> Israel seems to only extend that sort of courtesy to a part of its citizenry

There have been over 100 Arabs in the Israeli parliament: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arab_members_of_the_Kn...

Good for them. But if you're Arab Israeli, you don't have the same slate of rights and representation that Jewish Israelis have. See: freedom of movement to and from the Gaza Strip prior to October 7th.

Arabs has 100% the same rights as Israelis. The freedom of movements to Gaza was not allowed to Jews as well (or every Israeli), since this is an enemy territory.

So I challenge you to find 1 law that treats Jews and Arab citizens differently in Israel

You're mixing up two different things. Arab Israelis (as Israel calls them) are Israeli citizens. They have the same rights as any Israeli citizen.

Freedom of movement to and from the Gaza strip is of Gazans, who are not Israeli citizens, and they indeed don't have the same rights in Israel as Israeli citizens.
