Who are the Israelites? The Israelites are members of the 12 tribes of Israel. The Israelites founded Judaism, one of the first religions in the world to be based on monotheism (the belief in one God). A lot of what we know about the Israelites is found in the Hebrew Bible. The Israelites have a long history, and it is reflected in their culture today.
