Israelis are citizens of the State of Israel, located in the Middle East, bordered by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. With a long and complex history, Israelis come from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, particularly Jews, but also include Arabs, Druze, Bedouins, and various minority groups.
The history of Israelis can be traced back to ancient times when the Jewish people formed and developed in the land now known as Israel and Palestine. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) recounts significant stories and events in their history, from patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to the establishment of ancient kingdoms.
After centuries of exile and dispersion, the Zionist movement emerged in the late 19th century, calling for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland. This culminated in the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, leading to numerous conflicts with Palestinians and neighboring countries.
Israelis have a rich cultural landscape that blends Jewish traditions with influences from other ethnic groups. Hebrew is the primary language, but Arabic is widely spoken, especially among the Arab community in Israel.
The Jewish community in Israel is divided into various groups, including Ashkenazi (European Jews), Sephardi (Jews from the Middle East), and Mizrahi (Jews from North Africa and the Middle East). Each group brings its own customs, cuisine, and traditions, creating a diverse cultural tapestry.
Israel is known as a "startup nation" due to its strong development in technology and innovation. Many leading tech companies originated in Israel, spanning fields such as cybersecurity, high-tech agriculture, and healthcare.
Israelis practice a variety of religious beliefs, with Jews being the largest group, followed by Arab Muslims, Christians, and Druze. Religious holidays, such as Yom Kippur and Passover, are often celebrated with widespread participation.
The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is a significant part of the region's history and present. Issues such as borders, territorial rights, and the right of return for Palestinians remain contentious and challenging in the peace process.
Người Israel (tiếng Hebrew: בני ישראל, Bnai Yisraʾel, dịch nghĩa: "con cái của Israel") là một dân tộc và sắc tộc người Semit (Xê-mít) nói tiếng Hebrew tại vùng Cận Đông cổ đại, định cư tại vùng đất thuộc Canaan trong thời kỳ bộ lạc và quân chủ (từ thế kỷ 15 tới thế kỷ 6 TCN). Thuật ngữ Kinh thánh "người Israel" (phát âm như là: Y-xơ-ra-ên hay Ít-xa-ren), còn được gọi là "mười hai chi tộc" hoặc "con cái Israel", mang cả hai nghĩa là hậu duệ trực tiếp của tổ phụ Jacob (Israel) cũng như là cư dân của Vương quốc Israel và Judah thống nhất.[1] Trong giai đoạn hậu lưu đày bắt đầu từ thế kỷ 5 TCN, hai nhóm còn sót lại được biết đến của các chi tộc Israel dần được gọi là người Do Thái và người Samari, sinh sống trên các lãnh thổ tương ứng là Judea & Galilea và Samaria.
