A little history.....while I guess the term Sabra can describe anyone who is tough on the outside, but sweet on the inside, it was originally used to describe a new generation of Israelis. It was the Israelis that were bought up on Kibutzes and were for the most part native born. At least, that is how I always understood the term.
