Question[edit]

Should this catergory include people of Algerian family background? How far back can you go? PatGallacher 22:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no clear-cut guideline. Presumably if people have proven and verifiable ancestry that they come from Algerian Jews they could be included. Always use your common sense though. IZAK 07:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arab Jews[edit]

@User:Greyshark09, Please provide a reason for your reverts. If you don't, I will restore my edits. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 20:17, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Arab Jews is a disputed term, applied in specific cases (such as Jewish tribes of Arabia). It is POV pushing to use it for Algerian Jews.GreyShark (dibra) 05:54, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Greyshark09, I did not see any of your responses because you didn't @ me in any of them. The term Arab Christians is also a disputed term. There are even Muslims in Arab countries who would would dispute the term Arab Muslims. I'm not sure why Arab Muslim and Arab Christian are acceptable terms, but Arab Jew is unacceptable.

I wrote most of the Arab Christians article. See who can be defined Arab Christian and who cannot; most Christians in Middle East are not Arab, some are Arab; most Jews in the Middle East (including Israel) are not Arab, very few are. If you consider Middle Eastern and North African Jews as "arab" this makes Israel an Arab country.GreyShark (dibra) 12:13, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
