It’s not an apartheid nation. Over 20% of Israelis are Arab.

Are they represented in any way in the Knesset? Are they treated the same is Jewish Israeli citizens when travelling? What about the Arabs in East Jerusalem? Are non Jewish citizens actually afforded equal protections under the Basic Laws? Does the "Law of Return" apply to non-Jewish Israelis? Economically, how are the Arabs doing compared to the Jews?

Indeed it does appear they have representation in the Knesset: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arab_members_of_the_Kn...

No idea about the rest of your questions, although the latter two are irrelevant (find any country where every group is doing just as well - it doesn't exist).
