So the country populated by people who have for over two millennia been targeted for countless pogroms and genocides by numerous religious and ethnic groups, and is surrounded by hostile theocracies that want nothing more than to destroy it, has finally become a hostile, genocidal theocracy.
I can't say I'm all that surprised, frankly. Humans tend to behave the way you'd expect them to behave, given their history and their environment and their circumstances.
Well, another democracy bites the dust. Ain't that a bitch. Once upon a time, I actually thought democracy would ultimately prevail against tyranny, eventually. Ah, the idealism of youth...
