out of the box

the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

we're way too into this whole democracy thing, israel isn't exactly a shining example of a functional one and most of the powerful countries aren't either. so i say fuck democracy, turn israel into a totalitarian jewish state with democratic values like freedom of speech and equal rights and let all the palestinians in for a completely fresh start.
enforce a separation of church and state, expel any trouble makers, declare a large buffer zone, patrol the borders properly and spend the military money we'd save on new infrastructure for all.

nobody would get to vote, which is great because the entire middle east is filled with incompetent voters regardless of race or religion.

it seems to me that the potential for disaster with this plan is no worse than the current options on the table, the potential for success unlimited and immeasurable. all arguments (for and against) welcome.

[edit] okay, maybe a democracy in which you only get to vote if you've done military or community service and haven't been on any form of welfare since the last election.
