"People seem to forget that that Israeli's are just another bunch of Arabs" - What a load of rubbish - telling a jew that would go down well - not!
Most jews are either Ashkenazi, Sephardi or Mizrachi...
Ashkenazic: Descendants of Jews from France, Germany and Eastern Europe. Sephardic: Descendants of Jews from Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Middle East. Mizrachi: Descendants of Jews from North Africa and the Middle East.
Other subgroups are Yemenite, Ethiopian and Oriental.
