anything else?... just ring me.
"But I was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation. Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander. Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn't believe them then, and I don't believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous."
Dean Rusk, US Secretary of State
If he didn't want to be called that, then yes, it would be mildly discriminatory, though not necessarily racist.

Have a hunch--actually more than a hunch; very compelling evidence from your comment(s)--that you are being very hypocritical about 'racism' here. You deride the idea that the use of 'Chiney' is racist (and if it is, it is only very mild), and yet you object to legitimate criticism of Israel as being from "Israel and Jew-Haters."
You [shout] 'racism' in your own way as much as the most trigger-poppy anti-racist (more than personally).
This is sort of deja vu, once had an ethnic Jewish (and [very] nominal Jewish--he could have eaten a mushu pork sandwich once, and he dated a Mormon) acquaintance who was quite the verbal racist, making snide comments particularly about Asians, but also about Latinos and those of African descent (and Asian/Latino descendants). However, when faced with the argument that a group of American neo-Nazis had the constitution right to march through a town where a lot of Holocaust survivors lived, he went livid and--as you've done here to a lesser extent--started [shouting] 'racism.' Guess it's acceptable when its another group being maligned, but not when your group is the one being targeted. Anyway, people agreed that the neo-Nazis were bad, and they didn't support their stance, but they could see that constitutionally the neo-Nazis had the right of assembly to demonstrate through the town. The Jewish racist was shocked and proceeded to refer to those constitutional-grounded as 'Nazi.'
So far, the comments here have been neither anti-Israel nor anti-Jewish, and if Mr. Marom was called 'Chiney' here, whether proper or improper, it probably would not be all that tolerated.
