Are their many Arab Jews in Israel?

depends on definition.

if mean jews arab nations, realize don't identify arab, , not officially considered such israel. nor should be, don't speak arabic primary language (thus, not linguistic arabs), hold identifiable culture separate arabs, , ethnically distinct enough.

jews arab nations or descent communities called mizrahi, or sephardi depending on family circumstances. in case, israel has lot of these, around 40% of total population, or approaching 50% of jewish population.

"arab jews" treated quite in israel. many mizrahi friends in israel, mizrahi family, let me can speak on personal experience don't find difficulties. jews tend identify on axis of being jewish, doesn't matter if 1 place or another.

concerning muslims, depends. many see them jews before arabs, accurate, @ same time don't want deal them @ because of it. of course, there many arabs care less, well.

@ pseudo-rabbi - yeah, no, that's not happened. starters, israelis don't function along same "race" ideals heavily in west. it's pseudo-scientific anyways, i'd discard personal belief if you. in case, mizrahi jews viewed differently, ethnicity. jews of other backgrounds didn't have change that, , if knew personally, i'd put in touch quite few of community tell you dead wrong.

if so, how treated other jews , muslims?
