Not that I know!
Although Israel consists of 75% Jews (half of them were brought over during the last 15 years in order to change the demographic status of the country) and 25% Muslim and Christian arabs, only Jews can immigrate to Israel.
A good friend of mine, who is a christian arab, married a christian arab from Jordan which he loved, but the Israeli authorities declined to let her enter the country and offered him to marry a local!!!!
ONLY JEWS CAN IMMIGRATE TO ISRAEL and if you are not a jew, you have no chance of become an Israeli citizen (if you aren't already) unless you change your religion into Judaism. I even have a Jewish friend which married a christian Argentinian woman, and she was declined a citizenship unless she converts to Judaism as she did (a matter which takes over a year)!
To Sami from above- what you are stating is absolutely not true, I'm not sure if your aim is cheap propoganda or just ignorance, but it is certainly not true and I can prove it!!!

Israel is democracy for Jews only.If you are a Jew living in Israel you get all what you want but if you are Palestinian Christian or Muslim you are a second class human. This why Israel does not have a constitution up to now to define citizenship or borders and the rest. Israel is living under the Brit sh Emergency laws for yeas now.

You must keep in mind that the Jews are actually a different race of people that predominately practice the religion of Judaism...there's a difference.
Nazi's did not exempt Jews that didn't practice Judaism from concentration camps...it was the Jewish RACE that they hated, not the religion.
I don't know anything about Israeli citizenship-but I just wanted to clarify the difference between the religion and the race.

Vatican citizenship is granted to those who work in Vatican City. In order to be a member of the clergy or the Swiss Guard (the Vatican's army), one must be Roman Catholic. However, spouses are also granted citizenship, and they do not necessarily have to be Catholic.
Other states, particularly Islamic and Communist ones, restrict freedom of religion to the extent that those who do not accept the approved faith (or lack thereof) are treated as lesser citizens. They may be denied opportunities, imprisoned, or even killed by their governments for not having the "right" beliefs.

You don't have to practice Judaism to be an Israeli, there are over 1000000 Muslim Arabs, some Christians, and any number of secular Jews.

pretty much true, Saudi might also be an exception to the general case of tolerance world wide.

No, in Muslim/Islamic countries, if you are not a Muslim, you are not even considered human. Muslims consider non-Muslims as dogs and sub-humans...
