Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Israeli Jews" in English language version.
The Jewish population of modern Israel is made up of communities that differ with respect to geographic origin, spoken language, and traditions. Ashkenazi Jews from Europe and North America, Sephardic Jews from North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia) and southern Europe (Italy, Greece, and Turkey), and Mizrahi Jews from the Middle East (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Egypt) all derive from the Jews [...] dispersing with the Babylonian exile in 586 BCE. After the formation of the state of Israel in 1948, Jews from all these regions immigrated to the country. Today, roughly half of Jewish people live in Israel, yielding an Israeli Jewish population that is approximately 47% Ashkenazi, 30% Sephardi, and 23% Mizrahi. In a study conducted in Israel a few years after its founding, high rates of consanguineous marriage were observed, with the lowest rate (2.5%) among Ashkenazi Jews, and higher rates among non-Ashkenazi Jews, with the highest prevalence (29%) among Jews from Iraq. During the intervening years, inter-community marriages have become frequent, and consanguineous marriages are much less common
