@Amir_97 "As of March 2023, Israel's population stands at approximately 9.73 million. Jews make up the majority at 73.5% (about 7.145 million individuals).[3] The Arab community, spanning various religions excluding Judaism, accounts for 21% (around 2.048 million). An additional 5.5% (roughly 534,000 individuals) are classified as "others." This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christian non-Arabs, Muslim non-Arabs, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.[4]
Beyond the predominant Jewish and Arab communities, there are also smaller ethnic groups, such as the Circassians, Armenians, and Druze."

@SquaredCircIe Ah, so you're into the whole "big guy oppressor, little guy oppressed" thing, huh? Well, if that's always the case, then Israel is not the oppressor, but the oppressed, seeing as they have been attacked many times by much larger surrounding countries/states... often in unison. Moreover, there are less than 20 million Jews, worldwide, but nearly 2 Billion Muslims. That's a 1:100 ratio! I'm guessing you've never thought about it that way?

@Minnnty_grinnn "The Nakba" was used by Arab Authors/Commentators/Leaders to describe the Arab Armies' failure to annihilate the Jews and Israel, in 1948. You see, the day after Israel Declared itself a Nation, 5 Arab Countries declared War on Israel. At the beginning of the War, the Arabs living in the Region were told by their Arab Leaders to flee the region, and then return after all the Jews were dead or dispersed. Well, the Arab Armies failed, miserably, and those who fled became "Palestinian Refugees".
Khaled al-Azm, the Prime Minister of Syria in 1948-49:
“SINCE 1948 WE HAVE BEEN DEMANDING THE RETURN OF THE REFUGEES TO THEIR HOMES. BUT WE OURSELVES ARE THE ONES WHO ENCOURAGED THEM TO LEAVE. ONLY A FEW MONTHS SEPARATED OUR CALL TO THEM TO LEAVE AND OUR APPEAL TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO RESOLVE ON THEIR RETURN.”
“… The fifth factor (e.g. For the Arab failure in 1948) was the call by the Arab governments to the [Arab] inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it and leave for the bordering Arab countries … We brought destruction upon a million Arab refugees by calling on them and pleading with them to leave their land.”
Source The Memoirs of Khaled al-Azm, 3 Volumes, Beirut 1973
... BTW... Those who did not flee became Israeli Citizens... with FULL Rights.
