LH, the indegenous Jews of Palestine are the Mizrahim. The Sephardic Jews come from people who left what is now Israel and then returned some number of generations later.

Nobody ever talks about the Mizrahim. I think that's because most Ashkenazim (Jews with European ancestry) are embarassed at the idea that there can be Jews who are Arabs.
