Your first source doesn’t specify how they’re defining “Israeli” and whether they’re including those with dual citizenship.
Your second source says
By contrast, demographic compilations such as World Population Review list state-level counts of Israelis (for example, roughly 32,071 in New York state and about 30,566 in California), which suggest far smaller base numbers if one focuses strictly on Israeli-born residents recorded in U.S. data [4].
It does not account for people applying for Israeli citizenship after being born in the U.S. meaning 32,000 is a lower end and likely a smaller percentage of the entire population of dual citizenship holders.

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.
