Thread Name: BS: Middle East Unrest
Subject: RE: BS: Middle East Unrest
A "Christian" on another forum said that only the Jews belong in Israel that the rest were "Arabs" and therefor should go back to Arabia.

Are the Egyptians Arabs? What happened to the people who were there with an ancient culture? Were the Babylonians exterminated? I don't think so. I think they learned Arabic and perhaps intermixed but there are families in those lands long before the Arabs came who are still there.

Calling them "Arab" is like calling everyone who lives in the commonwealth and the United States of America "English" and calling that the English world.
