1) Do you mean because Israel is developped? Israel has managed to reach the tiping point they can specialize in a few areas, high tech, security,... for example to name a few, still overwhelmingly based on European technology (semi conductors, advanced electronics). Much like East Asian countries did in the past with electronics. UAE was nowhere close to that level of developpement ever since they started to get money from oil.
2) What i mean is if you lack an advanced civilization in all sorts of area, you don't have the luxury to choose if you want to catch up with others, at least on the surface. You have to make a choice, you need to accomodate foreigners. Naturally they will be in position to live exactly the way they want and in the language they want. I think local elites are also fine with that and completely understand the trade off. It has never been necessary in the West.
The most mindblowing thing in Dubai is how everything has a western brand on it, every piece of equipement, companies at work, building or maintaining, even down to bus stations.
3) No it's not even close and ive already demonstrated to you its was not the case. Also because the bulk of the foreign population nowadays have a piece of paper saying they are local, theorically. Means nothing.
