I am not sure what "control" means. There are no Autonomous Arab Regions within Israel, if that is what the question is asking. Arabs are relatively integrated into the Israeli political structure with their own political parties as well as having candidates on the rolls of predominantly Jewish parties. In fact, there is a Druze Arab in almost every major political party in the current Knesset.

In terms of locally, there are a number of townships and cities (Nazareth and Umm el-Fahm are the largest) that are overwhelmingly Arab in population and therefore have a city board and legislative council made up overwhelmingly of Arabs. However, these cities do not have unique laws that strengthen Arab culture or implement punishments and laws that contravene general Israeli standards.

Why did Palestinians flee what is now known as Israel?

Answer 1"Invaders arrived with guns and forced them out."Answer 2Answer 1 is a rhetorical answer to this rhetorical question, when in fact a more accurate statement might be: Arabs that remained in Israel and whom chose to live peacefully became what is known as Israeli Arabs, and Arabs that either participated in pogroms or sided with Arab nations who sought Israel's destruction Identified themselves as "Palestinian".Arabs prior to the six day war in 1967, were given aid from Arab nations and were informed that if they remained after the loss of the Jordanian controlled (woe to Jordan if they were to establish a homeland for the Palestinians when they had a chance) West bank, they would lose this aid and Arab propaganda told them they would have no safe haven.Additionally, many Native Palestinian Arabs residing in Jordan (also part of the original Palestinian mandate) were not recognized by the ruling family in Jordan favored by the Brittish for fighting the Turks during WWI, rose up against the Jordanians and were massacred on a very large scale by the Jordanians. (For more information read about the founding of the PLO and Black September.) Today, of course The King of Jordan styles himself as a Champion of Palestinian Rights and argues for the "Right of Return" as he would be happy to rid his own country of any Malcontents.Arab Nations continue to exploit the Arabs that remained in Israel as a method of creating political and security problems as they were unable to destroy Israel in conventional wars.Surely, Palestinian Arabs are the odd men out in middle eastern Politics as are the Kurds, Turkmen, Assyrians, and the Copts (who live under Arab rule with no homeland). But placing the blame exclusively on the founding of Israel is unbalanced.


Who did Israel help in the Peloponnesian War?

At the time of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE) Israel was under control of the Persian Empire, and so in no position to intervene in any of the Greek wars, not that it would have had any reason to meddle in Greek affairs anyway.

Why do Jews hate Arabs?

First, it's important to note that not all Arabs hate all Jews, nor do all Jews hate all Arabs. This misconception is often promoted due to the Palestine-Israel conflict. Many Arabs, and for that matter, non-Arabs do not like what the Israeli government does, but this should not be mistaken for anti-Semitism.Keep this mind when reading the answers below.Answer 1Ignorance, just like any other form of racism.Answer 2See the link below to "What are the causes of the Jewish-Arab Conflict" which alludes to a number of conflicts between Arabs and Jews. Much of Arab hatred for Jews stems from these issues. Also see the link to "Why do Muslims hate Jews?" which explains many other reasons for such hatred. It is important to note, however, that hatred of the other is present only in a minority of each side. It just so happens that the minority is very vocal.Answer 3Not really. Jew have always lived in Arab communities for centuries in various locations, such as Iraq and Egypt. Arab are not known for discrimination against Jews or Christians.There is a current conflict between Arabs and Israelis in the Middle East due to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. This one conflict, however, should not be used to taint Arab-Jewish relation.Answer 4Arabs are angered primarily, as concerns the Jews, with the issues in Palestine where Jews forcibly resettled and eliminated hundreds of Palestinian cities. This grave violation of the Rights of the Palestinians greatly incenses the Arabs. Another issue that bothers the Arabs is the Jews have, in spite of their numbers, garnered an important place in the world economy. Even though most rational Arabs realize that Jews do not actually control the economy, there are a disproportionate number of Jews in prominent economic and political positions, whereas Arabs have been almost completely excluded from the World Economy. Arabs are also angry that Israel appears to be expanding its territory with its conquest of the Sinai Peninsula on two separate occasions, its annexation of the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem (in contravention of the Arab understanding of UN Resolution 242) and continued settlement of the West Bank. Jews outside of Israel do not criticize these actions.

What area do the Arabs own in Israel?

It depends on who you mean by "the Arabs". If you are referring to Arab citizens of any state, even Israel, then most Arab land-holdings are in the Galilee region in the north of Israel, although there is a significant Arab population with land-holdings in Haifa, Acre, and Jerusalem. If you are referring to Arab governments, the Arabs own no territory in the State of Israel. Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority controls parts of the West Bank, neither of which are in sovereign Israeli territory.

Is the Gaza Stripe part of Israel?

The Gaza Strip is an anomaly. It was part of Egypt, but when Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty, Egypt refused to take back the Gaza Strip. Under international law, it was considered part of Israel, but Israel does not believe in occupying other areas, so they declined to take over the Gaza Strip. It is not part of any country, nor is it independent.
