Palestinian Jews

There is a community of Jewish Palestinians living in the north of the West Bank. They do not consider themselves Israelis.

They have lived here for hundreds if not thousands of years, and do not identify with the state of Israel. I was shocked to discover this. There are not many of them because the benefits of just becoming an Israeli, but it is interesting to note that these people are brothers of Palestinian Muslims and Chrisitians. The difference is that they are not Zionists, but they are every bit as religious as their fellow Jews in Israel.
