Well it's a good thing that Israel doesn't enforce religious orthodoxy on its citizens (the way gaza does). In fact Muslims, Christians and everybody else all enjoy the same freedoms. A Catholic cannot be Canada's Head of State, but a Muslim can be Israel's:
"The State of Israel … will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture."

Tell me about the Law of Return, Rabbi
Not many are racing to Israel to take advantage of this , why do you ask?
Because it’s predicated on supposed race and not historical inhabitation of the land
They mean every Israeli has an equal sociopolitical right to become Jewish and qualify for aliyah rights. I guess aliyah rights are not sociopolitical then, but I'm not sure of the exact pilpul used to explain that given the Israeli Constitution.
