(Los Angeles Times) Roz Rothstein - The L.A. Times ran an article on Nov. 10 with the headline, "Biden's Win Poses a Dilemma for Autocrats." It was journalistic malpractice to include a section about Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, under that title. Autocracy is a system of government in which one person, the autocrat, has absolute power. Israel is the only proven democracy in the Middle East and is a free country, according to the American nonprofit advocacy organization Freedom House. Whether one supports or opposes Netanyahu and his policies, it is an objective fact that he is in office as a result of free and fair elections in Israel. He does not wield absolute power in his country, but rather shares it with the legislative and judicial branches. The writer is co-founder and chief executive of StandWithUs.
