countries with very strict immigration policies. I think this applies to Switzerland and to Japan, for example.

I feel this is a reaction to various PA policies. In PA, there is a law that selling land to Israelis is punished by death. In Gaza, Hamas declaration of principles states that the goal of Hamas is to destroy the state of Israel.

I think Israel is a Western Democraty for these reasons: "Western", due to its cultural ties and since it shares western values. "Democracy" because of many institutions, including the rule of all, the free elections and

In my humble opinion, the western democracies, like Israel, came a long way since Galileo but many places haven't. That is, "the ruling class" would still behead you or otherwise kill you in shadows or openly e.g. Saudi Arabi

Well "biased" means that you are not doing an independent impartial assessment of the facts. So admittedly, you're saying your opinion is based off something other than pure facts? I believe I do know how facebook operates t

Facebook is not owned by Zuck he is just a CEO. I thought this is obvious so didn't stress this fact writing Zuch but meaning FB. Facebook is a public company and as such this company is owned by public. When I say Zuck does not have f

The example with facebook is quite different from Gov. Your interaction with facebook is 100% voluntarily, you don't like facebook then you can say bye! With the government you have no room for flexibility.
