No it is not. Hebrews are Arabs. There is no genetic difference.

Well that's a different claim isn't it? Jews are not necessarily Hebrews.

Kyu

Quite right. TODAY Jews are neither a race or a ethnicity overall,although many are both.

The original 12 tribes are Israel were Semites,a term use to describe a race and an an ethnicity. The Arabs belong to the same group.

Arabs and Jews recognise a common ancestor, Abraham. The fratricidal nature of the war between the Jews and Arabs makes an even greater tragedy.

From WIKI:

n linguistics and ethnology, Semitic (from the Biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם, translated as "name", Arabic: ساميّ) was first used to refer to a language family of largely Middle Eastern origin, now called the Semitic languages. This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre and Tigrinya among others.

As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the extended cultures and ethnicities, as well as the history of these varied peoples as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution.
