There was a fear in Russia that the Circassians, as Muslims, could rise up against the Russian Orthodox Christians on behalf of the Ottoman Empire as a fifth column. Additionally, the Circassians were occupying prime farmland that the Russians wished to use.

Bruce Douglas Mackey has written:

'The Circassians in Jordan'

During the mid 1800s, Russian leaders suppressed the Circassians. Through a series of raids they uprooted these people due to ethnic hatred and forced them out of the area into the Ottoman empire. An estimated 600,000 Circassians lost their lives.

There are several ethnic groups that would qualify such as the Armenians, the Circassians, the Chechens, Assyrians, Georgians, the Azeris, the Zazas, and the Ossetians, but the most famous and the most populous are the Kurds.

There are a number of them. Many of them are even refugees in their own land.

These groups are: the Palestinians, Kurds, Circassians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Blacks from Sub-Saharan Africa among others.

The main ethnic groups in Turkey are Turks, Kurds, Arabs, and others such as Circassians, Bosniaks, and Albanians. Turks make up the majority of the population, while Kurds are the largest minority group. These ethnic groups have diverse cultures, languages, and histories.

The likely answer you are looking for is KURDS and PALESTINIANS, but there are numerous other stateless peoples in the Middle East like the Assyrians, Laz, Circassians, Druze, Shabakis, Marsh Arabs, and Turkmen/Turcoman.

The dominant ethnic group in Turkey are the Turks. There are a number of minorities as well, such as Kurds (by far the largest minority), Arabs, Armenians, Assyrians, Azeris, Chechens, Circassians, Georgians, Greeks, Jews, Laz, Romani, and Syriacs.

There are several ethnic groups in Russia that wish to form their own countries. Probably the most vocal and militant are the Chechens in the Caucasus region, but there are also the Circassians, Udmurts, and Tatars among several others.

"Palestinian" is usually used to refer to the Arab former inhabitants of the British Mandate of Palestine and their descendants regardless of whether they live in those borders or not. Jews, Bedouins, Circassians and Druze Arabs who live or whose ancestors lived in that territory are not considered Palestinians.

The most common ethnic group in Turkey is the Turks, who make up the majority of the population. However, Turkey is also home to smaller ethnic groups such as Kurds, Arabs, Circassians, and others.

Yes, a couple of million. Most Non-Jewish citizens of Israel, often called Arab-Israelis as a group, are ethnic Palestinian Muslims (roughly 1.6 million), but there are Druze, Circassians, Bedouins, Arab Christians, Armenians, and other assorted minorities who all have Israeli citizenship.

No. The lower age limit is 18; and the upper age limit is around 40.

Note: There are numerous non-Jewish battalions in the Israeli Army. Among the most decorated units are the Druze battaltions. There are also Circassians and Bedouins in the Israeli Army (both are Muslim groups).

Yes.

Numerous Muslims serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. The majority come from Bedouin families as opposed to the Palestinian Israelis, but there are some Palestinian Muslim Israelis who serve proudly in the IDF. Most Bedouins when asked about whether there is a Muslim injunction on fighting other Muslims, they respond by asking: And what about all of the wars between Muslim States? Circassians are another Muslim minority in Israel who serve in the army, but unlike the Bedouins who volunteer, Circassian males are conscripted mandatorily.

There is a requirement for all Jews, all male Druze, and all male Circassians to serve in the Israeli Army. Bedouins and Palestinian Israelis have the choice to enlist or not.

It is worth noting that although Druze are similar to Muslims, both Muslims and Druze believe that the Druze are a distinct religion.

Iraq is primarily Arab with some minorities like Kurds and Yazidi in the north. Iran is a multi-ethnic country made up primarily of Persians, but also Dari, Pashto, and Balochs in the East and Kurds, Azeri, Circassians, and Arabs in the West. Persians consider themselves to be Caucasians, not Arabs.

Islam arrived in the US through the immigration of Muslim immigrants. The earliest communities of Muslims to come to the US did so towards the end of the 19th century and included communities of Circassians and Turks. After World War II, immigration from the Islamic World to the US would rise, especially from the Middle East and North Africa region and the Indian Subcontinent.

The overwhelming majority of Iranians speak Farsi even if they are not ethnically Persian. It is upon the ethnicity that the divide in treatment typically occurs. Some ethnicities like Kurds and Circassians are predominantly Sunni and this causes problems for the Shiite government.

Other groups like the Azeri and the Arabs have strong nationalist sentiments, to which the Iranian government responds with abject repression.

Israel's ethical groups are the same as any other country: Moral, Amoral, and Immoral.

If the question meant ethnic groups as opposed to ethical groups, there are several major ones: Ashkenazi Jews from Western or Central Europe, Russian Jews, American Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Palestinian Arabs, Druze Arabs, Bedouin Arabs, Circassians, Armenians, and Greek Orthodox.

Israel's population is mostly made up of Jewish people, with a significant minority of Arab citizens (including Muslims, Christians, and Druze). There are also smaller communities of other ethnic and religious groups, such as Bedouins and Circassians.

Neither, both compose roughly 40% each of Israel's population (maybe 35-45).

Roughly 20% of Israel's population is made up of non-Jews, generally called Israeli Arabs. The Israeli Arabs are made up of ethnic Palestinian Muslims, ethnic Palestinian Christians, Druze, Bedouins, Circassians, Baha'i, Maronites, and Armenians.

Israeli - be specific.

The majority of Israelis are Jews, but the Jewish community of Israel is very diverse, having a large numbers of Russian Jews, Moroccan Jews, European Jews, Jews from Arab countries, African Jews, and numerous other Jewish minorities. Additionally, there are many non-Jewish minorities as well such as Palestinian Muslims, Palestinian Christians, Druze, Baha'i, Circassians, Armenians, Orthodox Christians, etc.

Yes, Israeli Arabs can served in the Israeli armed services. However, they are not required to do so, it's on a voluntary basis.

Israeli Arab minorities like the Druze and the Circassians do have mandatory male service in the Israeli army. The Bedouins serve voluntarily, but have a relatively high service rate. It is ethnic Palestinians, especially ethnic Muslim Palestinians, who often do not serve in the Israeli Army. Many of them, especially in the older generation, see service in the Israeli Army as a betrayal of their ethnic Palestinian nature.

There are certain privileges and responsibilities based on what ethnic group (based on religion) you ascribe to in Israeli society. Of course, all Israelis have the most important and basic rights, but certain particular differences arise between groups. Israeli Jews, Druze, and Circassians have mandatory service in the Israeli Army. Arab Israelis have the right to get an education in Arabic instead of Hebrew. No person of one religion can be intermarried with someone of a different religion unless those two religions permit it (which no Israeli-recognized religion permits).

If he is an American citizen from Arab descent. "Arab" usually meaning ' any person from anywhere in the Middle East' whose family speaks Arabic, not including Jews, Circassians, Persians, or Turks. An Arab-American is simply an American who has Arab ethnicity. Usually Arab-Americans can trace their family back to a country in the Middle East or North Africa. There are a large number of Christian Arab-Americans, who are typically first or second generation Americans, and large number of Muslim Arab-Americans, who are typically foreign-born or first generation Americans.

The Middle East is today home to numerous long established ethnic groups, including; Arabs, Turks, Persians, Jews/Israelis, Kurds, Assyrians (Chaldo-Assyrians), Arameans-Syriacs, Egyptian Copts, Armenians, Azeris, Maltese, Circassians, Greeks, Turcomans, Shabaks, Yazidis, Mandeans, Georgians, Roma, Gagauz, Berbers, Mhallami and Samaritans.

Of course Non-Jews are permitted to join the Israeli Defense Forces; Non-Jews have been part of the IDF since its inception. The mandatory draft was extended to the Druze in 1956 and Druze, Bedouins, and Circassians have volunteered in high numbers for positions in the Israeli Defense Forces since Israeli Independence in 1948. Ethnic-Palestinian Israeli citizens are also permitted to join the Israeli Defense Forces, but rarely do since many Ethnic-Palestinians Israeli citizens do not want to open fire on other Palestinians.

Yes and No.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict has its origins in the confrontation between immigrant Zionist Jews or Yishuv in the Mandate of Palestine and their interaction with the indigenous Settled Arabs or Fellahin in the 1920s and 1930s. Before that point, the immigration into the land had been a small trickle and Fellahin were not terribly concerned. However, the Jewish immigration in the 1920s was quite large and disruptive. By the mid 1930s, both sides had developed militias which they used both to attack British colonial institutions and each other. Jews also flooded back to the Holy Land following World War II, since they felt that they would always be persecuted in countries where they were the minority. In 1947, as UN Resolution 181 was being debated, a full-scale war erupted between the Jewish militias and the Arab militias which is called the Jewish-Arab Engagement. When Israel declared its independence in 1948, the Arab States joined in the War which caused it to be internationally recognized and called the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. The on and off conflict that has remained unresolved for over half a century now.

Therefore, if we use the terms Israeli and Palestinian retroactively to those people who would eventually identify or would be identified as Israelis or Palestinians, the conflict started during the 1920s. If we require that these terms be strictly applied, then the conflict started in 1948 when Israel declared its independence.

However, merely being culturally different was not the only reason that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict started. There were also non-Fellahin in Palestine such as the Druze, Bedouins, and Circassians. These Arabs and the Circassians actually did endear themselves to the Yishuv and developed strong bonds with them. The Jews and Druze were jointly able to secure Druze rights to Nabi Shu'ayb, which is a Druze holy site. In return, Druze pledged themselves to the physical defense of the Yishuv and fought alongside Jews in the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949 and in all other Arab-Israeli Conflicts. The Circassians have similarly fought alongside Jews in exchange for recognition of their unique cultural heritage and societal integration. The Bedouins were able to strike a strong trade relationship with the Yishuv. The Yishuv was often able to provide Bedouin camps with water and additional jobs. The Bedouins in turn helped the Yishuv maintain a strong agricultural food base, especially in the Galilee Region. Similarly, Bedouins have served alongside Jews in Israel. Currently the Druze are over-represented in the Knesset and are members of nearly every political party except the Religious Jewish Parties.

The reason that the Fellahin, who are now the Palestinians, objected to the Jewish State in addition to cultural difference was that they wanted to create their own country. The Druze, Circassians, and Bedouins knew that they would never have a population large enough to have their own country and so were willing to settle with the Jews who would respect their unique cultures and rights. The Palestinians were not so willing.

Yes, of course, in fact there are even some Muslims and Arabs in the Israeli forces.

According to Israeli Law, all Jewish male and female citizens of the country, unless they have a religious exception, are drafted into the IDF. All Druze men and all Circassian men are similarly drafted (but without a religious exception). Druze is a unique religion that diverged from Shiite Islam around 1000 years ago. Circassians are a Caucasus ethnic group who practice Islam. Additionally, a large number of Bedouins (who are Muslim) as well as small numbers of Christian-Israelis and ethnic Palestinian Muslim Israelis volunteer for the IDF.

Every Israeli ethnic group influences Israel. Since Israel is a democracy, all of its various constituent peoples have the ability to raise their voice and run for political office. Since Israel has numerous parties and coalitions need to be formed to govern effectively, even small parties can have a strong and powerful say in the government.

Some ethnic groups with influence in Israel include: Secular Liberal Israeli Jews, Secular Conservative Israeli Jews, Nationalist Russian Jews, Orthodox Ashkenazi (European) Jews, Orthodox Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Jews, Druze, ethnic Palestinian Muslims, ethnic Palestinian Christians, Bedouins, and Circassians.

The IDF is composed mostly of Jews, both since Jews are the majority ethnic/religious group in Israel and because both male and female Jews are forcibly conscripted into the Israeli Army (unless they have an Ultra-Orthodox exemption). Druze Israeli males and Circassian Israeli males also have mandatory conscription, but the Druze and the Circassians together make up around 1-2% of all Israelis. Bedouin Israeli males often serve by choice, but there is no requirement for them to serve. A few ethnic Palestinians, more Christians than Muslims also serve in the Israeli Defense Forces.

There is currently a debate in Arab Israeli society concerning how much Arab Israelis should be contributing to the Israeli Defense Forces.

No. African slaves and African freemen came to the US even prior to its inception. At the moment of US independence, the population of South Carolina was one-third African. Chinese and Japanese began immigrating to the West Coast in the 1850s and Chinese actually constituted 10% of the population of California in 1880. The first Jews arrived in the US prior to US independence and George Washington gave an address at Touro Synagogue, the oldest synagogue in the Continental USA. The first Muslims who established a community in the USA were Turks and Circassians who immigrated in the late 1800s and built up communities in the state of New Jersey. Hispanics were the majority of the population in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico when the US "won them" from Mexico in the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848.

There are between 7 and 9 million people who practise Islam in Russia, and that the rest are only Muslims by ethnicity. Muslim communities are concentrated among the various minority nationalities residing between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea: Adyghe, Balkars, Chechens, Circassians, Ingush, Kabardin, Karachay, and numerous Dagestani peoples.

There is no need to assert this identity, but some people and political parties find it works as a common rallying point since the overwhelming majority of people in the Arab World are Arabs and Muslims. It provides a common system of ethics, a common historical narrative, and is very reassuring.

The major problem with it, though, is that it excludes Mawali (Non-Arab Muslims) like the Sunni Kurds, Circassians, and Amazigh, it excludes Arab Non-Muslims like the Egyptian Copts, the Mizrahi Jews, the Lebanese Maronites, and the Druze, and it excludes the Non-Arab Non-Muslims like the Armenians, Assyrians, Yazidi Kurds, and the Baha'i. Those who wish to include these minority groups typically advocate for Secular Nationalism, which would unite people based on whether they are "Egyptian" or "Libyan" and not based on whether they are Arab Muslims or not.

they grow many turkey

that is whi it is acalled Turkey

also

the turkeis fart a lot

and they make the air in Turkey smell like

POOO!

So don go there

heads up ;)

Only 170,000 Arabs who lived in what would become Israeli-held territory after the war prior to the war in 1948 remained in Israel after 1948. (The phrasing is convoluted since the borders of Israel were only established after the 1948 war, however, if we use those same borders and extrapolate them into the past, this is where the 170,000 number comes from. Note also that this number does not count Druze, Bedouins, Circassians, Armenians, and any other non-Jewish minority that does not identify as Palestinian).

Since the question does not ask about it, this question will not deal for the reasons behind that departure. More on that can be read at the Related Question below.

It is also worth noting that 170,000 Israeli Arabs who remained in Israel in 1949 have now blossomed into a population of more than 1.6 million individuals. Please see the comment section for more information on other ambiguities.

The major ethnic group that most influences the culture of Israel is the Jewish population. This group has deeply rooted traditions, religious practices, and historical ties to the land of Israel, which shape many aspects of Israeli culture including language, food, and holidays.

Almost every type of Arab Israeli considers himself to be a part of the Arab People in the same way that German Americans still consider themselves to be ethnically German even though they do not live inside of a German State (such as Germany, Austria, or Switzerland). The more pertinent question is whether they see Israel as their State of Citizenship in a positive light or a more positive light than they would see having the citizenship of an extant Arab State or Palestine.

The majority of Israeli Arabs consider themselves ethnically Palestinian. (Note that a minority of Arab Israelis do NOT consider themselves Palestinians and do not identify with that society, but all Palestinians at this point in history are Arabs.) They hold Israeli citizenship but are forbidden from serving in the Israeli Army. (This is as opposed to Jewish Israelis and some other Arab Israelis who are required to serve in the Israeli Army.) Within Israel, they often talk of how disgruntled (to put it mildly) they are with the current political structure and the treatment of the non-Israeli citizen Palestinians.

Regardless of any disagreement that ethnically Palestinian Arab Israelis may have with the State of Israel, the vast majority, if pushed to answer, would not give up their Israeli citizenship for the citizenship of any other Arab State. This sentiment, combined with the fact that they pay Israeli taxes, work at Israeli companies, and carry Israeli passports makes Arabs outside of Israel see these Arab Israelis as Israelis first and Arab second. Concurrently, since Israel is by law a Jewish State, the ethnically Palestinian Arab Israelis are seen by most Jewish Israelis as Arabs first and Israelis second. Caught in the middle, most ethnically Palestinian Arab Israelis feel that although they are Israeli citizens, they are truly Arabs in a foreign state.

As concerns Arab Israelis who are not ethnically Palestinian, such as the Druze and Bedouins and other minorities which are called Arab Israelis by laymen even though they are not Arab such as Circassians and Armenians, the situation is markedly different. These Arab Israelis (which cumulatively form less than 5% of the Arab Israeli population) have declared sole loyalty to the State of Israel and consider themselves Israeli non-Jewish citizens. The Druze and Circassians put their men in the mandatory Israeli Army draft pool and a number of Bedouin voluntarily join the Israeli Army as trackers. They have little to no interest in joining with other Arab Nations.

Note: There are certainly exceptions, but this is the general answer.

The lived in southern Poland (the mountains there are still called the Beskids). Some Basque tourists got very excited when a Polish tour guide told them the name of a local mountain. They told the amazed guide that the word meant "mountain" in Basque. The Basques probably moved to France and Spain from Poland around 25,000 BCE.

Before that, they had lived in Armenia. Before that, they had originally come from a huge swarm of people who had left Ethiopia around 30,000 BCE. The ones who went west from Armenia became the Basques, the Cretans, the Philistines, the Iberians, the Etruscans, the Picts, and many others. The ones who went north became the Circassians, the Chechens, the Sumerians, the Burushaskis, the Kets, and the Navajos. But the ones who went east became the Tai-Austronesians (including the Malays, Thais, and Polynesians), the Austroasiatics, and the Chinese, among many others. Some illustrious Asian relatives included the famous Jomon people, who invented the first pottery in Japan and went to Catalina Island in 13,000 BCE.

When they got to Spain, they went to war with the Capoid Cantabrians, and drove them into a corner. They ruled Spain unchallenged, until their relatives the Iberians arrived from central Europe around 6000 BCE and drove them into a corner.

Your question is wrong.

Israel creation occurred in British areas. this areas was never Arabic.

The act was not malicious towards the Arabs. The area where the Land of Israel (the biblically defined region) was had no Arabs at the point in time when the Israelite Kingdoms reigned since the Arabs at the time were living almost exclusively in the Arabian Peninsula. During the Rise of Islam period, over 1000 years later, Arab armies and populations resettled the "Northern Middle East" which consists of places like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine. These Arabs interbred with the local peoples and Arabized them (this is a cultural/identity process). Therefore, the Land of Israel became host to an Arab population. When Jews made a political gambit to get the Land of Israel back, it now had an Arab population that could trace its roots back for at least 800 years and considered the territory part of their birthright.

If the question is asking, why did the Jews not choose Patagonia or some other region with no discernible native population, the answer is the same reason as why the Kurds and Circassians also do not want a State in their Diasporas. There is something intrinsic about all of these people and their connection to the place of their origin. Jews have the right to not have to compromise their historical identity for momentary peace.
