"As far as I understand, about 21% of Israelis are of Arabic descent (and overwhelmingly Muslim), but they are full citizens. "

Not really. Not even Sephardic Jews, who are racially identical to Palestinians, are first-class citizens. They may have legal rights but the treatment they receive is quite different from that of the Ashkenazi majority.

Israeli law openly and unapologetically disfavors non-Jews. If a Jew marries a non-Jew, they may not live under the same roof. And that marriage cannot be performed in Israel.

American racists are overwhelmingly driven by inferiority complexes; they are mostly uneducated, poor, humble of intellect, so they cultivate the belief that others are lower than them.

Israeli bigotry is altogether different, a deeply-held conviction that they are the master race (the "Chosen People") and that others are literally subhuman. There is a wiely-held belief that a killing is only a murder if the victim is a Jew.

Why do we support these people?
