The most prominent arab Israelis in tech usually leave Israel for the US, e.g. Nafea Bshara (co-founder of Annapurna Labs, now an Amazon subsidiary) and Johny Srouji ( http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-johny-srouji-apple-chief-chipmaker/ http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-johny-srouji-apple-ch... ).
SolidRun [0] which makes Cubox and Hummingboard (popular micro ARM boxes, among other things), is also founded and run by arab Israelis.
Of note, I have met quite a few arab israelis in technolgoy, and every single one was from a christian family background. I'm sure there must also be arab israeli muslims into technology (among arab israelis, muslim outnumber christians 10:1) - but I have not yet met any in my travels.
