See, I find myself agreeing, but am having trouble meshing those two, especially in what's been touted as "the middle east's only functional democracy"

How does a institution of, by, and for the people not count as a distillation of popular will?

I supposed in a liberal democracy that would be the case, but in reality the US and British governments rarely represent more than 1/3 of the population at best; with those being 'good' examples of democracy and Netanyahu being investigated for corruption the share of population actually represented by his administration is likely even lower.
