If they weren’t such Liberals, they wouldn’t care what others thought. It wasn’t the boycotts of South Africa that brought an end to the white government.
But, I accept your point, so I go back to my Turkey plan.
Well, even FReepers agree to “no taxation without representation” (even if it ain’t working too well right here and now... LOL...)...
In other words, it doesn’t go over too well in the world for a “representative type of government” — who is supposed to represent these values — to then remove the right to vote. Israel knows that wouldn’t fly with the rest of the world (no matter how many terrorists are around...).
And face it, if Israel decided to not give a significant portion of their people living in Israel *no vote* in the government — can you imagine the uproar that would cause here in the U.S. and how much pressure would be put on the U.S. government to either back away from Israel because of that and/or to put sanctions on Israel, plus all of Europe putting sanctions on Israel — AND — the Muslims *gleefully* going along with sanctions, too....
Some people here think the Israelis are stupid idiots... or something... LOL...
