What are native Israeli born Jews called
"2013, of Israel's 8 million people, 75.4% were Jews of any background. Among them, 68% were Sabras (Israeli-born), mostly second- or third-generation Israelis, and the rest are olim (Jewish immigrants to Israel)—22% from Europe and the Americas, and 10% from Asia and Africa, including the Arab countries. Nearly half of all Israeli Jews are descended from Jews who made aliyah from Europe, while around the same number are descended from Jews who made aliyah from Arab countries, Iran, Turkey and Central Asia. Over two hundred thousand are, or are descended from, Ethiopian and Indian Jews. Israel is the only country"
"Israelites The Israelites (; ""Bnei Yisra'el"") were a confederation of Iron Age Semitic-speaking tribes of the ancient Near East, who inhabited a part of Canaan during the tribal and monarchic periods. According to the religious narrative of the Hebrew Bible, the Israelites' origin is traced back to the Biblical patriarchs and matriarchs Abraham and his wife Sarah, through their son Isaac and his wife Rebecca, and their son Jacob who was later called Israel, whence they derive their name, with his wives Leah and Rachel and the handmaids Zilpa and Bilhah. Modern archaeology has largely discarded the historicity of the"
"Israelis Israelis ( ""Yiśraʾelim"", ""al-ʾIsrāʾīliyyin"") are citizens or permanent residents of the State of Israel, a multiethnic state populated by people of different ethnic backgrounds. The largest ethnic groups in Israel are Jews (75%), followed by Arabs (20%) and other minorities (5%). Among the Israeli Jewish population, hundreds of thousands of Jews born in Israel are descended from Ashkenazi Jew, Mizrahi Jews, Sephardi Jews and an array of groups from all the Jewish ethnic divisions, though over 50% of Israel’s Jewish population is of at least partial Mizrahi descent.

"Palestinian Israelitism Palestinian Israelism (Arabic: بني إسرائيل فلسطينيين‎), also knows as Native Israelis is a Palestinian nationalist movement which holds the view that the people of Palestine are genetically, racially, and linguistically the direct descendants of Jews and Samaritans as a consequence Palestinians are not of Arab descent. The majority of the Palestinian people's ancestors chose to convert to Christianity or Islam, but a minority maintained their prior religious beliefs while still living on the land. The movement views Bedouins of Palestine commonly located in the Negev as not being of Jewish or Samaritan descent, but are of Arab descent."

Names like ""Johnson"" and ""Peterson"" may be used in Jewish tradition as they too used the father's name as identification.

"Israel rather than some other country, many had little or no choice about leaving their previous home countries. While Israel is commonly recognized as ""a country of immigrants"", it is also, in large measure, a country of refugees, including internal refugees.

Most African and Asian Jewish communities use the Sephardic prayer ritual and abide by the rulings of Sephardic rabbinic authorities, and therefore consider themselves to be ""Sephardim"" in the broader sense of ""Jews of the Spanish rite"", though not in the narrower sense of ""Spanish Jews""."
