It was close to 95%, not exactly. According to everything I've read. Most point it at 80-90%

Official counts are that nearly 40% were Jewish by 1948.

Yes, because of the refugees.

Although Israel has had it's problems regarding Africans moving or walking into Israel, acts of racism are isolated incidents and reflect on Israel the same way it reflects on Canada when something similar happens. To claim differently is holding Israel to a different standard than much of the rest of the world, most specifically the rest of the middle east. These Africans sneak into Israel because A) they can claim asylum there (ie Sudanese escaping Islamic terror groups) and B) Israel promotes tolerance and acceptance of these people. I am not sure at what point you will refrain from these accusations against Israel which are unsubstantiated.

Here are two links to educate yourself on the subject:

Here is a video that shows that is just not true. It isn't just the citizens of Israel that are being racist, the government is as well. You can get educated on the subject as well.
