Racially and originally, yes. They belong to what is called the Semitic branch of the human family, indicated partly by the fact that Abraham is their common ancestor. The Semitic stem has been considerably modified in the case of the Jews by sustained migration. The sacred book of the Jews is the Bible, and of the Muslims the Koran, which they consider the ultimate revelation.

If going by the Biblical account - yes they are brothers.
Jacob - Jews
Esau - Arabs
Esau sold his birth right to Jacob.
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble.
Malachi 1:2 Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob.
This is why arabs (Muslims) hate the Jews and will eventually attack Israel in the final world war.

according to history and research most of the indo-European DNA began in the Tigris-Euphrates Rivers area from Iraq and upwards into modern Turkey.
So except for the Asians and Negroes most so called whites are kin folks.

Some Arabs practice the Jewish faith...If that's what you mean. According to Islamic, Jewish, and Christian faiths we all sprung from Adam and Eve, or some form thereof...moot point I know...so from that standpoint, they are connected.
