Israel is 20% Palestinian Arab.
Hebrew AND Arabic are offical languages, on an equal par.
Israel has no laws which discriminate against people for their race, religion, or national country of origin.
Israel protects the religious sites of other religions, be they Muslim, Christian, or Bahai.
Is Israel perfect? No! Does Israel have a problem with racism and sexism? Yes!

But relative to all of Israel's neighbors, it is a refuge of freedom, free speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.

Contrast that with 22 Arab/Muslim countries that Chomsky thinks are "irrelevant" to the discussion.

As for Israel's "expansion" it reduced its territory by 94% in 1979 and is prepared to withdraw from Gaza and several cities on the West Bank. Chomsky blurs US policy with Israeli policy which is not fair. Each country should be judged on its own merits.
