I don’t see how. Democracy states that people have power to rule usually through voting. If not all the people have this power equally, is it really a democracy? It can look like one but not necessarily be one.
I think you’re making a values judgement instead of a logical one. No one was claiming the USA wasn’t a democracy when only male white land owners could vote. It was just a flawed society, but still a democracy.

The USA?
And no that was not a democracy either. Not even a flawed one. Just flat out undemocratic. Just like Israel.
Feels like this “flawed democracy” stuff is just window dressing done by countries so they can maintain their undemocratic systems.
