I think perhaps the relevant issue is that the U.S. provides significant financial support to Israel, which is in many ways run as a racist theocracy -- in other words, repugnant to the ideals of the U.S. Constitution. This news notes a move away from the entrenchment of said racist theocracy, and thus is relevant to U.S. citizens' decisions on whether to support or oppose continued financial support to Israel.

The US sends aid to Arab dictatorships where Christians are treated horribly and Jews are shunned. The Palestiniians are ill-treated by Arafat, not Israel, where they have voting rights, and far more rights than say, women have in Arab/Muslim nations.

Israel is also a Parliamentary country without a constiuttion, ideas repugnant to our consitution. This has nothing to do with giving them money.
Israel is not a theocratic anything. Its institutions were set up by Socialists. There are state funded Christian and Islamic schools in Israel.
Non Jews have full rights, although only Jews can emmigrate.
