Second, anyone who thinks Israel is a democracy needs to ask they they banned Arab political parties. Only Jewish political parties in Israel. That makes them a theocracy, not a democracy.

With all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about.
1) Many Jews are Arabs
But, if you're refering solely to Muslim/Christian Israelis from Arab descent...
2) 10% of Israeli paliament is Arab, in line with the general population.
3) There exists many Arab parties within Israel.
But, if you're refering to the one Arab party that was for a time banned last year
because the leader met various times with Hamas and in Syria (a sworn enemy of the State) called for Arab nations to stand up against Israel, then you're wrong again. The party, Balad Party, was reinstated by the Israeli Supreme Court before the election.
How's that for a theocracy?
