Why it's not PC to notice that different cultures really truly do react differently to the same stimuli, I have never figured out.

If that statement were made from some reasonably disinterested perch, say someone studying, in a careful manner, the cultural variations in geographical locals which could be called Arab, and comparing that with other cultures in which members had some serious reason to think they were living under an occupying power, and then inferred that "Arabs are an ungrateful lot," that might constitute a judgment about something that could roughly be called a culture.

As it stands, it lumps too many different groups into a situation in which the simpler way to an explanation would include something about the perception of living in a zone occupied by a foreign power.
