Re: May I direct you to the history of Israel

Hey, I should've clarified. I meant pre-1948 zionism, which was made up mostly of Europeans and their immediate descendents. I know Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews are middle eastern!

I agree that people are just people.

There are certainly a lot more European Jewish people in Israel now but there was also a MASS EXODUS of Jewish people from Islamic countries in North Africa and the Middle East after the creation of Israel, so a large portion ended up there. Also Ethiopian Jewish people

Exactly: after. It was terrible for many middle eastern countries to expel/pressure Jews out in retaliation for the creation of Israel. However, this happened largely because Israel was created. That's not an excuse for something so horrible but it is the continuity.

A lot of the people emptying out Arab towns in Israel around 1948 were therefore of European descent. A lot of Sephardi had a really hard time for a long time in Israel because they seemed so Arabic (similar music, culture, et cetera) and faced discrimination as a result. This included those who had been living in Israel when it was called Palestine; the newcomers were discriminating against native Jews

I would just like to say that I appreciate the fact that you appear to be a history academic of some sort because your comments on historical topics are well-formed and I often learn things from them.
