The Sabra is a cactus that grows in the Negev Desert in southern Israel. The fruit is prickly on the outside and sweet on the inside, so it is the perfect analogy to the average Israeli. Israelis are stereotypically guarded and display a strong exterior, but if you get to know one you find that they're sweet and caring. A Sabra is a Jew born and raised in Israel.

Sabras are Jews that were born in Israel.
In other words they did not immigrate to Israel.

Sabra Jews are any Jews born in Israel - see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_%28person%29 - it doesn't matter if there ancestors or more directly parents are from Europe or from Arab lands.
Good Luck!!!

They are the children of the people who populated outposts in Israel before they were safe. When neighboring countries would attack them and send in covert troops the Sabra's kept the outpost going so it could be occupied. Most of these people live communal lives and safety of women and children was paramount.
