That being said, Prof. Ze`ev Sternhell`s suggestions that Isralei democracy is reaching it end because of this incident is absurd. The Israeli democratic process is indeed creaking and groaning under the outrageous weight of a government which since the second Lebanon War, has refused to listen to the electorate and allow national elections to take place.
