What is the composition of Israeli population by origin? Appropriate parts from different countries/regions?

Question

What where parts of local Jews and Jews from different countries when Israel was formed? Or at least what populations were from Arab countries, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, America, Africa, etc.?

How later immigrants differed by countries/regionsof origin?

Are these differences reflected in identity of present population? How big portion people born in Israel make now?

Answer 1

The only thing the CIA World Factbook has to say on this is:

Jewish 80.1% (Europe/America-born 32.1%, Israel-born 20.8%, Africa-born 14.6%, Asia-born 12.6%), non-Jewish 19.9% (mostly Arab) (1996 est.)

It doesn't get into any specific detail at all about which countries or percentages from each. You need much more detailed population breakdowns etc; this only gets into it by continent, not countries. It does give you a figure of 20.8% actually born in Israel.

Answer 2

The population is majority European and American Jews. As for the leadership and why there even is a nation called Israel, your answer is that European and American Jews demanded of Britain, the US and the UN what they didn't have the power to give. Being of white male hegemony (I can't imagine Kofi Anan agreeing to this kind of stunt) they magnanimously bequeathed most of Palestine upon the band of European/American Jews who promptly renamed it Israel and started fighting with all their neighbors, and it's been hell on wheels ever since.

Many of the indigenous semitic Jews moved away from the conflict to Egypt and Iraq, which were quite tolerant states up until recently for Jews.

Most of the immigrants to Israel through the fall of the Soviet system were Eastern European and Russian Jews. Now, they are hurting for immigrants and losing young people, because fewer and fewer people think living in an armed camp permanently is a good idea.

Answer 3

The Jewish Israeli population differed also in country of origin; the population included African-Asian and European-American Jews, and native-born Israelis, or sabras (see Glossary). In the oldest age-groups, those of European-American provenance, called "Ashkenazim," predominated, reflecting the population of the pre-1948 era. By the early 1970s, the number of Israelis of African-Asian origin outnumbered European or American Jews. In Israel, immigrants from African and Asian countries were called either Orientals, from the Hebrew Edot Mizrah (communities of the East), or Sephardim (see Jewish Ethnic Groups , this ch.), from an older and different usage. It was not until 1975 that the sabras outnumbered immigrants

Answer 4

because the Jews are the invaders in this difficulty. they don't have any proper to this land, and yet more and more of them are available in there pushing the unique Palestinian inhabitants out. The Jews in that area have earned each thing they get, they're back the INVADERS, no longer the Palestinians. They left that area 2000 years in the past. it truly is in uncomplicated words because the Jews are valuable financially that they get any help from the US or ecu, eliminate their funds, and also you eliminate their power, and the Jews are in uncomplicated words wealthy because the Catholic church banned usury among Catholics, leaving Jews in the suited position to take advantage the thousands of Europe by technique of turning into moneylenders.
