Answer 6

don't forget that a lot of israelis (the older generation) were living in arab countries before moving back home to israel when it was reestablished as a country.

Answer 7

Most jewish israelis don't speak arabic and don't listen to arab music. I think it's quite natural - music is less interesting when you don't know the words. However, there are many jewish israelis who DO sunderstand arabic and DO listen to arab music. I, for example, like Majda Alroumy.

Answer 8

i do :) i love the mizrahi music - kind of arabic : )  

Answer 9

I like Israeli or American music.

Answer 10

i guess. but there are arab israelis so yep

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

As a Armenian American I listen to Israeli (mizrahit), Arabic, Greek, Italian (a little), and of course Armenian music.  I'm sure there's more but i can't think of it now.  Oh there's Indian music too.

My husband introduced me to Um Kaltoum's music, he loves it.  I like it too.

The current flows toward Israeli music right now.  

Music is an unifying tool.

EDIT: I don't understand Hebrew, Arabic, Greek nor Italian but I love the music.  (I am learning Hebrew, Arabic is next.)

Answer 13

i guess some do,but if any israeli or anyone from any other nationality wish to start listening to arabic music,i recommend highly to start with Um Kulthom,classical from the last century but timeless and very original,enjoy!

Actually i am listening to it now,if you wish start with one of my favorite song for her:Fakkarony.

Answer 14

no they listen to Hebrew music and Americans (or people who speak english jewish people mostly) who listen to hebrew music barely understand it either
