Also, I am pretty sure you don't have to be Jewish to receive fair rights in Israel. While it is a Jewish state, and you are granted citizenship if you are Jewish, you can still receive citizenship the same way you do in every other country in Israel.
I think both statements you just made are unfair and incorrect. Well, other than the Palestinians not getting a fair deal. But just as people are calling on Israel to back-off and allow Palestine to govern their own state, people had called upon the Arab nations and Palestine to accept the borders drawn in 1948, there would be a Palestinian country still. Instead they underestimated Israel and thought they could wipe it out upon inception.

Yes, I do realize that and those Jewish people were living so in peace and there was no animosity between Muslims and Jews at that time. The trouble started after they wanted their own Jewish state on land that was 95% owned by Palestinians. And they kept year after year and decade after decade building illegal settlements on land that was no theirs.
The Jewish people in Palestine were less than 5% of the population. If it wasn't for the refugees coming over from Europe there is no chance they would have been able to form Israel.
And the treatment of Black people is all you need to look at in Israel that if you are not Jewish or an Israeli you are not treated equally. How can we support a democracy based on religion?
