'''Racism in Israel''' encompasses all forms and manifestations of [[racism]] experienced in [[Israel]], irrespective of the colour or creed of the perpetrator and victim, or their [[Israeli nationality law|citizenship]], [[residency (domicile)|residency]], or [[Tourist|visitor]] status. More specifically in the Israeli context, racism in Israel refers to racism directed against [[Israeli Arabs]] by [[Israeli Jews]],<ref>{{cite web|title=ISRAEL-OPT: Upping sticks and heading for Ramallah|url=http://www.irinnews.org/Report/96263/ISRAEL-OPT-Upping-sticks-and-heading-for-Ramallah|work=IRIN humanitarian news and analysis|publisher=UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs|access-date=14 October 2012|author=IRIN|author2=Andreas Hackl |date=7 September 2012}}</ref> intra-Jewish racism between the various [[Jewish ethnic divisions]] (in particular against [[Ethiopian Jews]]),<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/thousands-in-jerusalem-protest-racism-against-ethiopian-israelis-1.407998|title=Thousands in Jerusalem protest racism against Ethiopian Israelis|last=Rosenberg|first=Oz|date=18 January 2012|work=[[Haaretz]]}}</ref> historic and current racism towards [[Mizrahi Jews]] although some believe the dynamics have reversed,<ref name=":1" /> and racism on the part of Israeli Arabs against Israeli Jews.

Some critics have described the [[Law of Return]], which allows all Jews and persons of some Jewish descent to immigrate to Israel as racist, as [[Palestinian refugee]]s are not eligible for citizenship.<ref>Matas, David, ''Aftershock: anti-zionism and anti-semitism'', Dundurn Press Ltd., 2005, p 56-59</ref> [[Palestinians]] and advocates for Palestinian refugee rights criticize the Law of Return, which they compare to the Palestinian claim to a [[right of return]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/MFAArchive/2000_2009/2001/8/The%20Law%20of%20Return-%201950|title=2BackToHomePage3|access-date=27 April 2016}}</ref> These critics consider the Law, as contrasted against the denial of the right of Palestinian refugees to return, as offensive and as institutionalized [[ethnic discrimination]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adc.org/issue_papers/ror/issuepaper30.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010906030431/http://www.adc.org/issue_papers/ror/issuepaper30.PDF|url-status=dead|title=return.PDF<!-- Bot generated title -->|archive-date=September 6, 2001}}</ref>
Supporters of the Law argue that it is consistent with the [[Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination]] Article I(3) which allows for preferential treatments of some groups for purpose of immigration, provided there is no discrimination against a specific nationality.<ref>Israel Yearbook on Human Rights, Volume 15; Volume 1985 By Yoram Dinstein, p. 102-103</ref><ref name="Camera Convention">{{cite web |url=http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=22&x_article=747 |title=From 'Ethnic Cleansing' to Casualty Count |author=Qumsiyeh Errs |publisher=[[Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America]] |date=August 20, 2004}}</ref><ref name="rubinstein"/>
