Israeli Jews who look Arab: What do you think of Arab culture?

[Saif al-Arab]

Iraq is unforgivable the people are not hostile as the propaganda or the media show actually they're very welcoming
The food is tasty
BTW it's not the Iraqs who evicted the jews from Iraq it's Noori Alsaeed this guy was the Brits man in Iraq..

It's not about Iraq or any other Arab country. It's about past governmental decisions by a few select people (as is the case today). If Arabs and Jews really despised each other, the biggest Jewish diaspora would not have existed in the Arab world for millennia nor would Arabs and Jews have lived side by side even when Jews and Arabs first appeared in recorded history almost 3 millennia ago.

Not to mention that Arab Jews were basically our own people just with a different, closely related (moreover) religion. Thus a slightly different identity. Nothing more and nothing less. Their history, culture, them as a group of people had nothing to do with the modern-day state of Israel, that is barely 70 years old, let alone the concept of Zionism.

We should not equate history, culture etc. with modern-day nation states and ideologies.

In your mind, I imagine, Najd is "Wahhabism" for you, when that is just 250 years of history in a region that had advanced civilizations 10.000 years ago.

History
Founded c. 8000 BC
Abandoned c. 7000 BC
Periods Neolithic
Al-Magar was a prehistoric civilization whose epicenter lied in modern-day southwestern Najd in Saudi Arabia. Al-Magar is characterized as being one of the first civilizations in the world where widespread domestication of animals occurred, particularly the horse, during the Neolithic period.[1]

The inhabitants of Al-Magar were also one of the first communities in the world to practice the art of agriculture and animal husbandry before climate changes in the region resulted in desertification and lived in stone houses built with dry masonry.[2]Radiocarbon dating of objects discovered indicate an age of about 9,000 years.[3]


A few of the archeological findings discovered at the Al-Magar site.

The inhabitants of Al-Magar were thus likewise among some of the first communities in the world to practice the art of agriculture and animal husbandry before climate changes in the region resulted in desertification. The people of Al-Magar lived in stone houses built with dry masonry.[4]

In November 2017 hunting scenes showing images of most likely domesticated dogs, resembling the Canaan dog, wearing leashes were discovered in Shuwaymis, Saudi Arabia. Dated at 8000 years before present, these are the earliest known depictions of dogs in the world.[5]

and tons of other civilizations. Even more funny, the Iraqi Shia Arabs who say that, are often themselves of Najdi origin to make it even funnier. The world is a strange place.

As for inaccurate prejudice, I am afraid that Iraq is not the only regional country that "suffers" from this, my friend.

I know We are the one who saved them from Spanish rulers in the 15th century when they evicted Muslims from Andalusia
Can you confirm that?

Partially correct Malik. Most of the Muslims in Al-Andalus (Arabs as well as Berbers and Moriscos = local converts) were expelled from Spain and Portugal. Most ended up in the Maghreb. Some in Sham, Arabia, modern-day Turkey and Egypt.

But that community in Al-Andalus (Jewish) themselves migrated from the Arab world ALONG with the Arabs and Berbers that conquered Spain and Portugal. So you can say that they returned "home".

While all this occurred, Jews continued to live in Arabia, Sham, Iraq, Egypt etc.

Anyway relations will obviously only truly improve once the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has ended and I don't blame most Arabs for looking at Israel very negatively (I do too - at least politically) but that does not mean that we should be enemies forever which we won't be either.




Ok, guys, I knew that Arabic and Hebrew are closely related languages but not this close. Now I understand why Palestinians have such an easy time learning Hebrew.

This is funny to watch.

More of this is needed in the region.

you cant blame entire pepole for some incidents.
the ashknzis always using it for their own intrests.
iraqi jews love iraq.

I should know that as partially Iraqi but I honestly have not observed Israeli Iraqi Jews having some special affinity for Iraq that say Israeli Yemeni Jews have not for Yemen or Israeli Moroccan Jews for Morocco. Or even other communities. If you have some scholarly work to confirm this claim, I would be interested in reading it as I find it surprising, if true.



Yemeni Israelis are the best musicians, I have heard. Would not surprise me.

BTW did you know that many of the Yemeni Jews are actually from modern-day Southern KSA? Most Jews lived in that region and Northern Yemen. Fewer in the South.

They identify as Yemeni because there was no KSA until 1932. So they identified with their historical region, say Najd, Hijaz, Eastern Province, North, South etc. and the regions within those regions.

they mostly lived in sanaa
but also in damar and saada and also in south yemen but not alot .
they have the best voices i guess its not the case with the muslims..
we have also frozen jahnun in the supermarket

Actually jews, who are occupying Palestine are not real jews. They are just converts. Basically the White Jews, who make the majority of Israel are just an extension of western imperialism. Its a Western terror and bullying franchize in middle east, so that no body in middle east is crossing lines, without instructions.

Jews are Semitic this is a fact

You can see they have their own look while the white european muslim doesn't look different from white european christian

That white Jews were once people from a particular area. Thats why they look typical. They are majority from Khazar tribes.

Eeeeeh wrong khazars look asians while jews do look middle Eastern European mix

Also the khazar thing is a big lie was debunked many times

 

[Sine Nomine]

Bottom line is that,they hate Muslims from days of there rule in khyber.Arab Nationals have tasted it many times.No stories of lala land would save your arse from hatred.
Uzreal has almost wiped Muslims out of that region and in next decade we would see more misery.

jewishm I have a question have you as jew have you thought that of the one state solution for you and Palestinians since this will end this conflict

if the palestinans were smart they would push for that option.
i think we need to keep like we are right now.
but if i had to choose so two states .
yes we hate muslims : https://www.facebook.com/israelpolicearabic/
