Answer 2

Israel is home to many different national backgrounds. The largest ethnic groups comprise of Jewish and Arab. However, many Israelis have a mixed heritage of at least two ethnic groups. It is a multicultural nation.

• Answer 2

First of all, note that people born Jewish, both Sephardim and Ashkenazim, are one ethnicity. This has been conclusively demonstrated by DNA analyses.

Israel is 74.5% Jewish, 20.9% Arab, and 4.6% others.

Of the Jews, there are the following nations or regions (not ethnicity) of emigration to Israel, in descending numbers:

Former Soviet Union, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Yemen, Iran, Algeria+Tunisia, North America, Germany+Austria, Turkey, Libya, Egypt, Bulgaria+Greece, India+Pakistan, Argentina, Hungary, former Czechoslovakia, and South Africa; plus several hundred thousand from the rest of Asia, South America and Europe combined (small numbers from each unspecified country in these regions).

The statistic of 20.7% Arabs includes about 185,000 Bedouins, 130,000 Druze, and 7,000 Maronites.

The statistic of 4.3% who are neither Jewish nor Arabs, includes relatively small groups of non-Arab Christians, non-Arab Muslims, Copts, Samaritans, non-Jewish Argentines, Armenians, Circassians, Assyrians, non-Jewish Slavs, Roma, and smaller numbers of others.

There is also a significant number of African refugees who are non-citizens, and non-Jewish workers from Asia and elsewhere. These two groups number some 350,000 people.
