Israel is 'racist'?Israel is the most powerful racist entity on the planet. More racist than the KKK or Black Panthers. Israel is not an ally of the USA. Israel has never been and never will be an ally of the USA.
So-called 'native' Palestinians (Muslim-Arabs) are a polyglut of peoples from the land itself and the surrounding lands - more of a genetic ghoulash than many other parts of the world - so, I'm not sure that we can call the Palestinians a 'race'.
But Israel is, indeed, in the process of establishing and consolidating a National Home for the Jews - adherents (and the descendants of adherents) of Judaism in its diverse branches and offshoots - including true Semitic Jews, Russian Jews, European Jews, Ethiopian Jews, Egyptian and Berber Jews, and related regions and sources.
Rather than a 'race' of Jews, we are looking at the Jewish Religion, in the process of a Reconquista of the Holy Land - akin to the Spanish Reconquista, which lasted for centuries, and which corrected a long-standing and invasive Muslim presence in Spain, which ended in the reunification of that land, ending the Muslim foothold in Western Europe.
In the case of the Jews, in our present age, this means that they are pushing-out those who stand in their way; allowing non-Jews (Muslims and Christians) to remain in-place so long as they do not actively resist this Reconquista, but firmly pushing-out those who do.
The last 66+ years (since 1948) have been all about this process, and are symmetrical with the expulsion of over 1,000,000 Jews from Muslim-dominated countries in the period 1948-1975, in which Jewish citizens of those countries were uprooted and ejected, or otherwise pressured to leave, simply because of their religious confession.
This is no different, and, in the case of the Jews, they have no place else to go, as a People - and their adversaries pose an existential threat directed towards them, unlike the peaceful Jews expelled by their Muslim countrymen in other regions.
And, given the second-class citizenship status of non-Muslims in several nearby Muslim-dominated countries, and the history of Dhimmitude with which Islam has lorded it over Unbelievers throughout the long centuries, this pushing-out and pressuring of non-Jews, to quit the land, and to pack up and leave, is as much payback as it is something new.
I don't think the Jews of Israel are 'racist' - merely insistent upon Israel becoming primarily a place for Jews of all races.
Hell, the home base of Islam - Arabia - and its cities of Mecca and Medina - are not exactly welcoming of non-Muslims, and that's right next-door to Israel.
As to Israel being an ally of the US or not...
I think Israel is a better ally than any of the other regional powers could ever be...
There are flaws in the relationship, and, every so often, one of us or the other screws-over its counterpart, in some minor way or another, but, given the diversity and differences of interests and priorities and motives, it's a genuine alliance, on a par with those of several of our European allies.
"So-called 'native' Palestinians (Muslim-Arabs) are a polyglut of peoples from the land itself and the surrounding lands - more of a genetic ghoulash than many other parts of the world - so, I'm not sure that we can call the Palestinians a 'race'."
I am afraid you have the false impression that racial discrimination or "racism", as a legal term, refers only to race.
