Although Jews and Arabs have significant differences in religion, culture and history, to some extent, they share the same ancestor. This view stems from genetic and cultural roots, which leads to complex and multi-level historical interweaving. Both Jews and Arabs claim that their ancestors can be traced back to Abraham, an ancient saint who played an important role in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Simply put, Jews and Arabs are half-brothers, descendants of Abraham's wife and concubine.
Isaac was born to Abraham and his wife Sarah, and was the ancestor of the Jews. Ishmael was born to Abraham and his concubine Hagar, and was the ancestor of Arabs. Therefore, Jews and Arabs are descendants of Semites in the Middle East, and both have a distant ancestor-Abraham.
