He's not just "some rabbi", he is the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel.

The Israeli state is based on an idea of Jewish racial superiority. What else do you expect?

That's so wrong, what's your argument in support of that?

It's quite simple: Israel defines Jews as a race. Israel was established on creating a Jewish state in Palestine at the expense of the rights of the Palestinians (they expelled most of them in 1948 and oppress the rest). They try their best to make sure that Jews comprise the majority in Israel. Non-Jews suffer widespread discrimination.
A Jew can come from anywhere in the world to claim citizenship, while a Palestinian refugee living in Gaza or anywhere else cannot even return.

What widespread discrimination do non Jewish Israelis face?
1
-
Discrimination has been claimed regarding ownership and leasing of land in Israel, because approximately 13% of Israel's land, owned by the Jewish National Fund, is restricted to Jewish ownership and tenancy, and Arabs are prevented from buying or leasing that land.
-
Some critics have described the Law of Return, which allows all Jews and persons of some Jewish descent to immigrate to Israel as racist, as Palestinian refugees are not eligible for citizenship
-
Government funding favors Jews of Arabs. Lior Dattel (2014) published an article in Haaretz stating that, “Arab high school students from weak socioeconomic backgrounds receive 42 per cent less ministry funding than Jews from a similar background.”18 Moreover, in terms of annual expenditure per student, a report from the Legal Centre for Arab Minority Rights in Israel (Adalah) states that public investment per Jewish student is NIS 1,778 per student, three times higher than investment per Arab student, which reaches an average of just NIS 534.

I'm embarrassed as an American. We're a democracy in danger.

As long as wealthy people can lobby/bribe politicians LEGALLY, there is no democracy in the U.S.
Extremely popular policies do not get enacted if the moneyed interests are against it.
9
You're a danger to democracy. (Not you, America)

The USG he means..

I think that happened when corporations were judged to be people and money judged to be free speech. The horse is long gone.

USA have no Democracy, its all fake, wake up

Perhaps he has turned his back on ignorant hateful racism in favor of Brotherly Love of All Mankind.

Nothing like being blessed by someone with the same ideals as you and your family.

In other news, Elon Musk has admitted that despite his best efforts, he occasionally thinks things that he would never say.

To be fair, I’m getting married by a priest in under a year and I have no fucking clue what he’s said or done prior. I’ve looked him up and he seems clean, but honestly who truly knows.
Yet, I get these two should be more aware than others because they’re in such influential positions. This isn’t a surprise to me at all.
I mean, a simple Google search like you just admitted to doing for a wedding probably would have shown that. And Jared and Ivanka have teams of experts whose job is to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen.
True, but “diplomats” (kills me to say they’re unelected US representatives) meet terrible people all the time. I’m not sure how big a deal this really is, but it’s definitely not a good look.
