I don't have any problem with there being consequences for his statement. I don't even know what options his constituents have to remove him, to be honest. I just don't think there's only one conclusion to be drawn from him not being punished. Notably in the case of Graham, you talk about his constituents. For Azoulai it's his culture. His constituents are 1700 people.

Do you think that all Americans support a holy war against Islam because Graham wasn't punished? Presumably not. Why do you ascribe the belief to all Israelis here?

I'm not saying all Americans support this unholy war, but not enough are outraged that I think it is a sign of deep cultural problems in our society. Trump is the chief symptom of our insanity. Israel is also a sick society, and that person saying those abhorrent things without any negative impact on his life is a symptom.
