Answer 1

The majority of the Jewish population in Israel today were born in Israel. The minority who are not native born immigrated from every nation on earth.

Answer 2

The Land of Israel was carved out of then Palestine which has now become an occupied territory. Over time forced settlements were established to allow for the mass exodus of Jewish migration into the region under the eyes of the international community. Some would say that these were illegal settlements and a process of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the region. Israel now includes many other religions as a result of migratory workforce from the borders. Jews came from all areas of the world and out of exile to live in Israel.

Answer 3

The Jews of Israel have many different nationalities, but the vast majority of Israelis are Israeli-born, not foreign-born. As a result, most of the nationalities refer to where people's grandparents or great-grandparents came from.

Israelis are from a variety of different places around the world, similar to Americans. There is also a lot intermarriage between Jews from different areas, which makes the Demographics difficult to hash out. However, the most common nationalities of Jews Israel are listed below:

1) Russian: After the Russian mass Immigration to Israel in the early 1990s, Russians make up the largest Jewish nationality (at approximately 1.4 million Israelis).

2) Moroccan: Due to the large Moroccan Jewish immigration in the early 1950s and continuing trickle into the 1970s, the Moroccan Jewish community in Israel is still very large (at approximately 1.2 million Israelis).

3) Iraq: There was a quick burst of Iraqi Jewish immigration to Israel from 1950-1952 where nearly 150,000 Iraqi Jews came to Israel. (They and their descendants now constitute about 300,000 Israelis.)

4) Polish: The primary thrust of Polish immigration to Israel was both prior to the independence of the State of Israel and immediately after independence. The first Polish immigrants were a minority among the Halutzim or Jewish Pioneers. The later Polish immigrants were survivors of the Holocaust. (Their descendants now constitute about 300,000 Israelis.)

The remainder of Israelis hail mostly from Europe, North America, the Arab World, and small minorities from Africa, South America, and East Asia.
