    The Jewish population in Israel is about 45% Mizrahi Jews.

    Mizrahi Jews constitute one of the largest Jewish ethnic divisions among Israeli Jews. Mizrahi Jews are descended from Jews in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia and parts of the Caucasus, who had lived for many generations under Muslim rule during the Middle Ages.

    We’re not as “white skinned” as you’ve been led to believe.

      Global achievement recorded in Israel - melanoma incidence rates have declined by 30% among Jewish women and stability has been observed among Jewish men

      After a government education program to promote sunscreen use lmao.

      Among the Arab population in Israel, melanoma is a rare disease and the morbidity rates amount to no more than a handful of cases.

      How do you get the 30% reduction if you’re not as “white skinned” as we’ve been led to believe? Sounds like you’re just thin skinned because you know you’re repeating history.

        What the fuck? How do cancer rates and sunscreen have anything to do with this?
