Many of the points have been discussed previously on different threads. A number of the complaints are outdated (such as the ID card nationality or religion entry). Carrying an ID card is not the law. The usefulness for identification at government offices, banks, etc., only makes it a common practice. Similarly US citizens and residents carry a drivers' liscence for ID.

Religious Jews are now being drafted into the army, with very few exemptions.

There are beaches for religious Jews because of the modesty requirements and segregation of the women from the men. Is this what you refer to as unofficial Jewish-only beaches?

Police brutality? Palestinians are only allowed into Israel with proper authorization.

With a war going on and frequent terror attacts, the only way to prevent them is with constant vigilance. This means apprehending any suspicious person. Brutality is used only in extreme cases.

I have no more time to continue with this, so what remains can be addressed in another post.
