    Mizrahi being the largest demographic is a recent change. Ashkenazi have historically been the largest.

      There used to be way more Ashkenazi Jews up until the 40s or so. I wonder what happened.

        Not true either.

        While the Israeli government does not track ethnicity of its Jewish population, many studies have been completed.

        Ashkenazi Jews were historically the majority of Jews in Israel. However as immigration from European countries and the USSR increased, the demographics changed. The majority of French Jews are Sephardic and many Jews from the USSR are Mizrahi.

        Of the 7 million Jewish Israelis, only 900,000 immigrated from the Arab world.

        So a completely false narrative peddled by someone who clearly has an agenda.
