If you consider Cyprus part of the middle east, then that is also a democracy.

Turkey and Lebanon stand as "Hybrid regimes" but not under "Flawed democracy" as Israel and Cyprus s. interestingly enough, no country made it to "Full democracy"

Israel is ranked 37, while Cyprus is ranked 39. Lebanon is down at 86 while Turkey is at 89. Palestine is at 93, so it is considered a hybrid regime. Pakistan is at 104 while at the dead bottom of hybrid around the world is Iraq tied with Haiti for 111.

So?

At the UAE, we have a monarchy, yet the UAE is one of the best countries in the Middle East.

As of 2011.

Israel doesn't have apartheid. Have you ever even been to Israel? 20% of the people are Muslims and they are living happily.

I found one as of 2012 which I cannot post due to it not being Wikipedia. I also don't think Pakistan being a full democracy is very accurate.

My uncle who's a journalist went there. They are living in appalling conditions and suffering abuse at the hands of the same people supposedly "liberating" them from extremist threats.

Because:


"they are not living in fear"



^
That.



Plus, to get past the blockades you usually have to be part of a delegation and requires permission from the UN, ambassadors and your own government for a letter of support to allow you to cross the blockades.



Not to mention the numerous other pieces of paperwork and bureaucracy you have to circumvent. I highly doubt that you managed to go there.

You were part of a non-governmental organisation or a news company at 9? Doubt it.
