Well, it really, factually isn't for a very obvious reason.

It's Western leaders trying their best to make it seem they don't notice it.

You can make the case the occupation is temporary and Israel isn't looking to hold these territories forever; in that case Israel can be viewed as a democracy. But yeah, the settlements weaken that argument. Nevertheless Israel proper is the closest thing to a democracy that region has.
