Yemenite and Mizrahi Jews, unlike Ashkenazi Jews, never emigrated to Europe, but settled in North Africa and the Middle East (Arab countries), and thus shared much more common physical and cultural traits with the ancient Semitic populations that inhabited ancient Palestine.
In an effort to "purify the Jewish race," thousands of Yemenite and Mizrahi children were abducted from their homes: some were given to childless Ashkenazi couples, while many others simply remain unknown. Meanwhile, Israel secretly sterilized the Ethiopian Jewish population (another Semitic ethnic group that settled in North Africa) for years, so that their population would not grow in Israel and thus maintain the Ashkenazi power center.
In short: to create a false "Jewish state" in the image of the West, the European Zionists first had to de-Judaize the land. This is the contradiction of contradictions: uprooting the true Semites from their lands in order to establish false Semites.
