Happy Birthday Israel
<p>Today marks the anniversary of the establishment of Israel - the bastion of democracy, freedom, free enterprise and western civilisation in the Middle East.</p>
<p>It is the only nation in the Middle East possessing the above qualities and also the only middle east nation which has an excellent record on gay rights.</p>
<p>They inherited a silly law from the British against sodomy, but did what should be done for all silly laws and simply ignored it.</p>
<p>The only oddity about Israel, gay-wise, is they recognise gay marriage or civil unions performed in other countries, but not in their own. Weird.</p>
<p>I hope they enjoy their 66th birthday.</p>
<p>Despite the best efforts of terrorists, mass murderers, persecutors of gay people, persecutors of women, persecutors of democrats and some other awful people, Israel has survived and prospered and I wish them all the best for the future.</p>

Yes, the oppressed become the oppressors.

No--Palestinians do not vote in Israeli election because they are not Israeli residents. However, any Arab who lives in Israel can vote. There are many Arabs who serve in the Israeli Knesseth (Congress) and in the army.

Not sure about this, does democracy extend to the Palestinians? Are they allowed to vote in Israel? Or only among the Jewish population? I hardly see that as democratic. What a strange blog.

Kind of agree with Giles on this. Agree they have a right to exist..not on board with way the deal with their neighbors. And don't give me the terrorism rant...not sure how you would feel if someone decided you couldn't live on your land any more and they keep chipping away at what you have.
