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:
