theotherverion,

Well, you stated that in Amman people mind their own business when talking about gays, in Israel gays can adopt children. Does any other country around recognize gay relationships and allow them to adopt children? Are pride parades allowed anywhere in the region (apart from Israel)?

About Lebanon: maybe it is a secular country but still has been marked as an authoritarian regime by economist with a score of 3.56 (for comparison, Israel has a score of roughly 7.9). So I don’t think we have to argue which regime is more oppressive towards the citizens.

You also mentioned that each country should have human rights for native population. I do not necessarily understand how that applies to Israel. Israel has laws for their citizens and Palestinian authorities have laws for Palestinians. The fact Palestinian government oppresses their people with their laws is not Israel’s fault. There are many things Israel is guilty of but this is not one of them.
