Planing on having breast lift procedure in Israel? Here is some General Information about Israel:
Israel People The most obvious division in Israel's society is between Jews, who make up 80% of the population in Israel proper and 15% in areas currently controlled by Israel (West Bank) and non-Jewish Israeli-Arabs, who make nearly all of the rest. In terms of religion, 77% are Jewish, 16% are Muslim, 4% are Christian and 2% are Druze (a Muslim offshoot considered heretical by mainstream Islam). While equality is theoretically guaranteed, in practice there are many restrictions on the Palestinian population, both legal (eg. military service is not mandatory) and de facto (difficulty in obtaining building permits, onerous security, job discrimination, etc). In particular, the rights of Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens are partially circumscribed. There are also deep divisions within Jewish society. First is the ethnic division between the Ashkenazim, who trace their origins from Europe and are generally considered wealthier and politically better connected, and the Sephardim, or Mizrahim, who immigrated from the Middle East and North Africa. In recent years, the divide between these ethnic groups has, however, grown less acute. |
