Israel/Palestine

They all smack of the idea of "white privilege", which automatically assumes the superiority of one ethnicity over the other. Again, this is not how any other democratic state treats ethnic groups. Every non-Israeli democracy is a state of all its citizens, with no legal preference for a certain ethnicity either as a group or as individuals, and no legal preference for any cultural expression or a certain religion.

In the US, Germany, Sweden or any other real democracy all citizens are part of the country's nationality: American, German, Swedish etc. Think about it - there are people in the Jewish state who aren't Jews and who will never receive a Jewish nationality. It's tantamount to have US citizens who could never legally become Americans due to their ethnicity...

I personally think that this flat out denial that there's anything even remotely wrong with Israel's democracy is an untenable position. It would be much better if supporters of Israel could at least admit there are some things that need fixing. Denying that the problem even exists only reinforces the feeling that something must be done.
