Well they elected religious extremists who weren’t particularly keen about democracy either. I think democracy is more than just majority rule. Of course El-Sisi’s regime is not much better..

So instead of a flawed democracy we rather support a military dictatorship.

If by flawed democracy you mean a dictatorship akin to Gaza, sure.

Yes democracy is majority rule that complies with the current zeitgeist of the blue checkmarks. Majority rule that doesn't is populism or authoritarianism

It’s gonna be Bibi and Sisi again soon!
And Gaza is in the middle, with millions of trapped people.
There are ways to solve these issues but they involve a regional solution where everyone works together. Like approaching Hamas with a roadmap for building up Gaza and replacing them with moderates and free and fair elections. Or like having all Arab countries agree to offer citizenship and equal rights to people of Palestinian descent who were born in the country and so were their parents. And then after that Israel can offer a right of return to them, so they actually have a choice of where to go. Unfortunately that will take another 10 years to materialize.

Democracy is majority rule. Liberal democracy is the preferred term for people who support democracy until it does something they don’t approve of.
