I don ' t think more integrated into Israeli society is the way to put it Jews from the Middle East and North Africa Mizrahim have constituted the majority of Israeli Jews since quite soon after the state ' s formation , so already are Israeli society . But a lot of them were placed in development towns in Israel ' s periphery , and hence there was definitely a MizrahiAshkenazi separation for quite a while . However , this distinction is rapidly becoming less pronounced . Racism by Ashkenazim against Mizrahim has almost died out at least in nonHaredi society , intermarriage rates between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim are over 35 % and many people are mixed already , and with the influence of TV , mixed backgrounds in schools , and everyone mixing with everyone in the Army , the lines are gradually blurring between the different backgrounds . The Arab and Jewish populations of Israel aren ' t really mixing both sides are responsible here , so there will be a sizeable native Arabicspeaking population in Israel for the foreseeable future , many of whom will pronounce ayin as . But it ' s quite likely will indeed die out among native Hebrewspeaking Israeli Jews in a few generations .
