Why do you think? And what exactly do you base that on? I know you're a Palestinian supporter but come on dude, calling it a "racist", "genocidal" and "near dictatorship" is a little over the top.
I consider Israel to be racist because it discriminates in its laws based on racial categories. Arab citizens of Israel don't have the same rights as Jewish citizens of Israel, if you immigrate into Israel you get more rights quicker if you are jewish than if you are any other religion. If that's not racist, nothing is.
I consider Israel genocidal because of what it is doing in the lands of Palestine it has occupied since 1967, and what it does to non-jewish citizens of Israel when it wants to displace them from their lands and give it to jewish citizens.
I consider Israel near-dictatorial because it is getting harder for those who dissent from the idea of Eretz Ysrael to have their voices heard, from loss of funding, vicious and pervasive online bullying, official obstructionism and censorship. When two former heads of Shin Bet (itself not known for being too enamoured of democracy or the rule of law) come out and condemn Netenyahoo's current government for instituting a creeping dictatorship, you bet your arse I am paying attention.
