Arab IDF soldier: 'I love this country and want to contribute'

No such thing as an "Arab Jew," not ethnically at least.

How would u call jews which came/are from arabic countries, which is largest group of jews in Israel?

Let me guess, judging by your behavior here and interaction with Arab users (completely different from the likes of "Mountain Jew" for instance and that must be understood positively), I guess that you are an Arab Jew yourself or at least partially one? Is that a correct assumption if you don't mind me asking?

I don't like to talk about myself in public forums, for clear reasons, but yeah.

You should know that most Arabs have no hostility towards Arab Jews and that we lived peacefully and cordially for much of recorded history. I personally regret the political events that led to the entire conflict and all that is related to it as I believe that Arabs and Jews, if peace arrived, could do a lot of good together and most importantly change this ancient and beautiful yet turbulent region for the better.

I hope that my children or at least my grandchildren will witness such a day because my grandparents and great-grandparents knew a time when Arabs and Jews lived side by side in the Arab world.

Look at what we accomplished together in Al-Andalus alone for instance. It's a long time ago but it is a testament to what once took place of good in terms of cooperation.

All sane people wish for peace.
Only then, we can really achieve greatness, not as a nation, but as a group of nations, consists of different people with different beliefs, but united.
