It is far from enough for a country to allow "representation of all
of its citizens" to be a "true democracy".

"The Six-Day War was forced upon us; however,
the war`s seventh day, which began on June 12, 1967,
and has continued to this day, is the product
of our choice.
We chose to become a colonial society, ignoring
international treaties, expropriating lands,
transferring settlers from Israel to the occupied territories,
engaging in theft and
finding justification for all these activities."

"The war`s seventh day", by Michael Ben-Yair, former Attorney General of Israel (1993/1996). Haaretz March 3, 2002,

Ps. "the UN established this little country called Israel."
(Laguna Geno)
This is patently not true.
When the UN decided, in May 1949, to admit Israel as a full member state, it was after it had prevailed over foreign invading armies,
and was already well established.
