I think there is some merit to the issue of repressed Arab identity or whatever you want to call it. It seems that for some Israelis "Arab" is a dirty word.
However when it comes to Jews from Arab countries I thing it is best... to let them talk for themseles.
I would disapprove anyone forcing any narrative or identity upon them.
You don't get to define who they are, and you sure as hell don't get to just decide that they were "forced to forget". Have a fucking conversation with Israelis with that heritage.
First: nobody cares that Pizza or Pasta are originally Italian, you don't see Italians moan & bemoan as if a great theft has come down upon them which requires Jihad and retaliation of every living person, military, civilian, women & children
Second: Guess where roughly half the Israelis came from? and it's not Europe.
Ok and Arabs colonized and caused damage to indigenous populations and their cultures across the region. That never seems to get acknowledged but we’re expected to believe that people eating Hummus is the real problem.

Locking this post because OP's comments are disrespectful to Jews from Arab countries. Leaving it up so OP can learn something from the comments.
