    Sure the text was in hebrew, that is to say modern Hebrew. Arabic was, as you say brought in as the result of conquest, so was Aramaic once upon a time. Most Arabs in Israel-proper are bilingual, no problem with that. If you accept Jews who speak Yiddish and Ladino, why not accept Pals who speak Arabic as their mother-tongue. Secondly, why must they reconvert to Judaism ? You don't force Samaritans and Karaites to adopt to Rabbinical Judaism, in order to be accepted. Both Christians and Moslems THOROUGHLY accept that Judaism was first, and that their respective religions developed from Judaism on divine command and guidance. Why don't you accept that ? And why don't OUR hardliners and fanatics accept you as the forbearers of our religions ?
