What a joke that is, though. First off, Israel's a modern country in its own right, so it could manufacture weapons if it wanted to (and it does manufacture some of its military gear). The Arab countries likewise get most of their weapons from the US, by the way. Israel was able to develop nuclear weapons because Jews are pro-science.

And "peaceful coexistence of Jews on Palestinian land"? Arabs are illiberal, so they don't tolerate other cultures. To live as a foreigner in a Muslim country is to be a slave to Islam:

"The situation of Jews in Arab lands reached a low point in the 19th century. Jews in most of North Africa (including Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Morocco) were forced to live in ghettos. In Morocco, which contained the largest Jewish community in the Islamic Diaspora, Jews were made to walk barefoot or wear shoes of straw when outside the ghetto. Even Muslim children participated in the degradation of Jews, by throwing stones at them or harassing them in other ways. The frequency of anti-Jewish violence increased, and many Jews were executed on charges of apostasy. Ritual murder accusations against the Jews became commonplace in the Ottoman Empire.

"By the twentieth century, the status of the dhimmi in Muslim lands had not significantly improved. H.E.W. Young, British Vice Consul in Mosul, wrote in 1909:

"The attitude of the Muslims toward the Christians and the Jews is that of a master towards slaves, whom he treats with a certain lordly tolerance so long as they keep their place. Any sign of pretension to equality is promptly repressed.

"The danger for Jews became even greater as a showdown approached in the UN over partition in 1947. The Syrian delegate, Faris el-Khouri, warned: 'Unless the Palestine problem is settled, we shall have difficulty in protecting and safeguarding the Jews in the Arab world.'

"More than a thousand Jews were killed in anti-Jewish rioting during the 1940s in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Yemen. This helped trigger the mass exodus of Jews from Arab countries."
