Where are those images from? How do we know where the people are from? Are the yuppies in the top half visiting, or do they live in Israel?
Btw. if I read that Wikipedia page correctly, roughly 70 percent of Israeli Jews are born in Israel.

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

And if you read this wiki page correctly, in 1947- 77 years ago, ie. 2-3 generations, Palestine (including the now stolen lands of "Israel") was only 30% Jewish at most. No doubt it gets even more damning when one goes into how Israel has been settled so far- the ethnic cleansings (Nakba), the mass migration of Zionists from across Europe and the US...
Let's not kid ourselves here, everyone knows what is going on. Trying to pretend otherwise demonstrates either fatal ignorance, or something much worse.
...this is a meme, not documentation of where the actual people in the photos were born.
roughly 70 percent of Israeli Jews are born in Israel.
1-in-3 Israeli Jews being bona fide, first-generation, "I just got here from halfway around the world and your house is now mine" settlers paints a clear picture of the colonial project that is Zionism.
This is not merely a matter of demographics.
Official Israeli policy for the past 75 years is that any Jew [0] from anywhere in the world has the right to migrate to Israel and gain Israeli citizenship.
In 2018, Israel passed a "basic law", which is the closest thing they have to a constitutional amendment, clarifying that it views itself as a Jewish state.
Even without getting into any of Israel's unofficial policies, it is no secret what they are trying to do.
[0] Almost any. The law does allow them to deny citizenship ship for various security and public safty reasons; although it is rarely invoked.
