What Arab countries do Jews live in?
70 years ago, there would have been an answer to this question that would have been interesting (170,000 Iraqi Jews, 285,000 Moroccan Jews, 140,000 Algerian Jews, 100,000 Jews in Egypt, etc.). However, Jews were driven out of the Arab countries from 1948-1955. 850,000 Jews fled the Arab States. 500,000 settled in Israel and the remaining 350,000 have found asylum elsewhere. Currently, the only Arab country with greater than 1,000 Jews is Morocco with roughly 3,400-4,000 Jews. Most Arab countries currently have less than 100 Jews.

Can a Jew be Arab?
In Saudi Arabia, they would have to convert to Islam; there are no Jewish communities in most Arab country anymore. Saudi Arabia, is home to a Muslim population.There are roughly 2.8 million Hebrews living in Saudi Arabia, the descendants of the Jews. There are plenty of "Jews" living in Arabia, roughly 5.6 million in Saudi Arabia alone primarily in western Arabia.In other words, Jews living in Arab countries are genetically Jewish and ethnically Jewish, but they do not practice the Jewish religion, because they have converted to the Islamic religion.Hint:From the Islamic Perspective, a Jew or whatever religion can live in any Muslim country, obeying the rules of that country, and having the rights stated by its laws. But actually, there are no Jews in Saudi Arabia, though there are some in other Arab countries, due to political reasons.
Are the Palestinians the Arabs Jews or Muslims?
Answer 1This is not a trichotomy. Arab is an ethnicity, Jew is an ethno-religious marker, and Islam is a religion. Therefore a person can (in theory) be an "Arab Jew", a "Jewish Arab", an "Arab Muslim", a "Muslim Arab", or a "formerly Jewish Muslim". (Whether or not these terms are used is something else.) In terms of the Palestinians, they are exclusively Arab, ethnically and the majority are Muslim, but there are some Arab Christian Palestinians, Arab Druze Palestinians (although most Druze identify as Israelis, Lebanese, or Syrians), and Arab Bahai'i Palestinians.Answer 2the people of Palestine are a variety of Muslims and Christians. They used to live in harmony with the Jews under the British State (there was never a Muslim state that exclusively ruled Palestine).As soon as the Jewish areas received independence and Statehood, discord and war broke out.
Did the Arabs believe in the Judaism teaching?
Some did. The Jews were quite active in seeking converts. By the time of Muhammad, there were quite a few Jews and Christians among the Arabs. When Muhammad went to Medina, he met two Arab tribes that had adopted Judaism. Some of the Arab Jews subsequently became Muslims, while others retained their Jewish faith and were known as Arab Jews. Since the Israeli declaration of independence, they have been encouraged to forget their Arab associations and identify as Sephardic Jews.

What were the roots of Arab Jews?
It depends on how the term "Arab Jew" is meant. If the term "Arab Jew" to refer to "Jews from the Arab World" it is worth noting that they identify themselves either as "Mizrahim" (Jews of the East) or "Jews from the Arab World". The term Arab Jew is seen by both Arabs and Jews to be quite problematic, but can be used as it makes "Arab" the physical descriptor of the type of Jew. The reverse (Jewish Arab) is not even historically acceptable for describing these types of people, whereas this type of identification is how Muslims and Christians identify (Muslim Arabs and Christian Arabs) because their religion describes what type of Arab they are. The Mizrahim trace their origins back to the countries that came under Arab Islamic control prior to the arrival of the Muslims. The communities in Northern Africa were populated by Jews during the Roman Diaspora period. The communities in Iraq were the remnants of those Jews deported by the Babylonians who never returned to the Land of Israel, and so on. If the question is referring to the Arab Tribes in the Pre-Islamic Period that embraced Judaism, it is unclear whether these were Arabs who converted to Judaism or they were Jews who migrated to Arabia and took on Arabic language and customs. Those Jewish Arab Tribes disappeared during the 600s CE because of the conflicts between them and nascent Islam and because of Caliph Omar's edict that all Jews had to leave Arabia or convert to Islam. As a result, none of these Jewish Arab Tribes have modern descendants who see themselves as Jews.

Jews are also bothered by the incredible barrage of Anti-Semitic rhetoric that comes from numerous Arab Muslim leaders and the lack of opposition to this garbage in the Arab communities.
