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.
