1. Jewish Diaspora
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (03.18.13)
Jews lived in many of these present-day Muslim countries from 586 BCE, long pre-dating Islam which arrived about a thousand years later.

stan ,   usa   (03.18.13)
Are they telling stories about how these "forced" refugees had their Jewish neighborhoods in Arab countries bombed by the Israelis to get them to move to Israel
4. #1. Thats all well and good BUT
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.18.13)
You know that I know that The last time I tried to discuss this issue with Students and Union Reps in the UK I was told categorically 'that there were never any Jews living in Arab Countries - they had all converted to Islam centuries ago' Thats the level of shocking misinformation Even a Mid East Journalist I recently chatted with had 'no idea of the numbers of Jews originating from Arab Lands and its something you guys have got to prove'! This MASS EXPULSION and ruthless and barbaric ETHNIC CLEANSING of Jews from Arab Lands is a tragic harrowing story that now needs to be told...AND NEVER NEVER FORGOTTEN

Is Lavon Affair a total sham too or just a bit ??? ;) ,...
8. Lavon Affair
Peter ,   Israel   (03.18.13)
From Wikipedia: The Lavon Affair refers to a failed Israeli covert operation, code named Operation Susannah, conducted in Egypt in the Summer of 1954. As part of the false flag operation,[1] a group of Egyptian Jews were recruited by Israeli military intelligence for plans to plant bombs inside Egyptian, American and British-owned targets. The attacks were to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian Communists, "unspecified malcontents" or "local nationalists" with the aim of creating a climate of sufficient violence and instability to induce the British government to retain its occupying troops in Egypt's Suez Canal zone.[2] The operation caused no casualties, except for those members of the cell who committed suicide after being captured.
9. They are welcome to go back!
Avi ,   NYC,USA   (03.19.13)
I am sure that the State of Israel will just benefit from their departure.
10. 7 and 8
(03.19.13)
number 8, do not call me a pin head. read number 8 response. the lavon affair had nothing to do with trying to scare jews in egypt so that they migrate or run to israel. nothing to do with jewish refugees from egypt. this was a hoax that egyptian newspapers at the time blamed on mossad, that mossad was trying to force egyptian jews to migrate out of fear because of the bombing". you read the lavon affair, number 7 and see what i mean. it had zero to do with jews and no violence was created by the arab mobs after the bombing. jews from egypt had many many reasons for running away such a arab pogroms, trials for "sham espionage", the egyptian government forced them to leave and confiscated all their properties, businesses and homes...just like in nazi germany. they were stripped of their rights in all major arab countries and expelled with only a suitcase and 10 dollars. they crossed deserts in fear of their lives. the rest that stayed because they were too old to leave were murdered through the years. only less that 500 or 1,000 live in egypt now. 95% of all jews from arab land living there even before the advent of islam, 1,000 years before islam came to be, were forced out of all major arab countries and their properties, bank accounts and homes were looted and eventually nationalized by each muslim and arab government. they left with nothing and went to israel, all 800,000 of them. the lavon affair had zero to do with israel's effort to scare these jews into migrating to israel and EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT NUMBER 8 EXPLAINED. learn your facts before calling me a pin head. your ignorance insults you, not me.
11. 9 Avi Doesn' t sound a Jewish wish.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.19.13)
12. To Ora #11
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (03.19.13)
Trust me Ora, many in Israel feel exactly as I do.
13. Excellent! This is long overdue!

14. European Jewry Stayed
Zechariah   (03.20.13)
European Jewry stayed and was slaughtered it would have been good to scare many more to go anywhere even paradoxically into India China And Africa Money counted a lot more there than the USA and Britain a lot more ought to have escaped even Siberia .
15. Further to number 4. Ignorance
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (03.20.13)
The best antidote to such lack of knowledge is Sir Martin Gilbert's 'In Ishmael's House', a history of Jews in Muslim lands. Brits know about Palestine because of the Mandate but not much about some other parts of the Arab world. Most of the 800,000 Jews pushed out of Arab lands went to Israel and were assimilated so they received little attention compared to the Palestinian refugees who have been locked in refuge camps by their fellow Arabs.
