Officially, it is a Jewish state though. It's laws and government are based on the Jewish religion and culture. Things like property ownership and immigration are biased toward people with a Jewish heritage. Despite this, it's worth noting that Arabs in Israel still enjoy a higher level of freedom and higher standard of living than Arabs in most other ME countries.
