The US and UK won't be democratic by the same reasoning because they have "occupied" parts of Cuba and Argentina respectively.

Not to forget that rockets are routinely fired into Israel from Gaza. So, it seems Israel has good reasons to exercise that kind of control over Gaza.

If the citizens in the Falklands or Guantanamo weren't allowed to vote, you would have a point, however they are allowed to vote, so you don't have a point.

The standard is occupation of a territory without giving them or its inhabitants the right to vote.
