Go to Lebanon. It is the most liberal Arab country and not currently undergoing a domestic uprising.
If you go to Israel, you effectively cancel yourself out from being able to travel to most of the countries in the region. Israeli passport stamps constitute a denial of entry into every Arab country save Egypt and Jordan. You can get around this if you convince the border guards to stamp your visa on a separate paper, but I wouldn't risk it.
Egypt is the only other Arab country you should consider studying in, but recognize that Egyptian society is very Muslim and conservative.
Iranian society follows a more or less puritanical version of Islam, I'd avoid it.
Can't speak for Turkey because I've never visited, but it is probably about as liberal as Lebanon.
