Yes Lebanon has a massive cultural clash, but they can probably be pretty high in your definition of what a democracy is if they declared tomorrow that they are a "Democratic Christian State" and decided to "occupy" all Muslim areas. Scratch that, it wouldn't be occupation, Muslim areas would just be "Disputed Areas" as our friend Mr. Ayalon would say. |
There are plenty of biased articles against Israel. If you look at how Israel treats its own citizens, including the Arab Isralis it ranks very high. If you want to include how Israel treats the other side in an armed conflict, and objectively look at the facts, you'll also find it ranks very high.
