The point of this map is to illustrate some of the national history for the ancestry of some of the Jews (and some Arabs) in Israel, the holy land, Palestine, whatever one wishes to call it, there are Jews from over 100 countries – including these noted Arab countries and more.
Maybe about 32% + were native born Sabra Jews before the great expulsions to Israel in 1947. Sabras — Jews of the Holy Land for many generations — are local Jews and so they are Palestinian Jews. One lady showed me an old expired passport from her childhood and it is Palestinian and she was certainly noted as a Jew.

The Muslim countries who, in the 1947 expulsions, sent almost 2 million Jews to the Holy Land, did not care a jot for the Palestinians who were there — Muslim or Christian. They did not care that there was not enough anything, food, resources, infrastructure to take care of who lived there, much less an entirely new population.
The Sabras and the expellees have nowhere to go; they were at home in the holy land and they were are Palestinian Jews. Many Christians were there too and also unwanted by the fundamentalist Muslims. The Christian Arabs living there also trace their roots back many generations, almost back to the disciples of Christ.
Who are the much maligned imported Jews?
This was the situation when the UN and powers started steps for the creation of Israel in 1947, but the migration and expulsions continued up to recent decades. Russia sent almost a million in 1989.
1947
Morocco deported to Israel 42,000 Jews. Algeria deported over a quarter of a million Jews. Iran almost a half a million, 60,000 from Yemen. The Algerians did not care about the Palestinians’ needs or wishes, nor did the Moroccans or any of these countries.
Let’s read the map again.

So it is wrong to say the Israelis are nothing but a bunch of eastern Europeans who do not belong there.
And when you look at the y-DNA — which traces paternal lines through father after father — you can see that they all match: Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Egyptians and Palestinians descended from the same g.g.g.g.grandfathers as the Jews. And countless Arabs have in their y-DNA matches, Jews of Eastern Europe and Jews of the Arab world.
This fight is brother to brother – cousin to cousin – like it or not and know it or not, believe it or not.
The Jews in Israel belong there as much as any any other people wanting a homeland. Just as much as this Arab Palestinian/Syrian/Lebanese y-DNA that I read. The men all share the same clear solid roots in the Fertile Crescent.
And if one were to say: Jews go back where you came from? How do you send Jews to Saudi or Iran? Iran won’t have them, but they will send money and bombs to kill them. And in doing so, Iran and the likes make it clear they do not care a jot whether the Palestinians ever have peace. They do not care that Lebanon does not have peace.
There were 460,000 Iranian Jews expelled to Israel at 1947.
And Iran sends money and bombs to kill them.
AI gives some basic memories of history and herstory
In 1947, the total population of Palestine was approximately 1.97 million, with the majority being Muslims (around 1.18 million), followed by Jews (approximately 630,000) and Christians (about 143,000). These figures are estimates based on data from the British Mandate and demographic research.
- Total Population: ~1.97 million
- Muslims: ~1.18 million
- Jews: ~630,000
- Christians: ~143,000
In 1947 the Jews said yes to a two state solution; the Arab Muslims said never.
And one of the most vicious fights in Earth’s history, herstory began.
And to think it has gone from hope to torture and possible sodomy of prisoners. It has gone from cease fires to shooting and killing unarmed, surrendered, men on their knees with their arms raised.
