    Israeli Jews not European but Middle Eastern?

    well this is a fascinating query because it depends on when you’re asking the question. pre 1950s I’d say for sure, yes, the vast majority were of middle eastern origin, but after the holocaust? no, millions of european jews and also soviet jews (russia, belarus, ukraine but also the stan countries all pushed enormous amounts of their jews to immigrate) after Israel began to grow changed that.
