Israel Laws and Institutions are products of Americans?

From an outsiders view, I disagree with this comment. Even though Israel bows down to America, it is not a Democracy, but by name only.  It is obvious; there is no freedom of election [ no distinct voting by district, city etc. of your chosen candidate], no freedom of speech, no freedom to peacefully protest and you can only live in certain areas deemed by the state. No separation between Judicial and State [no checks and balances], it goes on and on.............. It appears to be on the threshold of an oligarchy.  I believe, there is a system that can be created to bring Israel into a Torah government utilizing a rational form of democracy in conjunction. I know it is easier said than done and the elements present are a negative factor, putting it mildly, but the seed itself needs to be planted.

There is freedom of speech and people can peacefully protest in Israel, but it is certainly not an ideal democracy, and you are not far off in saying Israel is "on the threshold of an oligarchy."

There is certainly a way to create a Torah government, combined with democratic institutions. In the mildest terms, all that need be done is to adopt a constitution that consists of Commandments and Laws from the Torah. However, a government begins with the people who run it. It is easy to change laws, but much harder to change people. Planting that seed begins in the grassroots; teaching a new generation of leaders who are God fearing and understand how to implement the teachings of Torah in running an upright government.
