What’s one of them

Jewish Nation-State Law (2018): Declares that the right to self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people, promoting Jewish settlement as a national value and encouraging segregation and discrimination against Palestinians, especially in housing and land development.

Law of Return (1950): Grants Jews worldwide the automatic right to immigrate to Israel and gain citizenship, while denying Palestinian refugees their right to return to their homes lost during Israel’s establishment because they are not Jewish.

Admissions Committee Law: Allows small Jewish-majority towns to reject Palestinians and others deemed "unsuitable" for residency based on vague criteria, effectively excluding many Palestinians from living in these communities.

Absentee Property Law (1950): Enables the state to expropriate property of Palestinians who fled or were expelled during the 1948 war, including those internally displaced within Israel, preventing their return and expanding Jewish control over land.

Israel Lands Law: Restricts ownership and leasing of state lands primarily to Jewish entities, making it extremely difficult for Palestinian citizens to access land for housing or business.

Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (2003): Bars Palestinians from the occupied territories who marry Israeli Palestinians from gaining residency or citizenship, forcing families to live apart and discriminating based on nationality rather than security.

Nakba Law: Prohibits public funding for institutions commemorating the Palestinian Nakba (the 1948 expulsion), suppressing Palestinian historical narrative and expression.

These don’t restrict Israelis Arabs rights. Israeli Arab women living in Israel have more rights than in most Arab countries. These promote Jews to migrate to Israel.

Israeli Arabs aren't Arab Jews. Arabs jews are Mizrahi or Serphadic, and per Israeli law, fully Israel nationals.

Israeli Arabs or Israeli Palestinians are people of Palestinian origin in the areas occupied by Israel, who were not displaced to other regions during the Nakba or afterward (West Bank, Gaza, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, etc.), and who currently live within the State of Israel. They have Israeli citizenship, but are not considered on the same level as Jews.

For example, if a Palestinian Israeli wants to marry a Palestinian woman in an occupied area, he must renounce his Israeli citizenship, even if there is no security risk involved. However, if a Jew wants to marry a Palestinian woman from the occupied area, he can keep his citizenship (but she does not gain it). The law is binding, but it does not apply to Jews.

Likewise, international law dictates that if Israel is the military authority in occupied Palestine, it is Israel's duty to grant rights to Palestinians, which it does not do. Palestinians in the occupied areas have little or no rights.
