Democracy in Israel

Noted economist and bestselling author Norman Dacey blows the whistle on the claim that Israel is "the only democracy in the Middle East" in this concise but thorough analysis of Israel's very undemocratic institutions and practices. Dacey demonstrates systematic suppression of the Palestinians; second-class status for Christians and other non-Jews; inequality of women; the plight of the half-Jewish mamzerim (illegitimate in Israeli law even if their parents are married!); discrimination against black and Oriental Jews; police state powers; and many other features of Israeli law and Israeli policy that give the lie to the fiction that the Zionist state is a democracy.
