The openness of the Jews in Arab culture is much lower than openness of the Arabs in Jewish culture.
We can change it, we must change it. We need to deepen our knowledge in the Arab language. Arabic language studies in the education system in Israel starting in the seventh grade and in most of the cases ends in ninth grade. Many young people do not find interest (לא מוצאים עניים)in Arabic language and its culture. We must educate our children to openness, to coexist peacefully, Arabs with Jews and Jews with Arab. I believe that the next generation should learn Arabic as a compulsory subject. We must communicate with our environment to live in peace, especially if Arab countries surrounding us.
It may seems like I am a naïve person but I am not. I don’t think that at the moment we deepen and teach Arab language in grade school, the tension will stop. It won't stop. But, if we show the Arab world that we are hold out our hand to the Arabs by studying the language, opening to the Arab culture, we can reach reconciliation between nations and agreements. We could live co-exist peacefully in Israel. Winston Churchill once said:"The farther backward you can look the farther forward you will see." I believe we can proof his words – we must reduce the cultural gaps accumulated over the years in order to look forward

I had familiarized myself with the history of the question of a Jewish homeland and the position of the British and the Arabs. I was skeptical, as I read over the whole record up to date, about some of the views and attitudes assumed by the “striped-pants boys” - the State Department (Truman, 1965). Clearly he did not agree with what his administration wanted to do. Truman would have been happy if the UN would solve the conflict, but that was not tangible.

Judaism promoted the separation between religion and state “since it has enabled them to guarantee their legal rights and their civic freedoms.” (Arkush 647). In order to integrate into the non-Jewish world Judaism adopted acculturation; Judaism learned to adopt and implement the ideas, values, and behaviour of non-Jews.
