Why is it relevant?
It's a huge lesson in what an ACTUAL western democracy is capable of when it is not trying to preserve the superiority of any one ethnicity. Like, say, an isreal who will never concieve the possibility of an arab PM. Some people hold a giant double standard when it comes to rationalizing the new master race and state sanctioned racism in israel. SOME would like to boohoo you into another blank check despite reality.
Please none of the other Western Democracy go outside the of Christian religion or sec! How many Jews, Buddahist or Muslims have been PMs in France, Britian, Ireland, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, the US or Canada? 0 you say how funny. How many have been Christian! 100%. The closest we Americans have come was to voting in a Catholic (still a sec to Christianity) and we only did it once. Wow these Western Democracies are just as guilty as you say Israel is.
However, the Israeli have had many Arabs in there Parliment and even their supreme court! Arabs even sat in on Israelis first Parlimentary assembly. 12 of the 120 parliment seats are held by Arab Israeli (the is 10%!), Arabs are town mayors and there is even an Arab Supreme Court justice! How many Muslim Congressman have there been in the US? 1, through out her history and he doesn't look to be reelected!
