Somehow you appear to want to conflate notions of "citizenship" with "understandings of humanity." News flash--they aren't the same.


In terms of which types of humans are entitled to citizenship in the respective countries, what I said was accurate. The US grants citizenship to all humans born within its borders, regardless - ie, all men are created equal. Israel grants citizenship to Jewish humans regardless of where they were born, and denies it to non-Jewish, non-Israelis - ie, Jewish humans are different than non-Jewish humans. In terms of the two countries values on equality of humans, Israel and the US are quite different.
