Yes, very much so. Here's what I wrote over there:
"The distinction I meant to draw was between the many Israeli policies supported by 'liberal' Zionists which clearly, right on paper, discriminate on a racial basis, and those in Western countries, which do not. I think there's a meaningful difference, for example, between American redlining and Israeli land covenants, which restrict the use of 93% of its territory on an explicitly racial basis."
... To cite one example. Here's a database of racist laws, with varying degrees of explicitness:
