  1. A:  1

    B:  9

    C:  9

    .


  2. A.  10; they believe they are the chosen people.  How much more racist could you be?

    B.  1; Israel is not a true democracy.  It is a theocracy.

    C.  1; The lack of ethics shown toward the Palestinian people is unbelievable.

  3. Israeli Society = 10-6 depending on who you are talking to. Younger Israelis are much more open and I would score them at about 2.

    I would argue that given the history of the Jews- from that wicked man Haman, to the Spanish Inquisition, to the n***s and now Islam, it is a wonder that they are even this open. If any other group of people were in their position they would be no better, in fact, probably worse.

    B. True Democracy= 9

    They are a young country and do not get everything right. But they are a flagship of democracy for the region. Over 1,000 000 Arabs who are Israeli citizens live and work in Israel. They worship freely in their mosques. They enjoy full civil rights and Arabs serve in the Knesset. Yes, Israel is a democracy. And it was by no accident that it became democratic, there has been, and still is, a  sustained effort to keep Israel democratic by the Israelis. When its history, geography and circumstances are taken into account I think it is one of the best democracies in the world today.

    C, Israeli ethics= 7

    Surrounding countries and their ethics= -19

  4. Israel is a democracy !!!!!!!!!

  5. A. Unfortunately, xenophobia is very popular in Israel. An ultra Orthodox party, lead by xenophobes, is one of the largest in Israel.

    B. I won't use the threshold as an example, because it is worse in other countries, which I think are democratic despite that. But let me give another example: The Israeli media, which preaches hatred, "gives the opportunity" to post comments, with the "warning" that "derogatory comments would not be published". My comments are usually not published, but unbelievably derogatory ones are. For example, I once read that comment: "Listen to a joke, Russia is a democracy, pachchchc...." But try to post the following comment: Listen to a joke, the Israeli media is democratic, pachchchc... No, actually don't waste your time. What for?

    C. This answers the question about ethics too.

    So in all, Israel has nothing to be proud of regarding these topics.

  6. Israel gets a 10 - it is the most ethical society in the world.

    Good Luck!!!

  7. israel is a true democracy Israel is one of the most open societies in the world. Out of a population of 6.7 million, about 1.3 million — 20 percent of the population — are non-Jews (approximately 1.1 million Muslims, 130,000 Christians and 100,000 Druze).1

    Arabs in Israel have equal voting rights; in fact, it is one of the few places in the Middle East where Arab women may vote. Arabs currently hold 8 seats in the 120-seat Knesset. Israeli Arabs have also held various government posts, including one who served as Israel's ambassador to Finland and the current deputy mayor of Tel Aviv. Oscar Abu Razaq was appointed Director General of the Ministry of Interior, the first Arab citizen to become chief executive of a key government ministry. Ariel Sharon's original cabinet included the first Arab minister, Salah Tarif, a Druze who served as a minister without portfolio. An Arab is also a Supreme Court justice.

    Arabic, like Hebrew, is an official language in Israel. More than 300,000 Arab children attend Israeli schools. At the time of Israel's founding, there was one Arab high school in the country. Today, there are hundreds of Arab schools.2

    In 2002, the Israeli Supreme Court also ruled that the government cannot allocate land based on religion or ethnicity, and may not prevent Arab citizens from living wherever they choose.2a

    The sole legal distinction between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel is that the latter are not required to serve in the Israeli army. This is to spare Arab citizens the need to take up arms against their brethren. Nevertheless, Bedouins have served in paratroop units and other Arabs have volunteered for military duty. Compulsory military service is applied to the Druze and Circassian communities at their own request.

    Some economic and social gaps between Israeli Jews and Arabs result from the latter not serving in the military. Veterans qualify for many benefits not available to non-veterans. Moreover, the army aids in the socialization process.

    On the other hand, Arabs do have an advantage in obtaining some jobs during the years Israelis are in the military. In addition, industries like construction and trucking have come to be dominated by Israeli Arabs.

    Although Israeli Arabs have occasionally been involved in terrorist activities, they have generally behaved as loyal citizens. During the 1967, 1973 and 1982 wars, none engaged in any acts of sabotage or disloyalty. Sometimes, in fact, Arabs volunteered to take over civilian functions for reservists. During the outbreak of violence in the territories that began in September 2000, Israeli Arabs for the first time engaged in widespread protests with some violence.

    The United States has been independent for almost 230 years and still has not integrated all of its diverse communities. Even today, 60 years after civil rights legislation was adopted, discrimination has not been eradicated. It should not be surprising that Israel has not solved all of its social problems in only 60 years.

  8. b and c of course. the Jews and Arabs are the same race. and the the other colors of Jews do not face discrimination

  9. Every form of government has problems with ethics.  Just look at Shira Law.

    Israel is a true Democracy, nuff said.
