Wasn't it obvious that I was being sarcastic?

My point was that it is odd to talk about ur "3 fundamental aspects of Judaism" when in reality u don't give a shit of what Judaism says, hence referring to Israel not following the Torah !

seriously if you followed what Islam wants you to follow, youd be contradicting yourself.

But were more than a religion. Were a group. A community. A nation....
If the people wanted freedom and democracy. A right to practice religion and also have a right to say and elect..than is that wrong?

Can't hate what you don't know.

Simply put, Noam Chomsky is a looney-leftist, self-hating American Jew who loves Hezbollah (he's also a world-renowned linguist and MIT professor).

[Gilgamesh VI]

I know who he is, he was asking about him being hated in Israel in general.

I am interested to know how the electoral system works. Is it true, as someone told me in the 1990s, that it's a system of purely mathematical proportional representation, i.e., that getting one-onehundredandtwentieth (1/120th) of the vote gives a party one seat, and so on? (This is system that operates in The Netherlands, where it's 1/150.) Have there been any governments in Israel's history that have had an overall majority (at least 61/120 on present figures) by one party? If not, what is the largest number of seats any party has ever had?

Many thanks for your answers about the electoral system, Gilgamesh VI.

40 out of 120 is not 25%

Gilgamesh VI, I should have thanked you in my first reply for having taken the trouble to provide the precise details.

Gilgamesh VI/Anyone: Does the same system (of purely mathematical proportional representation) also apply in municipal elections?

it is not exactly " purely mathematical proportional representation".
a blocking precentage exist ,so small parties don't pass it.you need to gain more than 1/120 of the total votes to get a seat in the knesset.
