2. they have not given back all the property stolen from jews k
rachel ,   usa   (01.24.10)
kicked out of Iraq . give it back to the refugees wherever they are . Mostly in Israel , certainly not Iraq . The Iraqies just like the rest of the Arab world just want to erase the jewish heritage . don't give it back to them they will just distroy it all .
3. There are more Iraqi Jews in Israel than the world
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.24.10)
We have more Iraqi Jews living here than the rest of the world combined. We have the people their books and records belong to the Iraqi Jews not their racist persecutors.

IraqiJew ,   London, UK   (01.24.10)
They just destroyed the Hebrew inscription on Ezekiel's tomb. We cannot trust them. Send the books to Israel.
8. Islamists Erase Jewish Identity from Ezekiel's Tomb in Iraq
Michelle   (01.24.10)
B"H We are going to trust Iraq with priceless records of thousands of years of Jewish History when they have "cleansed" all Jewish connection to the Tomb of Ezekiel?? Seriously, we can clearly see their intention in what they already have. We want to give them an opportunity to do more damage???
9. And Return the Art to Fat Hermann
Shimon ,   Loveland, USA   (01.25.10)
Why not? The stinking barbarian Iraquis stole what they could from the Jews there and the Nazis stole from the Jews of Europe. Give the papers, books and everything to the Iraqis and you are obliged to return the stolen art, etc. to the Nazis. Perfect....oh yes...and the Torah to the Jordanians. One equals two, day is night and black is white. George Orwell was a prophet.
10. Absurd1 The jewish authors of these books would want Jews to
Jae ,   Lynn US   (01.25.10)
have them, to preserve them, to appreciate them, to revere them. Sending them to anti semitiic Iraq is a no brainer; dont do it. There are no jews left- they had all been ethically cleansed, any hebrew writing confiscated, Jews' hung in public squares. Bye bye Bavel.
