Original Note:
Only about 30% of Israeli Jews are Ashkenazi - "European" jews. Most have ancestral lineages to Israel, from which they were expelled. The largest Jewish ethnic group in Israel (40% to 45%), is Mizrahi - "Eastern" - referring to Middle Eastern jews, many from Israel. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-mazzig-mizrahi-jews-israel-20190520-story.html https://theconversation.com/israels-mosaic-of-jewish-ethnic-groups-is-key-to-understanding-the-country-217893
