Arabs are people of the Middle East that are united by a common language: Arabic, and a common history: the Islamic Caliphates. Arabs are not necessarily of the same ethnic stock and in many cases are of mixed heritage due to intermarriage between the Arabs coming up from the Arabian Peninsula and indigenous Semites and Berbers. Not all Arabs are Muslim, but all Arabs have (in their history) spent time under an Islamic government.
Jews are an ethno-religious group meaning that they are united by genetics: they believe themselves to be a very large family, and they share a common religion: Judaism. Now it is possible for a person to convert to Judaism and thus become a Jew without having the ethnic component and it is possible for a Jew to become an Atheist, thus negating the religious component, but having one of the two attributes is sufficient to be a Jew.
Being Arab and being Jewish are not based on the same criteria and are not the same thing in the slightest. It just so happens that their places of origin happen to be in the same region; that's it.
