Questions to ask your pro-Israeli friends

[The SC]

Arabs belong to the Arabian peninsula. Assyrians or Babylonians or Phoenicians were not Arabs.

They all have dwelled in the same neighborhood, the Arabs were part of it, since the language stems from Aramaic.
(Aramaic language: Aramaic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_language)
And it is no coincidence that they are/were situated between the two most advanced civilizations the world has ever seen in ancient times (with the Indus valley one which was not far by any means either), namely the Mesopotamian one and the Egyptian one. By proximity and distance, there is no way the Arabs were not part of it.
