However, no one is offering the Israelis membership in NATO. The governments of Western Europe, with the solitary & partial exception of the UK, are solidly pro-Arab. The US & UK alone do not have the power to admit countries to NATO against the will of the other members.

Not really. But there is a rather widely spread opinion that Israel is stealing land and that the Palestinians have rights too... Western Europe was very sympathetic to Israel before it started its settlement policy following the Six-Days War in 1967.
