There would be a lot of open "pro Israel" Arabs and Muslims, however:

Muslim Pro-Israel Activist Threatened
A devout Muslim college student in Canada known for her pro-Israel views on campus has received death threats after expressing support for the Jewish state's right to exist.
"As a result of my pro-Israel views, I have received a lot of verbal assault, and a few threats to my life," Sarah Nasser, a third-year student at the University of Toronto told The Jerusalem Post.
"I received some violent resentment from the pro-Palestinian left-wing majority on campus. Most of my Muslim friends do not respect my views," she said.
Born in Canada to parents who migrated from Tanzania, Nasser is a religious Muslim who covers her head with a veil and lives according to the rules of the Koran. She recently return from a visit to Israel, and signed a petition to the United Nations denouncing suicide bombings.
"Being a supporter of the existence of Israel does not conflict with Islam, it complements Islam," she said. "The Koran does not have any verses that do not allow for the Jews to return to the Land of Israel." Nasser says that the North American media fails to portray the "severity" of the Palestinian uprising, and says that the armed uprising is proof that "Yasser Arafat and his followers will do whatever it takes and cause as much bloodshed as is necessary to overtake all of Israel."
Active in campus political groups, Nasser urges the Jewish State to do more to improve its image abroad, saying that pro-Israel Muslims should be brought here to "show them what Israel is like, and equip them with the knowledge to speak out in their communities about how sweet a country Israel is."
"I love Jews as I love true Muslims," she said. "Therefore, I believe Jews should have a right to live legitimately in their homeland."
Yeah she had a visit to Israel and they fed their crap into her and she probalby never steped foot in Palestinian land, There is a difference between supporting Israel and supporting Israel's right to exsist, she supports Israel's right to exsist like many people do including many Palestinians, but dont agree with their actions on the Palestinian people, this girl, doesnt deserv all those threats and those insults, but what can you do when people have a lot of hatred on Israel?
Just cause they dont belive that Israel should exsist doesnt mean that i dont belive that it doesnt exsist, their jews, they have the right to say it, they can enter Israel and live in it, if they open their mouth about Israel they wont be called anti-semetic.
"Just cause" they dont believe that Israel should exist means their opinions are worthless.
Do you want me to go find some Extremist Jew's website, that preaches for the complete transfer of Palestinians out of the West bank, and Gaza strip - and then tell you that's why "I like Jews". ?
Merkava, do you not think anti-zionist jews are scared as well? In my youth, I had to leave my school because it was Jewish and I was an anti-zionist. People seriously wanted to hurt me.
You are brainwashed. You don't realise it works both ways.
Thank you, TWBR. Them websites were very inspiring and taught me a lot of things.
TWBR said this in post #8 : Go ahead, the Extremist Jew, is not a real follower of Judaism, hes just a stupid anti-arab jew.
So I guess, according to this Muslim girl, every Arab that is Anti-Zionist, is not a real follower of Islam, and is just a stupid anti-jewish muslim.

Mmmhmmmm. I guess all of those other Jews back in your school were also the ones who were brainwashed, right?
And your parents? Both Jewish? Both Anti-Zionists?
Of course they were brainwashed, all the time they were fed with crap about how great israel was by all the teachers (even the ones that weren't teaching israel studies or js - jewish studies).
And my parents are jewish, duuh, otherwise i woodn't be (although i suppose i could have converted) and they're both pretty neutral. My Dad is slightly zionist, and my mum is slightly anti-zionist, so there's a good mix and I was allowed to choose which ever path I chose.
So I guess, according to this Muslim girl, every Arab that is Anti-Zionist, is not a real follower of Islam, and is just a stupid anti-jewish muslim.
One thing i hate that is when your an anti-zionist people classify you as anti-semetic, i hate that.
Well i wouldnt mind to see a Jewish state in Palestine, but the way they executed it, is not acceptable, the Quran doesnt say " go into a country, kick out the citizens, commit massacres, and occupy the rest of the land", it doesnt say that, You need to take Islam out of this subject, and suicide bombing doesnt represnt Jihad either.
Anti-Zionists believe that all the Jews in Israel should pack up, and leave their homes. And in general, they could care less if all of those Jews in Israel were slaughtered by terrorist barbarians.
They don't care for those Jews so I feel that they are simply self-hating people.
Have you ever met an Anti-semite that wasn't an Anti-Zionist?
Maybe that should explain why a lot of people make that connection - I don't.
I accept you and your kinds existance - ignorant self haters
Such nonsense. I don't believe that all the Jews should pack up and leave their homes. I think that Israel should be split in half, Palestine and Israel. Unlike the orthadox Jews, I disagree with how the state came into existence and its policies, I don't give a **** about the mashiach crap. And of course we care about the Israelis killed, what's wrong with you, can't you see that? I strongly condemn suicide bombings, I am not like beckyt or TWBR.
How are we self-hating people? I hate zionists who call for the destruction of the entire Palestinian people, not for Jews. Once again, a very feeble argument.
Of course all anti-semites are anti-zionists, that's logical. If you're anti Jewish, then you're bound to be anti-the Jewish state aren't you? But at the same time, there are many people who aren't anti-semites but are anti-zionists.
TWBR said this in post #18 : Zionist, i condem the suicide bombings, but i hold Israel also responsible for them.
So essentially your blamming Israel for existing.
Because you do realize, most Suicide bombers could care less about those "raids" and the "poor plight" of the Palestinian people. They're more than aware that their acts of terror only worsen that plight. Terrorism against Jews existed Before the intifada, Before Sharon visited the temple mount, before the occupation, before the settlements.
There's just ALWAYS an excuse for terrorism against Israelis. And now it doesn't suprise me to hear someone blame Israelis for their own deaths.
Of course, there's little mention of terrorist's constant hiding within the civilian population for protection. I'm sure that had NOTHING to do with the death of innocent Palestinians.
All they [Hamas and company] care about is destroying Israel's economy in hopes of putting the country into a panic so that the rest of the Jewsih population leaves. If you don't believe me, perhaps you should go ask your local Hamas member.
So I guess by this reasoning then the Palestinians cause missiles to explode in public market places.
Sound ridiculous? Maybe because it is, just as ridiculous as Israel causes idiots to blow themselves up in their resturants and then hold an after party to celebrate the carnage.
He's right TWBR. Merkava, he didn't actually mean it's Israel's fault because they existed, but because they provoke them with an attack. Having said that - I still disagree with him.
