the current coalition got 49.5% of the votes.
the coalition is also made up of non-zionist ultra-orthodox.

which happened once by likud activists.
and yet more arab israelis voted than ever before in the election after that.

missed out an important part:

..the overall vote in many of these cities was not for right-wing parties – it was simply split between multiple candidates on the Center or Left.

not quite.
last elections 70% of eligible voters voted.
likud has gotten around 24% of their votes.
this was about the same even in the election before that.

so i'm guessing you're referring just to israeli jews? not israeli druze, bedouin or arabs?
and which jews are you referring to that "choose to live there"? as a lot of israeli jews have been there for some generations by this point. it's their home (let alone the families who remained since the kingdom of judah).

and that's some nice propaganda for israel, but unfortunately israel's poverty rate is among the highest in the developed world. while also being one of the highest cost of living countries.
bibi's economic policies and transfer of funds to ultra-orthodox organizations and private education institutions has only made things worse for most over the years.

helmets, flak jackets, humanitarian aid, field hospitals manned by israeli medical personnel (which is mentioned in the article), generators for hospitals and refugee assistance centers.

and i didn't remember that, but apparently there were already israeli anti-drone systems approved for export to ukraine last year. not sure if these are the same ones though.

70% of eligible voters voted.
the current government's parties were voted in by 49.5% of those voters.
out of those, 14.13% were ultra-orthodox parties who always go with bibi because he gives them everything they want. about half of those are non-zionist.

they helped, just not with weapons.
as russian forces are present in syria.

but now that israel is already at war with russian-iranian proxies / allies, there's no need to hold back anymore.

rashid ali was an iraqi muslim, so was yunis al-sabawi, so were al-futuwa youth that marked jewish houses before the farhud and so were the iraqi mob and police that massacred and raped jews.
arabs aren't infantile human beings with no agency or responsibility.

you wrote that these things only happened in europe. iraq isn't europe.

either way i gave other examples without any kind of european presence. and there are plenty more.
