In answer to your questions: Yes , Israel recognizes the rights of its non-Jewish citizens to move about, vote and attain an education.
On the” Chosen People” issue here’s part of something I wrote a while ago on this forum:

On being “Chosen”: the concept itself exists and is undeniable : observant and traditional Jews include in their prayers a blessing to God who “chose us from among the nations”. Also the well-known “Aleinu” prayer gives thanks for creating us different, “and our destiny is not the same” [as that of other nations].

Although we refer to ourselves as G-d's chosen people, we do not believe that G-d chose the Jews because of any inherent superiority. According to the Talmud (Avodah Zarah 2b), G-d offered the Torah to all the nations of the earth, and the Jews were the only ones who accepted it. The story goes on to say that the Jews were offered the Torah last, and accepted it only because G-d held a mountain over their heads! (In Ex. 19:17, the words generally translated as "at the foot of the mountain" literally mean "underneath the mountain"!) Another traditional story suggests that G-d chose the Jewish nation because they were the lowliest of nations, and their success would be attributed to G-d's might rather than their own ability.

It has always been so, but what has changed is the morality of the owners. And, indeed, of pressure groups. Scruples have gone out of fashion. Being able to “get away” with something is assimilated to a right to do it. The BBC is no better and no worse than anyone else, and the drop in standards is no greater there than anywhere else. Because of anonymity, undeclared pseudonyms, false flagging, etc, the internet is a liar’s paradise far beyond anything the BBC could ever get away with. In terms of the media, therefore, you should distrust the BBC to same extent, and for the same reasons, as you distrust, for example, Stuart Littlewood. Or, for that matter, me!
