5 straight posts of links to Zionist propaganda sites. This has to considered spamming.
Isn't Barghouti's goal to force Israel to become a secular, democratic state with equality for all the people that Israel rules over? Is that "destroying" a society? The ANC had similar goals for South Africa and that society wasn't destroyed.
Do you really not know the meaning of the words you are using, or are you using those words to convince people who know nothing
about Israel or are somewhat, or totally Anti-Israel as you are?
Israel: Theocratic republic, ethnic democracy or modern secular nation-state?
Secularism in Israel - Wikipedia

Ancient Israel was run by Priests.
Is modern Israel run by a Rabbi Prime Minister?
A Rabbi Supreme Court?
Is the Knesset all Jewish and all Rabbis?

No, the aim of Barghouti has NEVER, ever been to force Israel to become a secular, democratic State, and you do know that.
His goal is to force Israel to allow Millions of "refugees", when only about 20,000 would be defined as such today, into Israel and destroy Israel as a State.
Move Millions of Arabs into Israel, make it Jewish minority and BINGO, Israel is eventually gone, and the Jews are back as they were about 100 years ago.
The Jews will not be part of a secular democracy run by Muslims, but a minority, as they always were for 1300 years, having no rights, paying taxes for protection, etc, etc.
THAT IS if the Muslims will be so gracious as to allow the Jews to stay on the land.
The quotes from the link above which I posted tell people all they need to know about Barghouti's intentions and that of the BDS movement and extreme Muslims in general.
Israel, by definition, is a theocracy. It was founded based on a religious principle, it calls itself a Jewish state, personal civil law with respect to marriage etc. is religious only, etc. Land ownership via the JNF is all religiously based, there is a loyalty oath requires non-Jews to swear loyalty to a Jewish state.
(If an American Jew were required to swear loyalty to the U.S. as a Christian state, wouldn't that be a theocratic feature of the U.S.?)
Not only is Israel theocratic, it is also not democratic. Israel rules over and controls non-Jews in East Jerusalem, the WB and Gaza, yet most of the people in those areas do not have the right to vote.
Barghouti is simply employing non-violent resistance to the theocratic and non-democratic state of Israel. His goal is to push Israel into becoming a secular, democratic state with equal rights for all the people the state controls and rules over.

In your words Israel controls non-Jews in Gaza and Areas A and B
of the West Bank.
In other words, Hamas and the PLO and the PA are absolute no ones. They do not govern and make the laws in those areas.
In other words, all the EU, US and other donations are going to Israel and not to UNWRA and Gaza directly, nor is it going to the PA, directly.
Neither Turkey, China, Russia, Morocco, etc have been "negotiating" with the people of the areas they rule outside of their own countries.
If what you say is true, then why would Israel bother to do any negotiations, relinquish any lands, etc, if none of the other countries who do what you are accusing Israel of doing, not only are being pressured into freeing those lands, but not offering to negotiate anything with the people in question?
You accuse with no proof.
Yell fire inside a crowded theatre knowing exactly what the result you are looking for is.
Spread the Muslim/Arab/Palestinian cries all you like.
Israel is a theocracy?
You have only shown words.
I am not going to go into all the Christian countries which require allegiance from non Christians to the country once they become citizens.
And never mind the Muslim ones. How many non Muslims consider their non Muslim populations citizens of the country to require an allegiance oath to begin with?[/QUOTE]
1. The International Court of Justice describes the situation of Israeli rule over Gaza succinctly:
"In general, this view is based on the scope and degree of control that Israel has retained over the territory of Gaza following the 2005 disengagement – including, inter alia, Israel’s exercise of control over border crossings, the territorial sea adjacent to the Gaza Strip, and the airspace of Gaza; its periodic military incursions within Gaza; its enforcement of no-go areas within Gaza near the border where Israeli settlements used to be; and its regulation of the local monetary market based on the Israeli currency and control of taxes and customs duties. The retention of such competences by Israel over the territory of Gaza even after the 2005 disengagement overall supports the conclusion that the authority retained by Israel amounts to effective control."

2. As far as the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the IDF not only controls the borders, air space and collects taxes and duties, IDF soldiers and Israeli police patrol the area, maintain checkpoints, and control who can travel anywhere within the occupied areas. This is absolute rule.
3. In fact, all aid goes through Israel, one way or another. Israel can and has blocked aid to Gaza and to the WB.
"....the Israeli military occupation persists in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Israel remains the only sovereign government in the area of Israel/Palestine, and the Israeli authorities wield control over border passes, seaports, airports, customs and currency. This control enables the Israeli authorities to determine the conditions for aid and to divert it to goods and services provided by Israeli companies, while restricting and hindering any kind of aid of which they do not approve (AIDA, 2011). Israeli economists have identified an unwritten, but consistently-applied, Israeli policy that prevents Palestinian economic development in sectors which could compete with the Israeli economy...."

4. I don't know of one Christian country that requires sworn allegiance to Christianity to become a citizen, except maybe Vatican City.
As usual, I present facts and you respond with lies and propaganda. Israel is a theocracy with some elements of a secular state and is undemocratic, by definition.
