You can't suggest that Israel is well on it's way towards complete theocracy and deeper and deeper levels of state-protected misogyny while it's also losing any semblance of functional democracy and effective long term strategies without it being suggested.
Oh, wait, you can only say that about countries like Saudi Arabia. Silly me. Because the difference between flogging women and spitting on little girls is, you know, just so insurmountably vast.
And I'm not even touching the surface of valid criticisms that people just keep quiet about rather than utter, at least in America.
The worst part of it is that these criticisms generally have nothing to do with some sort of broad notion of Judaism as a religion or as a whole, but more particularly to Israel and its domination by short-sighted zealots.
