Jewish Children do NOT need to learn Arabic.
Jewish Children NEED to learn Jewish History, going all the way back to when Moses led our ancestors out of Mitzrayim. Especially, each of the times we were expelled from Eretz Yisrael and banished into other nations.
And this of course means how our people ended up in Yemen, and Spain, and what they contributed to that nation, and then what that nation did in return in 1492. And of course, how our people ended up in Europe, what they were NOT allowed to contribute, and the resulting Final Solution.
And then, and only then, how some of us went to a tiny malaria infested area in the Middle East, dug swamps, and laid the cornerstone for Jewish settlement in Israel and created several settlements - Rishon LeZion, Rosh Pinna, Zikhron Ya'akov, Gedera (a total of 28 moshavot). Those "some of us" were pioneering religious Jews from Yemen and Eastern Europe, who came in the 1880s.
The history so far encompasses thousands of years.
After all this, and only after all this, the socialists arrived to establish a secular state, ignoring the long history previous to their venture. That state is the Israel of today. And most Israelis, once children of this new venture, are totally ignorant of our people's journey of Jewish history.
B"H We, the remaining descendants, are returning from the nations we have spent too many years living in, to our inheritance from G-d, who gave this land to Avraham, Yitzhak, and Yisrael's future generations.
We have much to teach the Jewish Children of our inheritance and their responsibilities, and Arabic is NOT necessary. Arabic is the language of those who refuse to accept our being, our history, and our return to our homeland. It has become a language of hate and destruction.
And today, along comes a vocally brazen member of Likud and 'in your face' says:
"There is a long list of laws that I intend to promote," (...) stated on Army Radio, The initiatives include, "among other things, learning Arabic from first grade, restricting the age for drinking energy drinks and [..] and changing the Planning and Construction Law."
I think he is terribly misguided, loud and politically obnoxious, and needs to benefit from a return to kindergarten, to start learning the real history of Jews and what is really important for us.

Hi Neshama,
I agree that on the whole, Jews don't need to learn Arabic, particularly for the reasons given.
However, if a person comes from a mizrahi family that still speaks Arabic, along with Hebrew, we must not discourage him/her from learning it from their family. How else would we know what our enemies are saying?
For that matter, if the US government had really wanted to defeat the murderers after 9/11, they would have allowed mizrahi Jews there to be the gatekeepers and translators from Arabic - and not the Arabs they did let in. That was when I realized they weren't serious, and it didn't take very long to come out.
CDG: You don't think 911 was a false flag?
Neshama, it's not a matter of what I think, but of what actually happened. I am not defending the US government - they didn't let Anne Frank and her family into the country (not to mention many thousands more); I would have rather seen her alive with grandchildren and great-grand children by now, and I have never read the book - I don't need 911 to be a false flag op to see that the US does not mean well, especially by the Jewish nation. Back in 2001, I didn't think about it.
