Muslims do not have full rights, especially those who were murdered and had their land stolen. Do Muslims have the right of return? No. Can any Jew become an Israeli citizen? Yes. There are many other discrepancies.

Israeli Muslims have full equal rights. They can leave, they can return, their children are Israeli citizens by birthright. They have the same citizenship rules as Jewish Israelis.

Muslims that are not Israeli do not have rights in Israel, that’s how every country operates. When the state of Israel was created, citizenship was given to all Muslims within its borders (which also correlated with the Arabs that did not take up arms against the Jews or run to join the other side).

Separately, Israel has a special immigration law for Jews. That is discriminatory - it’s positive discrimination. But it still does not in any way affect the rights of Israeli Muslims.

This is the definition of apartheid. There are many other examples:

That is not the definition of apartheid.

Are the Muslim countries that currently deny entry to Jews apartheids?

That's the exact definition of apartheid. Being jewish should never be a qualification for immigration, it's a religion.
So are the Muslim countries that currently deny entry to Jews all apartheids?
Again, being Jewish does not give someone special immigration status. It’s completely orthogonal to citizenship. That Israel goes against this principle is what makes it an apartheid colony.
