One restriction on arabs in government is the law that says every party must support the idea of Israel as a Jewish nation. If they don't they're banned. Plus, wasn't there recently some effort to ban elected Arab officials from committees where they would receive sensitive information? How did that turn out?

They don't need to support this idea. Only not to try and change it. The actual text is: "A Democratic and Jewish nation".
Israel being a jewish nation is the major reason for it's existance, and thus it would be illogical to allow it to change. |
Said by someone with a strong political belief. Surprising how mutable logic can be when you cross political and ethnic lines. It is a restriction on Arab power in a democratic government, promoting one religion or ethnicity over another.

I'm sinserely doubtful as to the intentions for kicking out arab officials out of sensetive comittees since they'd have to be members of large enough parties to even enter such comittees. |
Then the issue was removing arab mks or specific arab mks from sensitive discussions. I'm not sure and I'm not certain it was carried out but there was quite alot of noise about it not that long ago.

You mean Yemen surly?
A democratic contry, populated mainly by Arabs, in the Middle East...
[Turkey is filled with Turks, rather than Arabs, and Egypt with Egyptians {and is not in the middle east anyway acording to one map I've seen}] (personally I would put the division between the ME and Africa at the Suez Canal, which would put the Siani, and heance part of Egypt, in the ME)

As we know, Muslims divide into shi'is and other sunnites. One of the historical fractions of shi'is, claiming that Ismail ibn Gafar as-Sadiq is the seventh imam, were ismaillites. One of the fractions of them, with their leader claiming that he's the hidden imam, and descendant of prophet Muhammad through his daughter, Fatima, established a state in modern day Tunisia, and later conquered Egypt (in fact an Armenian conquered it for them and established Al-Azhar , and later there was a dinasty of Armenian visiers) and Syria. in the end of X century (970 or so). They established a shi'i caliphate, which fell when Salah ad-Din, sent by Nur ad-Din with his uncle as the leader of an interventional army, became their visier, and after a death of current caliph, destructed it, creating a new state and new dinasty, Ayyubids (since 1171 or so). Anyway, one of caliphs was al-Hakim, ruling in the start of XI century.
He was under great Christian influence at the start, his mother was Christian, the guy who brouoght him up was Christian, his uncle was patriarch of Jerusalem, and He made another uncle patriarch of Antioch. But later on He got mad, and started persecuting Christians with a great energy. He destroyed the church of the Holy Sepulchre, killed some patriarchs, and persecuted Christian community in all the means possible, including a general order of converting to Islam and means to achieve that. But later on, He started mistreating Muslims as well, as He got to the thought that He's the God. He was excentric, He loved night journeys in the city on a donkey for example, and all the shops were supposed to be opened for him. Once He didn't return...
And his supporters got to the point that He's disappeared and will once returned, and sheltered in Lebanon mountains. Their first leader's name was Hamza, but their name comes from a Persian word which I don't know a substitute in English, and it was what their next leader used to do for living.

Egypt is definitely Arabic, though Egyptian dialect differs much from the classical speech. |

When was the last time an opposition party took power in a non-violent way after elections in Iran or Egypt?
