Sad, but true. Although I'm not sure "racist" is the right term. Maybe ethnic or tribal.

The Israelis are definitely gradually ethnic cleansing the Palestinian areas.

If you & I were to observe a dozen Middle Easterners identically dressed, we most likely would not be able to distinguish the 6 Israeli Jews from the 6 Palestinian Arabs.

albeit, many Palestinians are in fact semites, in the eyes of Israeli's they're all subhuman, dirty Arabs.
That alone is racist bigotry. When a group of people decides that another group of people are subhuman, just mere animals, then it's ok to subjugate, torture and kill at will.
Yeah, it's racism alright.

and I agree with BillZ's thought that 'racist' might not be the right term; will think about it.
