mizrahim

The inclusion of the Mizrahim is no different from e.g.

The fact that mizrahim have a grudge to hold doesn't mean that it's necessarily right; all I'm saying that they do have a huge grudge.

That decolonization could represent programs known to their authors as means of eradicating Jewish people (and, in particular, the plurality Mizrahim population of Israel) is not a fever dream.

The Mizrahim from Arab states migrated in numbers after the State of Israel was proclaimed.

What the Arabs (not the Palestinians) did wrong, which hurt the Palestinian cause immensely was to expel the Mizrahim after the Nakba.

The Mizrahim are generally more conservative, and the Ashkenazim are generally more liberal.

No serious academics contest the numbers of Sephardic / Mizrahim expelled from Arab Muslim nations after 1948 either that I've read.

The Seohardic Jews and Mizrahim lived in largely Muslim countries for centuries after Islamic empires conquered most of the middle east starting with the Rashidun Caliphate.

The Mizrahim generally arrived in Israel after the Nakba (in a series of counter-Nakbas), and were poorer, more rural, and less privileged than the Israelis who met them there.

Some commentators believe the Mizrahim vote more far right and tend to be pro the Gaza war because of the ethnic cleansing that their parents and grandparents endured from the Muslim states.

Why, do you think, in modern Israel it's exactly the mizrahim, jews from Muslim Arab countries, are one of the mast hawkish, anti-Arab groups in Israel?

Concretely, Israel is the product of (1) both political and religious Zionist movements, (2) a massive refuge movement by Jews who could no longer live in Europe, (3) a similarly sized refugee movement of Sephardim and Mizrahim from the Middle East, and (4) people (both Muslim and Jewish) already living in the borders of Israel.

Most stats I've seen suggest that the Mizrahim are at least a plurality of Israelis, and none of those people can return to their "colonialist home countries".

They're the "Mizrahim", they're a huge chunk of the population, Israel is literally their only homeland, and they tend to be more right-wing than the "settler-colonialist" Ashkenazim, who tend towards the left.

We will again cover it with our blood before we allow it to be wrested away from us." Additionally, many Jews lived in Israel since antiquity (Old Yishuv), many more throughout the middle east (Mizrahim, Sephardim), and many more visited Israel.

I think you'll find that very few countries have a clean, coherent claim to "nationhood" or native self-determination, and that after a century of pogroms pushed Jewish people from around Asia and Africa to their historic cultural and religious homeland, Israeli Mizrahim have a better claim than most --- certainly better than that of Americans to Tulsa or Cincinatti.

However, this doesn't even matter, because most Israeli Jews are Mizrahim, from the Middle East and North Africa.

Although intermarriage between Ashkenazim and Sephardim/Mizrahim is increasingly common in Israel, and social integration is constantly improving, disparities continue to persist.

The majority of Israelis descend either from refugees from Europe (Ashkenazim), or refugees from Arab/Muslim countries (Mizrahim) whose homes were stolen by Europeans or Arabs, respectively.
