A lot of Arabs hate Israel with a fiery passion (for real, not exaggerating), but they live under oppressive, lawless dictatorships. Egypt has tens of thousands of political prisoners in jail and the government assassinates people they don't like. So I think the Palestinian omni-cause ends up serving as an indirect, coded, or transferred criticism of their own governments, because they're not allowed to speak out, but these governments sometimes let them "let off some steam" about Palestine. Like whenever there are demonstrations in Arab countries, the Palestinian flags come out, which puts these governments in a dilemma about repressing it or not. Take this Arab zoomer slop for example, it's about "Israel" and "Palestine" but everything they're actually saying can be applied to their own countries, and to some extent they are talking about their own countries in an indirect way, and that's why they "feel" it. Like "we're living under occupation," they actually do feel like that because they live in dictatorships:

But these governments also know that maintaining stable relations with Israel and the West is in their interest and they would collapse like Gaddafi if they weren't being propped up, and fighting Israel is crazy, and they'd lose really badly. I think a lot of the passionate hatred of Israel does have some basis in Israeli chauvinism and brutality towards the Palestinians, but also a complex mixture of Arab shame and humiliation from losing. Muhammad's origin story with the Jews is different from Jesus' story as well. The Jews betrayed Christ which creates a mix of hatred and fear of the Jews in the Christian world, but Muhammad drove the Jews out of Medina, and now here they are winning military victories over the Arabs? Look at a map, Israel like a pointy-edged dagger right in the heart of the Arab world.
