Israel can't really be considered 'sovereign' when they are so dependent on the United States. US says jump, they say.. how high master? For centuries past, the idea that a state could be sovereign was always connected to its ability to guarantee the best interests of its own citizens. Thus, if a state could not act in the best interests of its own citizens, it could not be thought of as a “sovereign” state. Now, seeing as Israel is essentially incapable of doing anything the USA does not want without losing incredible sums of funding, it has essentially given up its ability to have sovereignty. Race has nothing to do with the fact that Israel is essentially a U.S. faction.
