"are Israeli's from Europe ?
"AI Overview
No, Israelis are not inherently European. While a significant portion of Israeli Jews have European ancestry (Ashkenazi Jews, roughly 30–45%), the majority of Israeli Jews are descendants of families from Middle Eastern, North African, and Asian nations (Mizrahi/Sephardi Jews), alongside a roughly 21% Arab population
.
Demographic Split: Approximately half of Israeli Jews descend from European (Ashkenazi) diaspora, while the other half descends from Middle Eastern/North African nations.
Birthplace: A large majority (around 80%) of Israelis alive today were born in Israel, making them native-born, not immigrants from Europe.
Ancestral Origin: All Jewish ethnic groups, regardless of where they lived in diaspora, trace their origins back to the Middle East, according to historical and genetic evidence.
Cultural Mosaic: Israel is a diverse society comprising Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Sephardi, Ethiopian, and Indian Jews, along with Arab citizens (Muslim, Christian, and Druze).
In summary, Israel is a diverse, predominantly Middle Eastern country by geography and population ancestry, although it has strong cultural, historical, and political ties to Europe. "
Good luck with the Native Americans getting their land back, it was actually stolen again from the British ( the original thieves) 250 years ago. So it's changed hands since.
