Israel's survival relies upon excluding people on the basis of their ethnicity and religion. This is inherently problematic, particularly given the ethnic and religious makeup of the people who were there when Israel was formed.

None of what you wrote above is true, where did you read any of this? Is it something you believe? There is only one law regarding religion in Israeli immigration, and that is Jews have a right to move to Israel. Other people, just like Canada, can apply to move there. Citizenship is citizenship. If you are an arab citizen, you can run for politics, be in the police, be a doctor, anything. Israel's survival depends not on excluding people, but on educating their people.
