All of them. The Jews are just an eccentric tribe of Arabs.

No, that's not it. Jews and Arabs are half-brothers of each other; Jewish people are not a subset of Arab people. The Torah/Old Testament/Tawrat (Muslim term for the Torah/OT), talks about how Jews and Arabs originated. Abraham had two children: Issac with his wife Sarah, and Ishamel with his maid Hagar. That's where the split between Jews and Arabs began.

At one point in the Bible, Hagar and Ishmael were thrown out of Abraham's home. They moved eastward to what is now Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Their descendants grew into the modern-day Arab nation.

Abraham, Sarah, and Issac stayed in Israel. They had Jacob and Esau. Esau joined his uncle Ishmael. Jacob had sons whose descendants became the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Ten of those tribes were lost, but the other two grew into the modern-day Jewish nation. (Now, however, small ethnic groups in Ethiopia, India, and even Afghanistan are being discovered to be descendants of the ten lost tribes.)

The majority of Jews and Arabs are Caucasian and almost identical makeup.

According to the US legal definitions of racial groups, Jews, Arabs, and anyone of Middle Eastern origin are classified as "white" or "Caucasian", the same category as people of European origins. However, if you look at anthropological categories, Europeans and Middle Easterners belong to distinct ethnic groups. Now, it doesn't mean that they shouldn't get along, with or without religious differences.

A lot of people moved around a lot in the ancient Middle East. One explanation for the origin of the term "Hebrew" is that it came from an older word, "Hapiru," which meant wanderer.

If I remember correctly, Abraham came from someplace called Ur, which is believed to have been in present day Iraq, so it seems likely that his ancestors included common ancestors with the Arabs, and I don't think the descendants of either Ishmael or Isaac exclusively bred with members of their own families.

So I would figure that both the Jews and Arabs have an awful lot of common ancestors.

If you are only looking for friends why are are you after girls who fit into a certain specificity?

Unless ofcourse you are looking for a girlfriend, then you should change the wording of your original post!
