Most Israelis are from the middle east and Africa, where many were ethnically cleansed and driven out from Arab Muslim majority lands and forced to flee to Israel. More Jews fled from Arab Muslim majority lands than the number of Arabs, now called Palestinian, that fled from the new state of Israel in 1948 when Israel was attacked from all sides by Arab armies and from Arab militias within Israel.
Now that these Jews and their descendants are in Israel, they are told once again that they are not welcome and that only the Arabs called Palestinian are entitled to live there.
The Jews from the middle east and Africa and their descendants form the majority population of the state of Israel. These are brown and black skinned Jews.
Before Israel became a state in 1948, the Jews that lived in British controlled Palestine, and before that Ottoman empire controlled Palestine, called themselves Palestinian.
Palestine and Palestinian are the name of a place and of the people that lived in the place, not a people.
Jews have always been native to the land of Israel. Even after the Jewish kingdoms were destroyed and most Jews were dispersed throughout the world, Jews continued to live on the land.
Jews have also lived throughout the middle east and North Africa for thousands of years. Long before the rise of Islam, Jewish tribes lived throughout what is now called Saudi Arabia. After the rise of Islam, Jewish tribes were slaughtered, while other tribes were driven out.
The ethnic cleansing of the Jews, the Nakba of the Jews of the middle east and Africa that continues to be ignored to this day, is the reason there are no longer Jews living in such places as Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, and in far more places.
Despite the myth by some that it is paradise for minorities living under Islamic rule, the Jews of the middle east and Africa have a long history of being persecuted, massacred, forced to convert, forced to pay special taxes, discrimination and more.
Israel is the only safe place for these Jews. If they returned to places like Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Lebanon, Iran and more, they would face certain persecution and most likely sexual abuse and murder.
The Jews that went to lands throughout Europe after the kingdom of the Jews was destroyed by Romans and renamed Palestine to erase any Jewish connection to the land, came to be known as Ashkenazi Jews. Most Jews in North America are Ashkenazi Jews, with smaller populations of brown skinned Mizrachi and Sephardi Jews. Mizrachi and Sephardic Jews are the majority population of Israel.
Almost all of the Ashkenazi Jews that lived in Europe were mass exterminated in the genocide called the holocaust.
Jews are a tiny religious/ethnic minority in the world at large.Only in Israel are they the majority population.
Ashkenazi Jews in general are white skinned. There are certain Jewish born people, white skinned Ashkenazi Jews, most often with no connection to Israel or Judaism other than being born to Jewish parents, that are elitists that think they speak for the brown and black skinned Jews of Israel.
These people are virulently anti-Israel. They know nothing about the experience of the Jews from Muslim majority lands. They know only their false leftist narratives, and could care less about the experiences of the brown and black skinned Jews of Israel.
They think being anti-Israel makes them progressive, and they exploit their being Jewish born to further their narratives. They do not get called out for being privileged white elitists.
Many are the racists on the left, on the right, and of all religions, that hate Israel for being a white colonial state, which it is not, or for some other demented reason. They ignore the brown and black Jews that form Israel's majority population. They ignore the active effort to exterminate all of the Jews of Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah, IRGC, Islamic Jihad and others. They ignore all of the minorities and children that suffer under the weight of the beliefs and ideology that drives Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, the IRGC, Hezbollah, Boko Haram that slaughters in Nigeria and Mali, Al Shabaab slaughtering in Somalia, Al Shabaab of Mozambique murdering on that land, RSF slaughtering in Sudan, Houthis and others slaughtering in Yemen, and far more. They ignore the child marriages destroying the lives of millions of children. If they cannot demonize Israel, they could care less about babies, children, human suffering and life.
