Iran said it launched dozens of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Saturday in a major attack following days of acute tension building up in the region and warnings from the US and elsewhere about a wider conflict erupting.

Air attack warning sirens began wailing over Jerusalem just before 2am local time on Sunday after the weapons were fired a few hours earlier from Iran with US and Jordanian military assisting Israel’s air defenses in intercepting the first incoming barrage.

With weapons believed to be still in the air en route to Israel, Iran’s mission to the United Nations posted on X: “Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded.”

However, it threatened more severe action in the face of further Israeli aggression and warned the US and Jordan specifically not to assist Israel.

Those in the area of places like Nazareth are simply Palestinians. Some of them seem to have a "Palestinian-Israeli" identity. As of now; they know of their Palestinian origins. They follow Palestinian traditions and are now starting to protest the war in Gaza (though it took them 6 months to get permission to protest I guess -- perhaps you can clarify).

I'll give you Haifa where so many Palestinians were killed or purged out, Arab culture may have gotten weaker. I have read that Haifa Palestinians fit best in Israeli society.

Looking around on the internet, I see that Jaffa has an actual "Palestinian" (not Palestinian-Israeli or Arab Israeli) identifying position. Which makes sense as Jaffa was a Palestinian town and Tel Aviv was built around it.

There are no government statistics categorizing Israeli Jews as “Ashkenazi”, “Mizrahi”, etc, but studies and estimates have been conducted.[50][51] In a 2019 study,

Is this self-identified or is it genetic based? I'm a little curious on how Israeli culture is affected by European Jews raising a lot of the North African

in what country does jewish culture belongs?

This is a loaded question. The Palestinians had to be pushed around a lot. I see posts about how Gaza actually had many Palestinian refugees. The issue isn't Israeli's are mainly Jewish; it's about the crimes done by foreign actors against Palestinians who are the natives of Palestine. Your question FEELS more like "should not we keep punishing Palestinians for getting in the way of setting up a country on their land?" Another way to put it is why are Palestinians still paying for Hitler's atrocities while Germany is doing so well?

Also, Germany and France have a lot of antisemitic laws, to answer your question directly.

edit: I guess I should call those laws anti-antisemitic laws
