Israel isn't perfect, and has its own internal tensions, much like the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and basically every other nation.
Trying to use these tensions as a wholesale argument against Israel is like claiming Sweden is an illegitimate country since it's going through social tensions and unrest due to immigration right now.
The level of racism in Israel is unique among Western nations:
* 53% of Israelis say Arabs should be encouraged to leave. Only 51% think they deserve equal rights. 46% say that they would not want to live near Arabs [1]. * 52% of Israeli Jews thinks African migrants are "a cancer" [2]. * 96% of Israeli Jews would be uncomfortable with their child marrying a Muslim, 89% say this about a Christian [3] * 72% of all Israeli Jews thinks it is more important to keep Israel a Jewish majority than to keep Israel democratic [4].

The tell-tale sign of a right-wing bigot is that they use the uninformed "what about Sweden!"-argument. The idea that immigration of brown-skinned people is a threat to their country because, apparently, and unknown to most Swedes, immigration has caused Sweden to collapse.
Israel is meant to be more like Japan, not like the US: A country for Jews.
Expecting what is essentially a nationalist country to simply accept other nationalities/religions as citizens is disrespectful.
You could make the same racist argument about Japan, but would you do that?
You've made like 10 comments in this thread. I'm not accusing you of anything. But before you accuse others of "propaganda", maybe take a look at yourself and see who's behaving somewhat suspiciously in this thread.
Yet you try to paint me as the suspicious one...
