Talk:History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula

message: Please see the following articles that should now solve the problems we have been discussing:
*The History of the Jews in Arabia page is now the History of the Jews in Arabia (disambiguation) page (see it to understand the comprehensive nature of the solution and why it is necessary.
*A new main article is now History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula that summarizes the Jewish histories within and connected to the areas of all the present countries in the Arabian Peninsula.
*The History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia is now part of a set of nine articles that relate to the nine countries in the present day Arabian Peninsula, as follows:
**History of the Jews in Iraq
**History of the Jews in Jordan
**History of the Jews in Bahrain
**History of the Jews in Kuwait
**History of the Jews in Oman
**History of the Jews in Qatar
**History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia
**History of the Jews in the United Arab Emirates
**Yemenite Jews
*The main category for all the above is now the new :Category:History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula which is itself a sub-category of: :Category:History of the Arabian peninsula, :Category:Jewish history by region, :Category:Jews and Judaism in Southwest Asia, :Category:Judeo-Islamic topics
This took me a while to write, research and organize, but it was well worth the time and efforts I put into it to create clarity and avoid confusion from now on. Thank you very much, IZAK (talk) 13:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The desert portions of Iraq were part of "Arabia" even if they were not located in the Arabian penuinsala. "Arab" originally just meant "desert dweller" so there were a number of groups from the desert areas north of the penuinsala who were known as "Arabs" in antiquity, they were known as such in the Syrian, Jordanian, and Iraqi, Negev, and Sinai deserts south of the Euphrates. There has been a revisionist project to limit the definition of "Arab" to just the Arabian penuinsala and so deny that Arabs had any link outside of this area, however this is incredibly wrong headed. The term "Arab" predates knowledge of the penuinsala, when people talked about "Arab people's" in antiquity they didn't have any real geographic knowledge of the penuinsala, they were talking about desert dwelling people's bordering their "civilized" territory that was usually some river or hill based country that could accommodate large populations. The penuinsala was later named after the Arabs, but this wasn't meant to imply that this was the exclusive area of their origin. Such a definition is forced, it would be as if you claimed that the Jewish people never in history dwelt outside of the confines of the literal geographic territory of "Judea". 2601:140:9500:7F00:B1C1:F685:B2E8:7347 (talk) 21:09, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
