Sure, you can always slice it in a way to make it look like a democracy. There's elections within the Politburo too, or Iran, which is a Republic after all. It was true of South Africa too.

I am happy to call Israel an ethno-supremacist, apartheid democracy if you want.

> Agree this is tragic. But again, historically not unique.

Sure, the Holocaust was 'historically not unique' too. Aren't we meant to be moving forward as humanity? Slavery was legal for most of history too.
