He told me that non-Jews must display special License plates on their cars to show that they are not Jew. (Much like Star of David that Jews were forced to wear during Nazi Oppression). Also, there are different sidewalks for Non-Jews. And simple natural resources such as water are not given to Non-Jews. Are Jewish people really killing innocent palestians just to take over their lands? Could this be true? I would expect better from people that were racially discriminated against themselves in the past...

there are places in israel that only non jews are allowed to go
like the temple mount jews are not allowed to go there
the armenian quarter in the old city jerusalem is only for christians
areas like jericho nablus the army will not allow jews to go there
wierd country, the jews run it but they cant go, the rest of the world can
so yes there are different sidewalks for non jews like the ones in these places - cause their not for jews
gaza and westbank - palestinian run areas cannot buy or pay a water bill water like the jews
they get water free the israeli govt pays

Total rubbish, your friend is completely misinformed. There are no differences between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens of the state. All are free to live in the same areas, drive the same cars, with the same license plates and so on.
The differences in license plates is between cars registered in the Palestinian Authority (West Bank and Gaza) and those registered in Israel- which makes sense since they have different governments!
As for killing of innocents, the only ones doing that are the Palestinian terrorists who blow themselves up at Pizza Parlours and weddings, use machine guns to mow down children as they leave school and so on. The times when there have been incidents where Palestinian innocents have been unfortunately killed are generally as a result of the terrorists using them as shields, using their homes as bases tfrom which to launch attacks and so on.

Your allegations are biased and totally false. I spent my last summer touring the entire Israel and this is what I saw:
1) Not once did I come across a car with a special license plate. They all look exactly the same and I have been everywhere.
2) There is no such thing as separate sidewalks. That is the stupidest thing I ever heard of. Israel is a major tourist attraction. The economy survives on tourism - it would fall apart without it. The Israelis love toursit and they come from all backgrounds. There are Jewish tourist, Christian, Muslim, atheist, and any other religion you can think of. The non-Jews are allowed to go everywhere - even to the Holiest jewish sites. Why would they be allowed to go there and not be able to walk the same streets? Secondly Israel is tiny and cramped. There aren't too many ways to get to the same (tourist) spot. Do you really think that it is a priority to them to make separate sidewalks? Use you common sense!
3) We dont keep others from going anywhere. If anything the Arabs living there are so dangerous that Jewish Israelis are kept from going there = their own country, out of fear of being beaten and killed (which has happened countless times. Too bad for you if you make a wrong turn).
4) Jewish people are not killing innocent Palestinians. There is nothing innocent about them at all. There are thousands of israeli civilians who have been killed, or worse, disfigured for the rest of their lives do to Palestinian suicide bombers. What are the Israelis to do? Let them coninue going to our malls, buses, shuls and homes and blowing themselves up while taking countless lives. That would be irresponsible!
Yes, when we hear about someone who is planning on killing hundreds of Israelis children we try to get to them first and kill them. And if killing 5 Palestinian militants comes with the expense of the life of 1 or 2 Palestinian civilians too bad on them. Our lives are just as important as theirs. Maybe they shouldnt work all their lives to convince their children, brothers and friends to blow up other. - and then when they are hurt they complain. All we want is peace. All they want is Jewish blood.
There was this thing going on that when someone agreed to be a suicide bomber his family would receive a lot of money when he blew himself up along with innocent others. This was a bing incentive for them and many parents convinced their children to do it for glory, fame and money. So then, Israelis came up with an idea - when they found out who a suicide bomber was they went to his families home and bulldozed it (not hurting anyone but the house itself) Maybe this would stop them from doing it just for the money.
So who's in the wrong here? The israelis who are trying to protects themselves so that they can lead normal lives or the Palestinians whose only goal is to KILL, KILL, KILL AND KILL AND KILL...........

Actually those statements are false. That is just blatant ignorance. Israeli Arabs have the highest standard of living in the middle east.
What Israel wants is peace.

People in Syria, like people everywhere in the Arab/Muslim world, are constantly poisoned with anti-Semitic propaganda, mostly stuff rehashed from Nazi Germany.

Acutely it's not that surprising.
Similarities are found in psychology.
