Answer 1

Turkey never controlled the Arabs!! Turkey IS NOT AN ARABIC COUNTRY!! we don't speak Arabic in turkey, we speak Turkish. All the women are like in Europe.

Answer 2

Answer 1 is a little disingenuous. There are roughly 3 million Arabs currently living in the Republic of Turkey, mostly living in Hatay Province (Alexandretta). As for how the Republic of Turkey acquired Hatay Province, it was through negotiations with the French concerning the border between Turkey and French Syria in the 1920s. Turkey has retained control of the region on account of Turkey's consistently rising standard of living and Syria's consistently falling standard of living. Most Syrian Turks are not interested in becoming proper Syrians on this account. (This is similar to Moroccan Spaniards in Melilla and Andalucian Britons in Gibraltar.)

If the question is using the term "Turkey" as a euphemism for the Seljuk and Ottoman Turkish Empires, their control of the Arabs (and the entire Middle East sans Iran) was through the use of military power and effective governance techniques. The use of local governors created loyalty among the citizenry to the Turks because the Turks were empowering local heroes.

Why should Israelis control Arabs?

The question as posed is nonsensical. An equivalent question is "Why should Americans control Hispanics?" The problem with both of these questions is that Israeli and American are nationalities irrespective of race, ethnicity, or religion, whereas Arab and Hispanic are ethnicities with common religions, but exist irrespective of citizenship. As a result, there are a large number of Israeli Arabs (20% of Israel) and American Hispanics (17% of the USA). The terms are not exclusive. If the question is asking "Why should the Jews in Israel control the Arabs in Israel?" the question is based on an incorrect implicit assumption: Jews control Arabs in Israel. Arabs have several different parties in Israeli politics and some of these Arabs have voiced dissent or disagreement with the Right of Israel to Exist at all without losing their seats or their parties being banned. Arabs are just as free to exercise political will as Jews are in Israel. The better question might be "Why do Muslim Arabs get to control Jews in Arab countries?" but people chose not to ask this question because they know that they will not like the answer.
