Also, OP, your automatic association of xenophobia/right wing attitudes with illiteracy/bad spelling/netspeak/American Southern accents etc in your subject lines was sort of funny the first time, but after the zillions of repetitions you've given it it's now coming off as pretty offensive in itself (and I say that as someone who's on the lefty side of politics and lives nowhere near the South). This post just highlights it- "they're Israeli, but they're being racist asshats, so let's make them sound like dumb American hicks because CLEARLY THAT IS WHAT ALL RACIST ASSHATS SOUND LIKE." It's not helping with any greater message of understanding or tolerance; you're just slapping an easy and very American-point-of-view "them" label that makes it easy to just laugh and think "oh, they're so stupid". What the Israeli government is doing is wrong, but can't that be discussed here without using stereotyping?

I don't get how it's a threat to the democratic nature of a state that is only democratic when compared to its neighbors. As for the Jewish nature of the country, changing that is not a bad thing. Theocracy is never good, regardless of the religion in charge. Maybe a less explicitly Jewish state would be able to find peace with itself and its neighbors.
