You and I are reading that part you quoted very differently. I’m reading it to say that the actual Israel-born people are far lower, because this number includes others, presumably dual citizens. Regardless, you have provided zero sources, and these are the closest I’ve seen, and the number is far lower than 50%. I also wouldn’t personally include a dual citizen who has never lived in Israel. They allow any person of Jewish descent to apply for dual citizenship. It hardly makes you Israeli if you’ve never lived there, no matter what the paperwork says. I could write a document that says I’m a Moon person, but that doesn’t mean that I’m actually a person from the moon.

I also wouldn’t personally include a dual citizen who has never lived in Israel. Statements like this make me think you’re operating from an undisclosed bias. You wouldn’t even blink if I called them “American”. Your bias is especially suspicious when you close it with ridiculous statements like the following: I could write a document that says I’m a Moon person, but that doesn’t mean that I’m actually a person from the moon. We’re not talking about moon people, and we’re not talking about you. We’re talking about two sovereign governments recognizing an individual as a citizen of that country. Americans are currently being treated as second class citizens within our own country as numerous U.S. politicians prioritize the interests and needs of Israelis. Dual citizens to Israel are participants in this egregious behavior whether they like it or not.
