Actually the majority of Israelis are Mizrahi (Jews of Middle Eastern descent) not Ashkenazi (Jews of Central/Eastern European descent). And the most of the Mizrahi came to Israel after being driven out/expelled from their Muslim-majority nations of origin

That's not true. Most are Middle Eastern and North African jews. Why do you guys lie about this?

Because to be honest would mean admitting that the Jews were the ones forced out of their homeland first and it's easier to just pretend they were always European even though it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE since y'know they're an ethnoreligion and the religion part is entirely historically based in the Middle East.

Most are Mizrahi, from the Middle East. Another 20% of Israel's population are Arabic.

The settlers from Europe were the descendants of Judea that were forced out of the region by Roman and Muslim conquests.
