Every Israeli ethnic group influences Israel. Since Israel is a democracy, all of its various constituent peoples have the ability to raise their voice and run for political office. Since Israel has numerous parties and coalitions need to be formed to govern effectively, even small parties can have a strong and powerful say in the government.

How many Messianic Jews are there in Israel?
answer:
There are approximately 8,000 Messianics living throughout Israel. However, a true count is almost impossible as many Christian evangelical groups are now referring to themselves as Messianic Jews.
answer:
There are approximately 8,000 Messianic Jews known to be living throughout Israel. However, a true count is almost impossible for several reasons, INCLUDING THAT:
- Many Messianic Jews are considered to be Non-Messianic Jews by the Israeli government. [Supervisor's note: The Israeli government has no such designation as "not religious".]
- Many Patrilineal and even Matrilineal Jews are already not considered Jewish enough to be counted as Jews. Couple that and their Messianic Jewishness, and they are left all the more uncounted as Jewish. [Supervisor's note: Israel doesn't recognize ANY patrilineal Jews as Jewish]

What is Israel's ethnic makeup?
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 ethnicities in Israel are listed below:
1) Endemically Palestinian: The largest ethnicity of Israeli citizens (approximately 1.7 million Israelis) are those who can trace their ancestry to the territory of the former Mandate of Palestine while it was still under Ottoman occupation. The majority of these citizens are non-Jewish and are identified as Israeli Arabs.
2) Russian: After the Russian mass immigration to Israel in the early 1990s, Russians make up the largest Jewish ethnicity (at approximately 1.4 million Israelis).
3) 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).
The remainder of Israelis hail mostly from Europe, North America, the Arab World, and small minorities from Africa, South America, and East Asia. However, this geographic mixing and matching refers to people's ethnicities. Most Israelis are Israeli-born, not foreign-born.

What relationships do the US and Israel have in common?
The official term for the relationship between the United States and Israel is a "Special Relationship".
This relationship arises from a variety of sources. Israel has cooperated with the United States on diplomatic issues, military and intelligence exchanges, large amounts of trade, and significant technological investment. In addition there a numerous Americans who support the State of Israel because of religious convictions on top of the already-listed reasons. The United States government, therefore takes a pro-Israel stance in international politics and is often seen as Israel's backer.
Israel and the United States started on friendly terms with the United States approving the 1947 Partition Plan. However, until the Six-Day War of 1967, the United States did not see Israel as a country that would exist in the long-term because of Arab belligerence against the State. After Israel's stunning victory in that war, the United States became Israel's primary Western Ally and began to trade technologies, both civilian and military, with Israel.
Religious Answer
Because quite simply they are antichrist. They do not believe in God. But they are not the only ones. Most western countries, arguably America included, have become antichrist. We have a large Christian population but I do not see it as a majority any more. I think God will intervene and save Israel in the last days. I no longer look to a nation such as the United States.
Geopolitical Answer
Russia in its Soviet Days chose to support the Arab States against the United States supported Israel in order to engage in proxy wars with the Americans. Russian continuing support of the Arab World necessarily pushes it to oppose Israel. The Arab World continues to buy outdated Russian weaponry and use Russian technological expertise in Oil Drilling and Export. Furthermore, it gives Russia more petroleum leverage. (Considering that the Middle East and Russia have the two largest petroleum reserves, the two can effectively direct policy when working in tandem.) This type of leverage allows Russia to remain a major player on the world-stage and influencing politics.
As for Russia being un-Christian, this is not the case. Russia is majority Russian Orthodox, a faith that was suppressed during the Soviet Era, but has now come back relatively strongly. Russia is not as religious as the United States, but more religious than Western Europe.
Israel's key allies include the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Israel also has strong diplomatic relations with countries such as Canada, Australia, and India. These alliances are based on shared democratic values, military partnerships, and economic cooperation.
Is there homophobia in Israel?
Homophobia is in every country, but Israel does have one of the most gay-friendly cultures on the planet. Gay people would only find significant homophobia in Muslim and Christian villages, as well as ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods.
