True but this doesn't mean non-Jewish Israelis are barred from serving in the military or civil service.

True. But there are parts of the military that non-Jewish Israelis are barred from.

Right but if this is practiced in hundreds of countries around the world, it's a moot point.

The fact that many countries discriminate by race doesn't change the fact that it is, in fact, discrimination by race.

Incidentally I strongly doubt that we're talking about hundreds of countries. As of 2006 the UN had 192 member countries. And I know that many of them (eg Canada, England and France) do not have anything resembling the Jewish Right of Return.
