they are not Jews. They may be descended from Jews. So what? Perhaps Erich von Manstein was a recent Jewish descendant. That did not make him one iota Jewish.
But the article doesnt say that they are Jews... The headline reads:
Bedouin Sheikh: My People are of Jewish Descent
It also says "Jewish roots" which doesn't necessarily mean they are Jewish. I think that Conversos, Jews who were forced to convert during the Inquisition in Spain have an opportunity to return to Judaism... If these Arabs have a true Jewish soul and they can co-exist with their Jewish brothers and sisters from the diaspora, then I support them. If they are using this claim to usurp the Jewish state then they should be shunned.
