I can find two laws:

- The racist Jewish National Fund, which manages a big chunk of Israeli land exclusively for Jews, was authorized by the Knesset to refuse to lease land to Arab citizens.

- Arab citizens are not allowed to obtain citizenship for foreign spouses while Jews can.

With regards to the first law, you are either misinformed or simplifying: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_National_Fund#Adalah.27s...

With regards to the second law, that is a result of national security concerns. Spouses of Arab citizens are not allowed to obtain citizenship automatically (they can of course, as I stated above, go through a naturalization process) because if that were the case it would effectively be the Right of Return.
