Answer 2

In all the Middle East, both Israelis and Palestinians have the most in common with Kurds. In fact, Kurds have genes incredibly similar to that of native Hebrews. However, Kurds (like Palestinians) do not have their own country, so that isn't valid.

Rather amusingly, Israelis have quite a bit in common with Iran, the Muslim country with the largest population of Jews and one of the few other non-Arab countries in the region (I'm sure we've all heard the "Arabs have 22 countries" lie, but they have eighteen--Afghanistan is Azeri, Iran is Persian, Turkey is Turkish, and there's one other that I can't remember at the moment.) In fact, Iran--NOT Turkey--was the first Muslim country to acknowledge Israel (and the second in the world, the US being first.) Of course, this friendship did not last.

If we want to say that Iran isn't quite a neighbor, Jordan and Israel have the same national dish and some other cultural similarities. Plus many pro-Israelis want the Palestinians in Jordan.

Answer 3

turkey, Turkey became the first country with a Muslim majority to formally recognize the State of Israel.  Since then, Israel has been a major supplier of arms to Turkey. Military, strategic, and diplomatic cooperation between Turkey and Israel is accorded high priority by the governments of both countries, which share concerns with respect to the regional instabilities in the Middle East

Answer 4

Turkey. It is a secular country which mean the country has nothing to do with religion.

Lebanon. We can see the UNIFIL forces across Israeli - Lebanese border.

Egypt and Jordan. These two countries have established full diplomatic relation with Israel. Some of their citizens seethed with hatred against the Jews, unfortunately.

Answer 5

It's more South Africa.

Ms. Miche-We certainly do not hate Jews and  Islam acknowledges Judaism but we hate what Israel is doing there is a huge difference.

Answer 6

Yes, it is South Africa 30 years ago.

Answer 7

Hi Daily Sunshine,

As it stands right now, I would say none.  Even though we are at peace with Egypt and Jordan, if you ask Egyptians and Jordanians individually, many will tell you that they hate us.  The Lebanese Christians used to like us, more or less, but since the Lebanese/Israeli war of summer 2006, many don't like us anymore.

It is interesting to point out that within Israel, we only hate those who hurt us and attempt to send in terror attacks and rockets, but we generally like Muslims and many have even visited Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Tunis, Morocco and any other country where Israelis will be permitted.

I personally will not visit, because I know that among many Muslim hearts there is deep hatred toward Jews - Israelis in particular.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })
