Some Israelis are "white", some are not. Some Israelis are true Caucasians, having immigrated directly from the actual Caucasus Mountains of Eurasia. Some Israelis have very darkly pigmented skin, having immigrated from Ethiopia. And then there are pigmentless Israelis who suffer from albinism and who have the palest skin of all. Israel's population is a mosaic of all the world's ethnicities, races, religions, nationalities, lifestyles and philosophies. Like in the United States, immigrants have arrived in Israel from the four corners of the earth and have become citizens of this country. It may not be accurate to say that a majority of Israelis belong to any one particular racial group. Large segments of the population are European, large segments are Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern and a sizable segment is from Central Asia. If these groups meet the definition of "white" then the answer could be a qualified yes. A sizable number of Israelis come from the Indian sub-continent and a lesser number come from East Asia and from Central Africa. The only accurate generalization that can be made about Israelis is that a majority of them are Jewish.
