Every time I hear the phrase "Jews and Arabs" I get sick to my stomach... Some Arabs are Jews! And interchangeably, some Jews are Arabs!
2. Statement from Arab jorurnalist very wrong
Alon ,   Israel   (02.06.14)
I am sick of this concept of "sport makes us equals" etc etc. Never mind sport, Arabs and Jews are normal people like anywhere else (apart from the few extremists). We should start by introducing the parents. I work in Arab towns and believe me we are all just as human with the same concerns, worries and aspirations. We just don't meet and chat over coffee.. Start with the parents

Jews lived in Arab lands for centuries before Islam was thought of we spoke Arabic before the modern Arabs ever did, we are however not Arabs, just as Kurds, Armenians, Samaritans, Circassians, Berbers etc are all minorities in the current Middle East we are Jews and always have been. My parents are from Tripoli and my family lived in Libya for hundreds of years we are not Arabs neither is my wife's family from Aden. Jews are not Arabs just as bebers, Kurds etc are not Arabs. No offence to you or Arab culture. I'm sorry you feel sick but we were here hundreds of years before the Arabs and we'll still be here when your culture and religion is long forgotton!

I have many Jewish friends from Yemen, Iraq and Morocco, and they would agree 100%.
