Although Israel does have a lot of right-wing immigrants who moved there for noxious settler aspirations, it’s still the case that most of Israel’s current population (70-80%) were born in (the land currently controlled by) Israel. It’s not accurate to portray it as entirely first-gen immigrants/settlers, because that’s not the case anymore.
I think it’s worth noting that some of those mentioned countries conspicuously stand out as places that have been historically awful towards Jews. Are we really going to be dismissive of Moroccan Jews or Romanian Jews who moved to Israel in the 1940s and 50s? Because it looks to me like they had pretty good reason.
and how many of them are literally just 2nd immigrants instead of 1st gen?
and yeah antisemitism is awful but it doesn't excuse someone to persecute another group of people to make up for it. fuck off with this liberal and literally Zionist bullshit.

The real issue here is that they're doing a settler colonialism, this would be bad even if they were 3rd or 4th or 10th generation. Focusing on how long they've been in the region starts soundings like "blood and soil" ethnonationalism.
The fact that anglos whose ancestors literally moved to where they live on boats (both in the Americas/Australia and in the initial anglo-saxon migration to pedo island itself) go around calling immigrants they don't like "boat people" is proof that anglos aren't sentient and incapable of self awareness.

Yeah, but in the same way that most of the US's population was born in the US lol
