So many things wrong with your idea. Conversion must be sincere on religious grounds. One cannot convert to Judaism and remain moslem, christian, etc. Israeli Arabs are citizens -no different than I- and enjoy full citizenship rights and benifits. So why convert? Arab converts would be shunned by other Arabs, excommunicated, persecuted etc. and good chance they'd jeopardize their own safety.
