Strange take. Presumably if Israel was replaced with a non-ethnostate, Jewish citizens of that state would get the same rights and treatment as every other citizen.

Exactly.

If the USA tried to again be a White/European ethnostate and allow anyone with Caucasian heritage to immigrate and barred everyone else from immigrating, then no one today would accept that.

And if they went full on apartheid and started putting natives and minorities in locked down ever-shrinking reservations, people would really lose their shit.

When white nationalists try to advocate for such policies, they are rightfully criticized for being racist.

I can never understand why Israel gets special treatment in that regard.

Native Americans are still getting the shaft, so the US is still a settler-colonial state. It’s also the sole global neocolonial empire*, and Israel is its unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia. As Biden has said for decades, “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.”

*It’s funny how NATOpedia tries to project debt-trap diplomacy onto China. The US has over 750 foreign bases around the world, while China has one anti-piracy port in Djibouti.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The USA is a settler state, tf are you talking about mate? Or does it require someone from a ex-colony to explain you the what's and how's?

Ecocide? Very much visible, many lakes and forests have been destroyed and polluted, lands have been turned into concrete jungle of highways.
Linguicide? Obviously, no one speaks and practices the language and culture of the native Americans in their own land. Can you? No, English is not their language.
Apartheid? Areas where the native Americans live are very underdeveloped. Their right to vote is suppressed. Access to healthcare is abysmal. Isn't that apartheid?
Poverty? Yes, the Native American is the most impoverished groups in the USA.
Political representation? Almost nonexistent compared to other groups. Name a few popular native American politician, I'll wait.
Right to self-determination? Most of their lands are under the control of imperialist white men and their crony capitalist buddies.

The USA is the most unhinged form of evolutionary neo-colonialist project, a produced of primitive capitalism gone rogue and rabid, mimicking the "success" of the East India companies by colonizer European states. Death to imperialism, death to America.

But literally no one with power in the current situation wants a non-ethnostate.
