A free Palestine?

"FREE PALESTINE"

This is the cry we hear from various quarters, including famously in 2014, the England cricketer and self-confessed Muslim, Moeen Ali.

Supporters of the "Free Palestine" cause come from two distinct camps.
Firstly, there is the western liberal, pro-equality, anti-war, pro-education, pro-democracy camp.
Secondly, there are the militant Islamic, violently anti-Jew, anti-American bigots who want to establish an Islamic Caliphate across the middle east, and see Israel as a Western influenced buffer zone, requiring destruction.

Well, I have good news for those from Camp #1! A Free Palestine already exists! It is a multi-party, liberal democracy with religious freedom and gender equality built into its constitution, and an inclusive parliamentary democracy that is so successful, a party only needs 5% of the vote to get an MP.
'Where is this vision of PC-correctness?' you cry. It is right there - it's called Israel! But you cannot reject this perfect vision of statehood simply because you don't like the name can you? That would be the biggest case of 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' in history! Israel has more democratically elected Arab MPs than any other country in the world - about 20% of the parliament!

Of course, you may have a deep down feeling that, despite these easily verifiable facts, you are still opposed to the existance of Israel! Perhaps you need to consider if you actually belong to Camp #2!
