Are Jews the main ethnic group in Israel?

Israel is the only country in the world with Jews as its main ethnic group.

But it can't be said that Israel is Jewish.

The main ethnic groups in Israel include Jews, Arabs and Druze.

According to the data of the Israeli Census Bureau, until April 20 18, the population of Israel was 8.842 million.

Among them, Jews account for 74.8% (mostly Ashkenazi Jews), Arabs account for 20%, and there are 5% "other" races.

Among the Jews, 68% were born in Israel, usually the second or third generation Israelis, while among the other 32% who were born abroad, 22% came from Europe and 65,438+00% came from Asia and Africa, including the Arab world.

Extended data:

Jews, also known as Jewish nation, a branch of Semitic people, are of the same origin as Arabs, and the race is Europa Semitic-Hermite subspecies, which are widely distributed in all countries of the world.

Jews usually have two situations.

Broadly speaking, according to the definition of halaka in Jewish law, all people who convert to Judaism (religious significance) and those born to Jewish mothers (national significance) belong to Jews.

In a narrow sense, it should be traced back to history in the category of "race". Jews originated from Hebrew in Israel or West Asia.
