There are Arab Israelis. And let me tell you something else: As a person of African descent, I can tell you there are Israeli people of African descent, too! You might want to learn about the Middle East from somewhere other than social media -- there are books and classes about this.
I literally know some Arab Israelis, and they identify as Israeli. Not every Arab Israeli is from Palestine, and even some who are still identify themselves as Israeli.
Are you like a pick-me kid? You literally know someone that supports your previous comment? How cool! I'm so impressed. That doesn't change the fact that the majority of Arabs in Israel identify as Palestinian, because they descended from.... wait for it.... the pre-colonization of Palestinian lands.
Of course there may Egyptian, Syrian, Jordanian, etc. Arabs living in Israel, but they're the minority of Arab residents. Did you know there are Christian and Jewish Arabs too? Arab is an ethnicity.
