The 'branding' of Israel as a 'Jewish and democratic state,' whose supporters call themselves "(proud) zionists," probably results from opposition to the relationship between democracy and representatives passing laws that reflect current demographic (civil and human rights law protected class AKA 'identity politics' 'community') population majority rule with enforced recognition of minority civil legal equality. Opinions on the law form the basis of ‘small d’ (nonpartisan to not 'invoke' USA-based Democratic Party) democratic popular activism to change laws in direct contradiction to @talshprecher reply from June 2015 hidden by November 2017 as the account is 'protected' from all but confirmed followers. Below is a copy and paste made before the account was protected.

@TalShprecher: @Canadianmtstick @peter_donnelly @gomedia_ie @ggreenwald Understand that my or your opinion on the law doesn't affect the law.
Now-protected twitter account @talshprecher even called opinions on the law "sanctimonious nonsense" unless the law was already changed.
Other tweets in the same June 2015 thread are still publicly visible in 2017.
Calling such activism “sanctimonious nonsense” shows the individual controller of the @talshprecher twitter account has a lack of commitment to democracy unless the ‘identity politics’ ‘community’ (civil rights law protected class such as religion, gender with newer categories of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, race and disability) the account controller identifies with retains political, social and economic privilege protected by state power. Enforced civil legal equality for current and changeable demographic majority and minority populations will more easily provide for the ‘general welfare’ of individual security from politically motivated non-military violence AKA use of the terrorism tactic.
The @themiddle123 tweet from 1 month later claiming the irrelevance of individual feelings about separate courts for people living on the same politically-defined land area, subject to either military or civilian jurisdiction of the same country corroborated the lack of respect for democracy @talshprecher showed in June 2015 and hid from all but confirmed account followers by November 2017.
Two twitter threads with posts demonstrating the communicative behavior commonly known as ‘trolling,’ over two years, by two different accounts one now hidden, show attempts on twitter (social media) to defend the same goal that a line in “It’s What We Do A Play about the Occupation” also stated is a goal of IDF soldiers.
A soldier guarding a settlement in the South Hebron Hills states that “it‟s the settlement security coordinator who decides what
is allowed and what is prohibited. It‟s a pretty funny situation, when you think about it, where a civilian tells the army what its limitations are and what the laws are” (testimony 4). When a soldier tells a group of settlers that their presence in the OPT is criminal, he is told, “we stretch the law, the law will bend according to what we do...we establish the facts on the ground, and they‟ll make do with what we do” (testimony 3).
That goal is to “stretch the law” to normalize the Israel occupation of lands, known to different audiences as the OPT or Judea, Samaria and Gaza, to defend democracy for only people of one faith and national origin/citizenship despite common residency/domicile with military, criminal and civil law enforced by the same government. That government was and still is unequally accountable to all of the people on whom it exercises its powers.
