Once in Israel, the European jews who founded Israel called these Mizrahi jews "black animals" in the German pidgin, yiddish, these European Jews still spoke then. The white supremacist European Jews of Israel wanted to force these "black animals" to live in the desert, using them as cheap laborers. But, the Mizrahi forced their way into recently ethnically cleansed areas and took over the homes of the Palestinians who had been forced out by the European Jews (to make way for more European Jews). The Mizrahi even formed a Black Panther Party, but it was mostly cosplaying, as they just wanted stuff for themselves, there was no ideology against exploitation like the real Black Panthers in California.

It's a weird myth to bring up. This jewish exodus to Palestine has consistently been driven by rather nasty politics, starting with the Crémieux decree, via german nazi agitation to campaigning and terrorism by zionist organisations after the founding of the state of Israel.
Commonly mizrahi and sephardic jews were reluctant to do aliyah, in part because they were reached by rumours about how they were likely to be treated once in Israel.
Still, this has little to do with what I brought up, that the zionist movement is predominantly christian and deeply antisemitic.
In 1948 the zionist paramilitaries had been at war with the indigenous population for quite some time, neighbouring states offering the palestinians military support once the british ended the mandate wasn't exactly out of the blue.
The 1956 Suez crisis was an attack by Israel and some of its allies.
The 1967 Six-Day-war was an attack by Israel.
The 1973 Yom Kippur war was an attempt to retake syrian and egyptian territory, and 'invading' occupied territory in an attempt to retake it is hardly a "literal invasion" of Israel, right?
In 1982 Israel attacked Lebanon and invaded its southern parts.
Quite consistently Israel has been the aggressor and very explicitly expansionist at the expense of its neighbours.
> In 1948 the zionist paramilitaries had been at war with the indigenous population for quite some time
As of May 1948, these were not 'zionist paramiltaries', they were the Israeli army.
>The 1956 Suez crisis was an attack by Israel and some of its allies.
From 1949 Egypt had repeatedly blocked Israeli‐flagged vessels from the Suez Canal and the Straits of Tiran. State-enabled terrorists were also doing armed raids into southern Israel, killing and wounding civilians (over 200 casualties in 1955 alone)
> The 1967 Six-Day-war was an attack by Israel
In May 1967 Egypt expelled the UN Emergency Force from Sinai, massed tens of thousands of troops on Israel’s border, and formally closed the Straits of Tiran
> The 1973 Yom Kippur war was an attempt to retake syrian and egyptian territory
On 6 October 1973 Egypt and Syria launched a coordinated, surprise attack across the 1967 cease‑fire lines on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar (Yom Kippur)
> In 1982 Israel attacked Lebanon and invaded its southern parts
From 1968 onward the PLO used southern Lebanon as a base for rocket and commando raids into northern Israel.
Until 1955 Nasser was working with the israelis to achieve border security and find a non-violent solution to the rather large amount of palestinians with rather well-founded grievances that were taking advantage of the porous border. The Lavon affair occured in 1954. In February 1955 an israeli military group under Ariel Sharon attacked the egyptian army, after which Nasser changed his mind about the israelis and started actively supporting the palestinian 'fedayeen'.
Such attacks by Israel in Egypt were aimed at keeping british colonial influence alive, i.e. attempts to use the illegitimate force of another state to subjugate a neighbour. In 1973 Israel had consistently declined peace offers and made even the usians furious with their disinterest in a negotiated solution with Egypt and Syria. One should note that the cease-fire lines weren't at the israeli borders.
Around 1968 the aim of the PLO was to liberate Palestine from the jewish supremacist apartheid colony and establish a democratic state in its place, which, of course, was unacceptable to the zionist movement. The reason they resided in Lebanon was the illegal displacement of hundreds of thousands of palestinians into lebanese territory, which wasn't exactly a stabilising factor in Lebanon. Israel consistently demanded that the lebanese state should solve the problem that the israelis had forced upon it and performed 'retaliations' against lebanese civilian targets for PLO actions.
Israel also undermined lebanese political institutions by supporting christian militants, basically fomenting a civil war and trying to coerce its neighbour to install a particular government.
Consistently Israel invades, occupies, displaces and then starts to destroy homes, historical and religious sites, as well as agrarian and other civilian infrastructure. This is the main reason for Israel's dependence on conflict mines in Africa, and USA delivering oil and weaponry. More recently, as another line of revenue, Israel has developed a systematic use of its tyranny for the design and dissemination of technological tools that are used for oppressive purposes all over the world.
It's a criminal, illegitimate state predicated on the extermination of indigenous societies in its region, which is currently enacting a genocide and implicating a bunch of occidental states in it. In effect this is destroying the post-WWII international judicial order and the UN system, and will likely bring back the limitless forms of colonial and imperial violence that preceded the world wars. Russia has already taken note and ramped up its crimes against Ukraine.

Nowadays I think the Lavon affair is less known, but it happened a couple of years before the emigration of jews from Egypt peaked in 1956.

The zionist movement more or less invented modern terrorism and the state of Israel has always been a fervent sponsor of terrorism in Palestine and abroad. It has also consistently been a supporter of criminal, particularly genocidal, states, like apartheid South Africa, the tyranny in El Salvador and Guatemala, the timorese genocide, and so on.
