African Americans in Israel

African Americans in Israel number at least 25,000, comprise several separate groups, including the groups of African American Jews who have emigrated from the United States to Israel making aliyah, non-Jewish African Americans who have immigrated to Israel for personal or business reasons, pro-athletes who formerly played in the major leagues in the United States before playing in Israel on local basketball and other sports teams, as well as foreign students studying in Israeli universities, businessmen, merchants, and guest workers, along with Israeli citizens of African American ancestry. African Americans have served in the Israel Defence Forces, and have largely been accepted into Israeli society, and have represented Israel in numerous international forums such as the Olympic Games, and the Eurovision Song Contest.
