America's "solidarity" with Israel

Israel has been roundly condemned for recently evicting nine Palestinian families in East Jerusalem in order to let in Jewish settlers into an historically Arab neighborhood. The most important thing to note from this Israeli decision is not that Israel is exercising its (illegal) claim of sovereignty in Jerusalem by enforcing Israeli laws there, but that this is stark proof that Israel's laws are racist, with separate legal systems for Jews and Arabs. Not my words, but those of an Israeli Jew commenting in Haaretz:

Somewhere, perhaps in a refugee camp in terrible poverty, lives the family of the farmer who plowed the land where my house now stands. According to the Israeli judicial system, they have the right to get their land back immediately, destroy my house, return and grow Jaffa oranges for export on its ruins, and remove me by force if necessary. The Jerusalem District Court, which recently ruled that representatives of the Sephardi community committee had the right to take back the Hanun and Gawi families' apartments in East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, has opened the 1948 file. That is, if Israel had an egalitarian system of law and justice, if the legal system were fair, because then millions of Palestinians would be able to applaud the court and demonstrate their joy in the streets at the ruling.

Of course, that is not how this issue as a whole is seen in some parts of America:

A U.S. delegation of Republican congressmen visiting Israel on Thursday said that the Obama administration's policy on Israel is misguided, puts too much emphasis on the issue of settlements and ignores the bigger threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.

And, the best part of all:

Cantor and others supported Israel's handling of the eviction of two Arab
families from a house in east Jerusalem earlier this week, a move criticized by the European Union and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"I don't think we, in America, would want another country telling us how to implement and execute our laws," Cantor said.

My question: does the American public even know what Israeli laws and policies we're supporting?

That commenter, Gideon Levy, has been dismissed as a self-hating Jew. Perhaps we ought to consider for a moment whether he is actually right. If he is, how do we justify solidarity with such policies?
