Why Do 22 Arab Countries Fear Israel So Much ? by Masterstroke4: 12:14pm On Sep 29
The Arab World consists of 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa: Algeria,
Bahrain,
The Comoros Islands,
Djibouti,
Egypt,
Iraq,
Jordan,
Kuwait,
Lebanon,
Libya,
Morocco,
Mauritania,
Oman,
Palestine,
Qatar,
Saudi Arabia,
Somalia,
Sudan,
Syria,
Tunisia,
The United Arab Emirates,
Yemen.

The area of Arab states(Gulf Cooperation Council countries) combined is around 26,70,000 sq km, whereas the land area of Israel is estimated to be approximately 20,700 sq km only.
As from the area figures it is known that Israel is 130 times smaller than the area of the GCC countries.

The countries in GCC are:
Bahrain
Qatar
Kuwait
Oman
Saudi Arabia.
United Arab Emirates and other Arab League countries like Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Jordan, and Turkey.

The combined population of these countries is 56,000,000, whereas Israel is only 8,120,000.

Now, comparing the economic aspects, the GDP of GCC countries combined is 3.65 trillion dollars, where it's only 331 million dollars.
The military expenditure of GCC countries is 183 million dollars, and in Israel, it's only 17.2 million dollars.

Apart from these, the Gulf countries have geographic advantages with connectivity from all sides. Major trade corridors pass through the region, whereas Israel is surrounded by enemy countries from all sides.
Even though having such advantages, one might wonder why the Arabs would be scared of Israel.

The significant reason behind this is the technological advancement of Israel over the Gulf states.
Due to this, the Israel armed forces are much more advanced than the Arabs.
The nuclear warheads are a major advantage for Israel, which has a count of 200.

In the case of GCC, it possesses a single-digit number of nuclear warheads total combined. In the case of Israel, it develops its weapons for defence and research, but the weapons and other military equipment of Arab countries are usually purchased from other countries. Due to this, even though the Arab states spend huge amounts on defence, they are backwards compared to Israel.
Israel is well known for its grade missiles and tanks, which can outnumber a larger force.
It is a major exporter of arms and defence equipment in the other hand.
Countries like India, Vietnam, Philippines are major buyers of it. This contributes to Israel's economy.

Israel is A Small Nation But Mighty In Warfare, Striking Fear in its Enemies.

It is evident from history that the Arab -Israel conflict of 1969 that how this small nation not only defended its territory but also managed to capture a large portion of Arab territory.
This was later resolved through peace treaties where the annexed land was freed on conditions. Thus, from this, the dispute continues till now within the region.
In which Israel managed to shift the geopolitical power in the region.

Thus the past incidents and the recent figures show the superiority of Israel over Arab states and point out why Arabs should be scared of Israel

Not all Arabs are against Isreal
Among Arabs, we have Sunnis and Shia Muslims
Shias are the most radical Muslims hated by the Sunnis.
Saudi Arabia is HAPPY with what Isreal is doing.

From Biblical days they have been fighting all and sundry until Pharaoh showed them whom the boss was. After God saved them from their nemesis, they continued fighting any human they see m, until Hitler used 6 million of them as manure to revive German soil for agriculture. God still saved the few of them remaining. Now they and their homosexual and transgender collaborators US, EU, Canada have been killing Arabs for decades, the day of reckoning will come sooner than we expect

Before 1956 Egypt was believed to be the country with the strongest military in the Arab world.
On October 29, 1956, Israeli forces moved across the border, defeated the Egyptian army in the Sinai, captured Sharm al-Sheikh and thereby guaranteed Israeli strategic control over the Straits of Tiran.
You need to watch the documentary of that war.
Egypt was beaten hands down like babies.
After the war, the entire Arab world believe if Israeli force's could invade Egyptian territory and defeat Egypt, then Israel can defeat any Arab country.
So the fear and tension in the middle east started.

"While Arab governments and Palestinian leaders were willing to participate in a new and more reasonable UN peace initiative in 1948, the Israelis assassinated the UN peace mediator, Count Bernadotte, and rejected the suggestion of the Palestine Conciliation Commission (PCC), a UN body, to reopen negotiations. This intransigent view would continue; Avi Shlaim has shown in The Iron Wall that, contrary to the myth that the Palestinians never missed an opportunity to miss peace, it was Israel that constantly rejected the peace offers that were on the table".

Your analysis is wrong. The Arab states fear America not Israel. Without the u.s.a backing, Israel would be obliterated within days.
I used to think God was their military architect before but then realized that God does not fight with might of arms and that America is always lurking around there with aircraft carriers and marines.
The game will be up when Iran acquires nuclear weapons in the not too distant future and all bets will be off.

That is the problem you should ask all Islamic nations that tried to obey what Mohammad and Quran told them to hate Jews and kill them.

Isreal is never the problem, Islamic nations are the problem that see Isreal as enemies by force. Is Isreal not a friend to many other Christian nations worldwide? Islam should be reform, hatred in the Quran is more than love in the Quran and that is what is causing problem, not isreal
