If a Jew is born in an Arab country ....Is that child an Arab? Why or Why not? A Jew born the US is a US citizen.Judiasm is a religion not a nationality. I see no difference between Jews and Arabs.

there are many Arab Jews!!!! from Egypt, Saudi Arabia , Yemen , Syria, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Ethiopia all over the place.
Israel is a Hebrew nation/ Zionist nation. and Arab Jews in Israel are discriminated against by European Israelis

I think Isreal is an Arab country depending on if you consider Lebonon a country. And Judaism could be a race...but I have never heard of it being a nationality since biblical times of Judaea. Just the thoughts of a Ranger, no credentials to back it up.

what you have here is a linguistic issue -- Arab should refer to someone from the Arabian peninsula. You can have Christian arabs and, yes, Jewish Arabs. But the connotation has taken over and made Arab synonymous with "middle easterner who isn't a jew".

Jew is a descendant of Judah. It was also a geographic location, those that lived in the Kingdom of Judah. They were also called Jews. Those that are Jewish as you have said- it refers to their religion. The Northern tribes were not Jews by geographic location or by descent. They were also treated different by God, as the prophets tended to be either prophets to the Kingdom of Judah, or the Kingdom of Israel.
Those in the Kingdom of Israel to the north were to forget their heritage. Read Hosea to find out what was in store for them.
God still knows who they are.

where you are born dosn't change your heritage. Look at Chinese. Born in the U.S.A. makes them Americans but they are still Chinese too.
