There was never a time when the Ashkenazi had ever lived anywhere in the Middle East and therefore the Arabs did not know them – that is until 1882 when a bunch of European people began to arrive in Palestine claiming to be the Hebrews – which was such a strange claim because the Ashkenazi had absolutely nothing in common with the people of the Middle East and everything about them was completely foreign to the Middle East. The claim to return to Palestine was just an excuse because they were on a parasitic mission looking for a free Arab land to grab.
