>>There are Moslim Arabs living in Israel and West Jerusalem and they are not being discriminated against by the Israelis, as well.<<

I believe if you research this, you will find that they are discriminated against in a number of key ways. They do not have the same voting rights as Jews. They do not have the same rights to travel. That they cannot marry whomever they want. All of this in furtherance of Israel's "right to exist" as a "Jewish state" American democracy is predicated on ALL men being equal. Israel claims to be the only true democracy in the region, but by objective definition, their democracy is highly flawed.
