Exodus: The Expulsion of the Jews from Arab Lands
Many don't know it, but
the Jewish communities of the Arab world were some of the oldest Jewish
communities in history. Some of the communities in Iraq and Egypt
actually existed for over 2,000 years. That means that these communities
predated the birth of Christ!! These communities continued to endure
despite the Islamic conquest of the 7th century. They endured endless
waves of persecution at the hands of their Islamic overlords and even during
the "Good Eras," they were always a permanent under-caste in
society. By the end of the 1948 War, the governments of the Arab nations
seized billions of dollars worth of property that belonged to their Jewish
citizens, and expelled them. More than half ultimately settled in
Israel. Prior to the mass expulsion, thousands of Jews throughout the
1940's fell victim to pogroms throughout the Arab world, often at the urging of
the infamous Haj Amin al-Husseini, an Arab leader and former Grand Mufti of
Jerusalem who not only personally ordered pogroms against the Jews in the Arab
world, but helped carry out the Final Solution in Nazi-occupied
Yugoslavia. Even when World War II, ended, pogroms continued. Nonie
Darwish, who was an Egyptian citizen born in 1949, personally witnessed the
lynching of several Jews during the years that the Jewish community was being
expelled from Egypt.
The reality is that the
world is so obsessed with what they consider "the sins of Israel,"
that they fail to take into account the terrible sins of the Arab nations, and
this sin in particular ultimately became one of the biggest calamities to ever
be ignored by the international society.
