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.
I have my own criticisms of the Israeli government too, it certainly isn't perfect but I support still Israel, a fairly secular but still firmly Jewish state. Why do you support this so-called Palestine, a "state" of Islamic extremism and anti-Semitism?
The two state solution is the way forward, as long as Palestinians stop their anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli rhetoric. Israel has the right to exist and it will always exist even if it has to fight for its survival.
