Ethnically no, but Morocco has been “Arabized” in many ways socially, such as by speaking Arabic (granted, that’s not the only language spoken there), adopting Arab practices, etc.
The so- called palestinians chose to leave, and were told to leave by their genocidal leaders. 2 million arabs are israeli citizens and serve in the idf
There are about 10 million people living in Israel. Ten million people with different values, beliefs, religions, skills and jobs. Being anti israelis means being anti humane.
Israel is not a normal country. It arose unnaturally and has continued unnaturally because unlimited support comes from the West, specifically the United States. Therefore, the Arab countries warn of Israel being a foreign body planted among them in the Middle East
But they sided with Israel. When they take down missiles going to Israel, they are siding with Israel. When they ensure nobody shows disapproval towards Israel and posting about them, tbey are siding with Israel. When they deport people who show support for Palestine, they are siding with Israel. When they criticize any attacks on Israel, they are siding with Israel.
People need to understand that the government isn’t there to do what is “right” but to do what is best for their country. Arab nations don’t want any trouble with Israel because they get curb stomped every time and trading with Israel provides far more benefits for their nations so you could probably see why arab countries would rather normalize relations with Israel

Stop rewriting history and playing with the semantics. There was a people living there, call them what you want. The world call them Palestinians, because that's how they were called during the British mandate, that's how they were called during the Ottoman empire, you can trace variations of the name through history all the way to the bronze age, and above all, that was the name used by the UN in 1948 when Israel was created. But if you want to call them something else, that's ok, as long as you acknowledge them as human beings with the same rights and basic necessities as you and I, as long as you acknowledge they have the right to live in an independent country as much as you and I have. Rewriting history and pretending this people doesn't exist only makes you look dumb, it is not a smart thing to say and it does not help at all raising sympathy towards Israel, and what is scaring me in the history we have been living through in the past year, is that naive people like you seem to believe you can continue to propagate that kind of speech without loosing any diplomatic support from the western world, but as France as just proven, there is a limit to how much you can stretch it when it comes to democracies and leaders who have to deal with electors. Israel has been stretching it too far, and the western support has began to fade. I'm scared that if we don't revert this tendency quickly, which obviously requires starting diplomatic solutions and obviously requires acknowledging the country of Palestine, I'm afraid that once the support vanishes, it might not come back so easily, and Israel on its own is not going to make it for more than twenty years, and those would be very painful and violent decades.

Do you understand that you are contributing to stretching the rope tying Israel to the western powerhouse to the point of rupture? Don't be the fool who believes Israel can do whatever it wants without any consequences, don't be the fool who believes crimes against humanity committed towards Palestinians will just be a dark chapter in history books without any consequences to anyone. If you don't want Israel to be yet another example of the saying "what goes around comes around", it is time to stop writing the things you write, every second is one second too late, it is time to start acknowledging Palestinians do exist, and either accept the violent solution of removing illegal settlements and settlers from the Palestinian territories in West Bank, or to accept a new country, call it Israel-Palestine, or the Unites States of Israel and Palestine, or something more creative than that, and accept that the new constitution has to be democratic and above all secular, no religion can be prioritized.
This is why apartheid has lasted so long in Palestine but ended in South Africa. Not a single one of then 52 independent African countries ever sided with apartheid South Africa.
Sentiment towards Israel has shifted. In Morocco for instance, we like Israel. They won the 1948 war, then the 67 and 73 war and the story should have ended there. All countries are created as a result of wars. They are strong and their army is sophisticated, so we look up to them and respect them. However they start showing signs of weakness with radical bigots in power. If we want a chance to get the land back, we should step back and learn until we become strong and hit back with surgical precision, unlike what Hamas did.
Because it is the ONLY democratic nation in the whole region that makes substantial contributions to humanity.

Okay, my friend, redefine that with your definition, because 80% of the Arab people are (terrorists). I know that because what you are saying is ridiculous. What is currently holding the Arab peoples back are the two dictators only.
Even Greek Cypriot ex EOKA B member's sided with the Palestinians and tried to help them out post disbandment. Partly due to the PFLP and PLO helping and training Asala and partly due to both having an occupation. Although EOKA B had possibly received a shipment of assault rifles and ammo originating in Israel via Lebanese Phalange arm's brokers. And it was originally the Cypriot socialists who had connections with the more left wing Palestinian group's.
Its not really that they side with Israel, its that they came to their senses and got sick of war. You dont have to be friends with Israel or even like them, just stop the violence.
Whatever the case was the Arabs lost. Losing wars has consequences. They need to either stay peaceful and not provoke conflicts with someone stronger or find stronger friends.
We truly need to respect the political and diplomatic maneuvering of the Arab states. Balancing their relations with Israel and the United States, even though the decision is highly unpopular with their citizens, while simultaneously striving to maintain their hold on power is an incredibly challenging task. In fact, calling it ‘challenging’ would be an understatement.
Most of the Arab countries are not democracies and public opinion most often doesn't affect an dictatorship's policy choices. The key issue for strongmen leaders of middle East is stability. Which Israel provides happily. Unlike Iran, Israel doesn't want to overthrow governments, it just want to exist itself. Which is absolutely acceptable to most autocracies of the region regardless of their population's opinion.
This skirts the broader strategic issue, namely that the US supports autocratic regimes with weapons and intelligence, to control their own populations, thereby preventing democracy and independent nationalism, such the region will gain control over its own energy resources. Israel acts basically as a military base in the heart of the region to prevent that, and assists the US in that broader goal, first by assisting the autocratic Arab governments with tech and intelligence, and second as a military threat if they or their populations seek to go meaningfully independent. In sum, it serves basically as a colonial entity for US control.
preventing democracy and independent nationalism in arab countries? meaning, the population of these countries wants democracy and independent nationalism? yes, where did you see that, other than in your dreams? The Arab Spring in all Arab countries brought on ever harsher regimes and not democracy. Afganistan and Iraq were offered democracy on a silver plate and didn't take it.
Common Arabs rejected democracy by defeating the Arab Spring, and have chosen for themselves dictators. Now these dictators freely make deals with Israel and the common Arabs cannot do anything about it. You have made your bed now lie in it.
Be more specific. The Israeli's just didn't force out Egypt and Jordan out for no reason. Shipping routes Israel used were closed creating conflict. There had been peace before that happened.

Israel is a modern democracy situated in a region characterized by dictatorships, a lack of democratic governance, and limited tolerance for diverse religions. Life is better in Israel compared to all other middle east countries.

"Palestinians" were not against the creation of Israel in 1948, "Palestinians" were only invented in 1964.
Stop rewriting history and playing with the semantics. There was a people living there, call them what you want. The world call them Palestinians, because that's how they were called during the British mandate, that's how they were called during the Ottoman empire, you can trace variations of the name through history all the way to the bronze age, and above all, that was the name used by the UN in 1948 when Israel was created. But if you want to call them something else, that's ok, as long as you acknowledge them as human beings with the same rights and basic necessities as you and I, as long as you acknowledge they have the right to live in an independent country as much as you and I have. Rewriting history and pretending this people doesn't exist only makes you look dumb, it is not a smart thing to say and it does not help at all raising sympathy towards Israel, and what is scaring me in the history we have been living through in the past year, is that naive people like you seem to believe you can continue to propagate that kind of speech without loosing any diplomatic support from the western world, but as France as just proven, there is a limit to how much you can stretch it when it comes to democracies and leaders who have to deal with electors. Israel has been stretching it too far, and the western support has began to fade. I'm scared that if we don't revert this tendency quickly, which obviously requires starting diplomatic solutions and obviously requires acknowledging the country of Palestine, I'm afraid that once the support vanishes, it might not come back so easily, and Israel on its own is not going to make it for more than twenty years, and those would be very painful and violent decades.

If you don't want Israel to be yet another example of the saying "what goes around comes around", it is time to stop writing the things you write, every second is one second too late, it is time to start acknowledging Palestinians do exist, and either accept the violent solution of removing illegal settlements and settlers from the Palestinian territories in West Bank, or to accept a new country, call it Israel-Palestine, or the Unites States of Israel and Palestine, or something more creative than that, and accept that the new constitution has to be democratic and above all secular, no religion can be prioritized.
This is why apartheid has lasted so long in Palestine but ended in South Africa. Not a single one of then 52 independent African countries ever sided with apartheid South Africa.
Sentiment towards Israel has shifted. In Morocco for instance, we like Israel. They won the 1948 war, then the 67 and 73 war and the story should have ended there. All countries are created as a result of wars. They are strong and their army is sophisticated, so we look up to them and respect them. However they start showing signs of weakness with radical bigots in power. If we want a chance to get the land back, we should step back and learn until we become strong and hit back with surgical precision, unlike what Hamas did.

Okay, my friend, redefine that with your definition, because 80% of the Arab people are (terrorists). I know that because what you are saying is ridiculous. What is currently holding the Arab peoples back are the two dictators only.

Stop saying Arab states, say Arab dictators.
Even Greek Cypriot ex EOKA B member's sided with the Palestinians and tried to help them out post disbandment. Partly due to the PFLP and PLO helping and training Asala and partly due to both having an occupation. Although EOKA B had possibly received a shipment of assault rifles and ammo originating in Israel via Lebanese Phalange arm's brokers. And it was originally the Cypriot socialists who had connections with the more left wing Palestinian group's.
Its not really that they side with Israel, its that they came to their senses and got sick of war. You dont have to be friends with Israel or even like them, just stop the violence.
israel didnt win the war, Europeans did.
Whatever the case was the Arabs lost. Losing wars has consequences. They need to either stay peaceful and not provoke conflicts with someone stronger or find stronger friends.
There is a saying that politics makes strange bedfellows. So does money, for that matter
We truly need to respect the political and diplomatic maneuvering of the Arab states. Balancing their relations with Israel and the United States, even though the decision is highly unpopular with their citizens, while simultaneously striving to maintain their hold on power is an incredibly challenging task. In fact, calling it ‘challenging’ would be an understatement.
oh yes, let's support dictatorships against the will of the people. Sounds about right when talking about american "democracy".
Main problem is Iran !
Most of the Arab countries are not democracies and public opinion most often doesn't affect an dictatorship's policy choices. The key issue for strongmen leaders of middle East is stability. Which Israel provides happily.
Unlike Iran, Israel doesn't want to overthrow governments, it just want to exist itself. Which is absolutely acceptable to most autocracies of the region regardless of their population's opinion.

Saudi Arabia siding with Israel would give the Saudi’s a big advantage against Iran.
As Israeli tech is some of the most advanced in the entire world.
This skirts the broader strategic issue, namely that the US supports autocratic regimes with weapons and intelligence, to control their own populations, thereby preventing democracy and independent nationalism, such the region will gain control over its own energy resources. Israel acts basically as a military base in the heart of the region to prevent that, and assists the US in that broader goal, first by assisting the autocratic Arab governments with tech and intelligence, and second as a military threat if they or their populations seek to go meaningfully independent. In sum, it serves basically as a colonial entity for US control.
preventing democracy and independent nationalism in arab countries? meaning, the population of these countries wants democracy and independent nationalism? yes, where did you see that, other than in your dreams? The Arab Spring in all Arab countries brought on ever harsher regimes and not democracy. Afganistan and Iraq were offered democracy on a silver plate and didn't take it.
Because they aren’t in power by their people, they are in power by using their own role.
Common Arabs rejected democracy by defeating the Arab Spring, and have chosen for themselves dictators. Now these dictators freely make deals with Israel and the common Arabs cannot do anything about it. You have made your bed now lie in it.
