Actually I find the "only democracy in the middle east" more tiresome.
A country that rules over millions without giving them political participation is not a democracy in the modern sense.
Israel could leave the west bank - that would be according to international law.
They could also annex it and make it an official part of Israel - that would be less law-abiding, but maybe based in reality. But then all the people living there would have to be treated as full citizens.
What they're doing at the moment is occupying the land and keeping the people as "helots" subject to random acts of violence by citizens at any time.

So Israel isn't any more democratic than ancient Sparta.
