she took a taxi on frieday and the taxi driver who was Israeli arab listened to the jewish religious channel, that is true story, I reckon arabs wats to know what happened to their cousins. maybe they will find out the original story and that jews belong in Israel.

Good Luck!!

I hope sincerely that you will win! I'll be honored and happy, as a Jew, that a Beduin win the Torah contest. And Salma, don't be so patronizing, it makes you look racist. My friend Salma, you need to grow up and see the future with more clear-sightedness, to be prepared.

stories of your prophets, moses and his offsprings aka israelites, the entire region history is writen there,especially when in one point Egypt conquered Israel, they even found archyology to back it up, you will probably find out y beith lechem(house of bread) means beith lechem.

YOU HYPOCRITE. ON ONE HANDCYOU WANT CO -EXISTANCE. ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU SAY, "POOR BEDOUIN"??? WHY IS HE POOR BEDUIN? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HATE LIKE YOU DO????

Recent DNA research shows that Beduins, Druse, and Gaza Arabs have very similar DNA to Jews. So his ancestors were probably Jewish!!!

...one of my classmates was an Israeli Arab (Christian) woman who had served a sentence at the women's prison here. She took part in the annual prison Bible quizz. She won. It was such an embarrassment that after that they had separate quizzes for Jewish women and non-Jewish women.

miss quot research.

who seems to think that studying the Hebrew Bible will waste Abu Arar's time. As long as people like her (who think that ignorance will help the Palestinian cause) are a majority in Palestinian society, it will continue to look the way it does now. Bravo, Abu Arar! Knowledge enriches the world, learning about other peoples and traditions and beliefs make us stronger, and a good sense of one's own identity helps getting to understand others'. I'm proud to live in Isael and wish this young Bedouin all the success in the world!!! I hope he reads the support he gets here!

you fail to guess that I'm a secular humanist !!! In 2010 there are more important things to study and deepen in.. Yossef, really, you think I'm racist :(

you claimed that Yeshua was palestinian, he was jewish and live in jerusalem. if you were secular like you claim to be you wouldn't post that TB, you see some of us have their memory.

It would be great if he would win! he is a true lover of peace and should get rewarded

Shadi, go for it, I wish you good luck, you have a great attitude!

in teaching or diplomacy or whatever he chooses.

Why did you call Shadi a "poor Bedouin"?

and bedouins... question: where in egypt did the jews come from, when they climbed on their journey mount sinai, which is quite in the south ? im wishing also all luck to abu :)

Do I have to say that Jesus was a Jewish to become a secular?! for me, every person born on the land of Palestine is a Palestinian, and so is the case with Jesus, whether you like it or not

Go and win this thing! This Israel-supporting Kiwi is applauding your efforts.

It's a free country, unlike the PA. If he wants to participate in the Bible contest, he has a right to. I say go for it.

when other arab get respect and support from jewsin Israel, she can't stand the very idea that arab is free in Israel, while her movments r very limited due to ongoing violance intiatives(that is the only thing palis initiate), she can't even be happy for other arab, but I reckon she is no diferent from the other palis. in Israel arabs get funds from the gov to cultural activities, especially when Israel built to bedouins the museaum cultural educaion center, in which every person in Israel can enjoy the Bedouin lifestyle. "Albadia - the Arab Bedouin Heritage Center " go look it up. Salma really sound bitter most of the times.

ghostq, Do you also noticed that Bedouin needs to houses, schools, water and recognition of ownership of the lands they live it ?! tell us about the museum later !

Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo, Azzeddine al Qassam in Syria. But for you, only muslim DNA (considering that palestinian Arabs immigrated fron 29 countries from 1917 to 1937) entitles people to be palestinian residents?

Kippoth are being knitted in the PA by arab women; within a short future, manufacturing talet, tefilim, torah scrolls will be subcontracted by Palestinians, as haredim are closing themselves into laziness, narrowmindedness and despising the rest of mankind.

You asked a very complicated question for a &$@!? like Salma.

You may be secular...but you're certainly no humanist.

SURE MOST ARABS THEY ANCESTORS WAS A JEWY BEFORE ISLAM BIRTH.
