some wealthy Jews had it good. the overwhelming majority lived okay lives but in fear. many were miserable and/or destitute. you are a liar, mimi

Back in 1892 I had an Egyptian student and an Israeli student in my electronic engineering technology classes. They shared an apartment and were inseperable. They explained a lot of mechanics of their relationship but the bottom line was, "We decided that just because his grandfather hated my grandfather, and my grandfather hated his was no reason for us to stand across a field shooting at each other. That's, what do you call it Dovid, mishuggah!"

;) although i roughly agree with you, even today, in Morocco jewish are very welcome, but Maimonides had to run from spain because of the almoravides who forced jews to convert or to go to exile or die, whatever they liked the most. This is why he had to leave from Cordoba

What a beautiful story. There's hope!

It gives us hope to work together.
