You are judging Israel by American standards. The US is a country of immigrants whose national pride is not based on actual nationality.

Israel is meant to be more like Japan, not like the US: A country for Jews.

Expecting what is essentially a nationalist country to simply accept other nationalities/religions as citizens is disrespectful.

You could make the same racist argument about Japan, but would you do that?

My "judgement" is that it is abhorrent to view African asylum seekers who flee war-torn countries as "cancer". I don't think that is an American standard. I don't think it is disrespectful to claim that it is racist to compare humans with cancer.
