1. Sad Sad story and very typical... Slavery in Yemen
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.26.10)
Yemen among other Arab Muslim countries still have slavery even though in Yemen it was "officaly" abolished in 1962. http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2010/07/21/114451.html Jews in yemen 500 years ago were thrown out of the cities forced in desert to die and their property expropriated. 90%+ died in the desert. Muslims slaughter, force conversions to Islam and steel/rape our girls/women. typical nothing has changed in over 1300 years since the begining of Islam. Why is this? you see it has nothing to do with the reestablishment of ISrael. This goes on outside of ISrael and for centuries in between Jewish sovereignty within Israel. The Jews need to try and sell there possessions/any houses and get the hell out and back home to ISrae before it is too late.l Jews were attacked in their ancient home and area in Yemem within the last few years and ordered to convert or die. They had to flee their land....what happened to their property/R.E.? Where are the human rights activists-what a joke. I hope they find Lea ASAP and rescue her from her rapist/abductor. It is funny at one time Jews ruled Yemen. The King liked Judaism and became Jewish.

3. Yemen jewish community in danger ?
Benjamin ,   singapore   (07.26.10)
Tell me where Jews are not treated without hostility ? too much of religion to the point forgetting to get skills and training to find decend work to earn a fair wage is destroyed by fanatic thinking in the Yemenite Jewish Community. Just join the IDF ! lets see if the Jews in the IDF take them as jews or a second class jew. lets face it jews are RACEist- and it is an open secret. COLOR BAR, AZkenazim, SHepardi---black, yemenite, and many more prejudices run wild in Israel these days !

Ariel ,   São Paulo Brazil   (07.26.10)
Where is the UN Flotilla, human rights commission etc ... now ??????
5. Coming to a "One State Solution" near you
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.26.10)
This is what the Jewish community will become if a "One State Solution" results in an Arab majority, G-D forbid.
6. She could have arranged for the jews in Yemen to make Aliah
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (07.26.10)

8. time to come home
(07.26.10)
9. Benji boy
Chimo ,   USA   (07.27.10)
I don't like the comments you left. You're the racist mongrel taunting a community that had done nothing to noone and yet you say that it's the Jews that are racist? Wh cares whether Israelis have married Siingaporean woman or if Indians have married some Jewish girsl, that is not the point. The point was that a jewish girl was raped and forced to marry some towel head against her will.
10. #2 is funny
Golan ,   modiin   (07.27.10)
He claims there are Jews in Saudi Arabia and claims that there are many Jews marrying Arab Muslims in Muslim countries (Jewish MEN marrying Arab women....yeah.... no honor killings in those sand boxes.) And Zionism is eroding.... based on? In Israel it is growing with even Haredim becoming more and more Zionist. Then he claims Jews convert to Islam (of their own choosing even though history point to something very different starting with Muhammad Ib Abedullah ibn Mutalib) because of the "conversion laws" giving a "monoply..." to one group or another. Hummmm so why is conservative or reform conversions done in lets say the US or UK recognized in Israel? (just not reform conversions done in Israel) What a funny man.
11. Welcome to true Arab treatement of Jews!! Who said Muslims
Jae ,   Lynn US   (07.27.10)
treat Jews well? This is more common in history than the "golden age of spain" a brief time in one single country. There are dozens of countries where sisters are raped and forced to marry and convert and leave their family behind. Welcome to , unfortunately, true Muslim hospitality. Get your sister back, I pray! Shouldnt the president of yemen who went to the wedding get involved to get the girl back to her family????
12. Yemens president at forced wedding? USA pressure yemens pres
Jae ,   Lynn USA   (07.27.10)
to get the girl. This is diabolical madness happening right before our very eyes. Jewish groups get pressure on the yemen president to get the girl back!
13. Is forced aliyah the solution?
Keren ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.27.10)
Mr. Marhabi states, "There are several issues with coming to Israel....First, it's not easy to leave one's homeland." I find it amazing that this downtrodden, persecuted remnant would consider Yemen to be their homeland. That they choose to remain under such conditions is inexplicable. I have never heard such remarks, even from Israelis who made aliyah from the U.S., or other countries where they lived in security and prosperity. Mr. Marhabi further states, "[the Yemenite Jews]" are also afraid to leave, because they are afraid they will be left with nothing...." What do they have NOW? Is their survival and that of their children worth nothing? They cannot be forced to leave - but, should they choose to stay, no one can save them.
14. to peter in austria
Barney ,   USA   (07.27.10)
that beats your solution of gas chambers and ovens.
15. More Muslim Hatred
Richard ,   Boca Raton, USA   (07.27.10)
And Obama, the EU and a large part of the world want the Jews in Israel to give up more land to these muslim pigs who have a 4th century mentality. The Muslims are all the same, in every country around the world, including my beautiful country, the USA. They want to dominate society and our thinking and IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. GOD FORBID.
16. Whom to believe?
Stephen   (07.27.10)
Jewish media backs Jews; and Muslim one backs not Jews. Nothing new under the sun. Well, let's wait for information from journalists who are on neither side of the Mideast conflict.
17. The foreign media would not touch this kind of hardship
Jeremy Stone ,   London UK   (07.27.10)
The Israeli's that write in the foreign media would not write about Jews being discriminated against.They prefer to write about Israeli's mistreating the palestinians.They write for the British Guardian instead,on palestinian suffering at the hands of the Israeli's.
18. Go Home
Zana ,   Kurdistan, Iraq   (07.27.10)
Wondering what make them to stay in such a place????!!!!!!!!!!
