Re the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish nation, what are the countries that deny Israel either de facto or de jure and are democracies, defined by being at least 6.00+ on the economist democracy index?

I can't really find a list elsewhere other than manually checking Wikipedia, so I'm just posting an answer based on what I checked on Wikipedia.

Question: But anyway, where could I have found some list that shows this s.t. I didn't need to reinvent the wheel, assuming I'm correct? And if I'm incorrect, then please point out why by either showing such a list or manually double checking my answer. If you show a list, then feel free to use an alternative definition of democracy, hopefully based on a measure/indicator.

I can't really find a list elsewhere other than manually checking Wikipedia, so here's the result of manually checking Wikipedia.

1st

All the states (whether democracy or dictatorship) that don't recognise Israel de jure:

2nd

Manually (so I could be wrong!) checking each on economist democracy index gives just 4 democracies for de jure rejection:

  1. Indonesia - both
  2. Jamaica - de jure rejection but de facto acceptance
  3. Malaysia - both
  4. Trinidad and Tobago - de jure rejection but de facto acceptance

Notes:

  1. The only 2 democracies that reject Israel both de jure & de facto are Indonesia & Malaysia. Both are Muslim majority countries.

  2. T.E.D. points out TEDI says all 4 are flawed not full. And you might say 'Aha, they're not "real" democracies!' But then again Israel & US are flawed too. So, well, so much for that.

    Having text rather than images would be far better

    If text is hard, a link to the relevant Wikipedia page would help. (I get that it's in the question, but it's hard to find.)

    Technically, all 4 are classified as "flawed democracies" rather than "full democracies". For comparison's sake, so is the USA.

    @T.E.D. what reference are you using for that classification? Which categorisation system/scale are you referencing?

    @ChrisHalcrow - The latest Economist Democracy index, just like the answer said.
