In fact Arab countries have a history of expelling and murdering Jews. Israel on the other hand welcomes Arabs (et al), to become citizens of the state; those who are sincere, and those who do not threaten Israelis and those who do not intend to do Israelis harm.
There are no democracies in the Middle East except for Israel. A democracy is a rule of the majority while it also protects the rights of minorities. In Israel there is no constitution, but the Israeli Declaration of Independence provides and insures that the rights of non-Jews will be protected and they are - to the extent that non-Jews may participate in the electoral process and government and are free to make choices which will better benefit them. You cannot say the same about any Arab-Muslim country. "The Declaration of Independence affirms that Israel will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; that it will be based on the foundations of liberty, justice and peace; that it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all of its citizens, irrespective of religion, race or sex; and that it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture. Furthermore, two Basic Laws guarantee the basic rights and liberties of all citizens. Basic Law: Human Dignity and Freedom (1992) purports to protect human dignity and freedom in order to anchor the values of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. It maintains that a human being's property must not be harmed; that every person is entitled to the protection of his or her life, body and dignity; and that no person's freedom may be taken or restricted by arrest, imprisonment, or extradition, or in any other manner. In turn, Basic Law: Freedom of Occupation (1992) holds that every citizen or resident of the state is entitled to engage in any occupation, profession or line of work, and that every governmental agency must respect the freedom of occupation of every citizen or resident."
