Honey, you are so beautiful. You look just like my precious niece in NY Lauren. I understand how your feel, and I am so sorry for your pain. Please know as an Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jew with family how are Arab Jews, I love you and will pray for you. We are all the children of one father, Father Abraham.

@DrHunterMD Thanks for the supportive comment!

Suicidal morons. Being conquered by Arabs doesn't turn you into one. Otherwise Iran would be Arab. They are Middle Eastern. Furthermore, Muslims have 99% of the Mid East. The Jews are entitled to their 1%.

@AntiFascist2011 To clarify, Iran's primary language is not Arabic. Jews from Arab countries did/do speak Arabic.

[AntiFascist2011]

@YoungJewishandLeft I understand, but just because you speak a language doesn't mean you become part of that ethnicity. I mean Scots, Irish, Welsh, Americans, Australians and many others speak English. But it doesn't make them English people. I just think that the Arabs are mostly the aggressors in the conflict and Jews should stand up for themselves. (I'm neither btw).

[YoungJewishandLeft]

@AntiFascist2011 It's tricky. Many Jews from Arab countries consider themselves Arab. But many don't - as you can see from the other comments. "Jews from historically Arab countries and/or the kids of people from those countries and who identify with that cultural heritage, some of whom also identify as Arab," may have been a more accurate title, but doesn't have the same ring.

@juliaisafilmbuff123 Why do so many people whine about people whining?

@Shimonisback its bcz you dont even try to talk to non Jewish Arabs ,plus you didnt try to search for the truth ,start with Naeim Giladi

[MegaKees88]

@Shimonisback thats why Jewish Arabs were living a prosperous life in Egypt , Iraq.Morroco and Syria ? dont forget few Jewish Arabs collaborated with those Jews from Europe ,and it wasnt really difficult to bomb a Jewish quarter and claim a non Jewish Arab did it , thats exactly whats happening in the Arab world today .
