What a moronic statement.
1. If there were liberal democracies in the Arab world, *they* would not make peace with Israel, because they would reflect the will of their public, and over 80% of the Arab public reject Israel

2. Israel is a counter-revolutionary force backing dictatorships and preventing democratization. It backs coups and sells cyberweapons to dictators to target pro-democracy activists. It knows well that democratization in the Arab region is a threat.
Do these people believe their own lies?
The statement may sound benign but it's really just racism. "Oh we wish there were Arab democracies to make peace with, but there's only dictatorships, so we're kinda stuck in this neighborhood". When in fact they're actively backing the dictatorships.
