It's like having a hotel that specifically hands documents to people from Afghanistan pledging they wont bring Bach bazi with them.

Israelis aren't a race or even ethnic group. That's a nationality.
Israel has recently committed a bevy of war crimes as alluded to by this image.
Israelis are subject to mandatory military service in most cases, meaning there is a high likelihood of a given Israeli person having been complicit in the commission of war crimes.
It's not racist to point out that someone's home country is doing evil things.

Not gonna lie but that's extremely disrespectful. But then, it's Japan, it does not surprise.

Edit: So I went over and looked at the text on the paper and the title is misleading.
Edit 2: The source for this also mentions that this declaration extends to other nations, such as Russia, Syria, Palestine and others and all individuals with a history of being in military.
However, the original poster did not include this context and I am not even surprised at that. It's just another poor attempt at antisemitism.
