It seems as though no matter how bad things can get in Israel the Mizrachi Jews never feel the need to leave permanently. Some, like my family left for America in order to have a better life and to not feel alienated from the mainly European narrative of Zionism which was dominant back then but has been diminished since that time.

Mizrachi Jews are less resistant and stubborn about leaving the diaspora when it is necessary. Mizrachim know and feel that Israel is the home of the Jewish people in their blood and in their bones. We do not need to over-intellectualize our history and our rights to this land. On the other hand European Jews have a harder time feeling that the Middle East is their home because they assimilated and intermarried with the Europeans for generations. Amalek runs in their veins to a certain extent due to all the intermarriage and adoption of European culture and values. That is where the virulent left comes from, this is where the apologists for European antisemitism come from.

All this is a Zionist lie. Jews never were "expelled" from Arab countries. Until Israel was established Jews lived well in Arab countries. Suddenly Israel appears and all Jews are "expelled". It's the Israeli governments who arranged the situation in a way that people will think Jews are being expelled so they can still claim they're once again victims since it's that what they always do

because i was treated as a foreigner in israel as a moroccan .after serving for two and half years in the tsahal and serving in the six days war i decided to move to UK and be real foreigner this way i felt comfortable with this situation at least i was a foreigner in a foreign country

Against all the proofs in history the Jews of Europe believed that the Europeans had somehow become civilized and trustworthy. They were blind. Then came the Holocaust. The European Jews of today are no less blind. They feel the need to overcome the Europeans inbred hatred of them. These useful idiots sell out their Jewish identity in order to find some common ground with the Europeans. Germany at the center, the Scandinavians, the English and the French are the ones the shknoz feel the need to suck up to the most. Southern Europe despite its' being Catholic never made me feel what I felt in the North.This suck up mentality the Jews developed, they developed in the North. Italians never made me feel as though I needed to suck up to them or sacrifice anything in order to have them accept me. Italians are Mediterraneans that are the most comfortable in their skins. That is why Jews and Italians get along better than Jews and all other Europeans. Our ancient history is tragic, but our Mediterranean cultures have allot in common and so do our values. Some may say I am kissing up to the Italians. I say they are the only good people in Europe worth kissing up to.

IDEM my brother AV. With the only difference that I never immigrated to Israel and that I was lucky enough to be aware of all this when I only was a teen.

We had our apartment, business, bank accounts, and even jewelry stolen by the Egyptian government after Israeli Independence and we dispersed to Israel, U.S., and France and have never received compensation for the Egyptian "settlers" now living in our apartment.

time is more valuable than money,you can get more money but you cannot get more time.

Around 1905-1910 my great grandfather from jaarumi Iran was massacred with all Jewish men in city. This was a time of revolution and Islamic extremism/forced conversions. My great grandmother and all the other widows left with orphaned children secretly with help of jewish agents in Palestine were helped to escape on dangerous long trek to Israel. It wasa terrible time and life was terrible in Muslim countries.

Yes, you must be the victim of the Islamic blind eye. When your islamic "brothers", family and friends having harassed the jewish people there is nothing wrong in your eyes. When your Islamic "brothers, famliies and friends kill the jewish people, there is nothing wrong in your eyes? That is the way it should be? Knowing that today there are living just 30.000 jewish people in Islamic countires, that is just a result of free will? What happens to the jewish population in Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan? Are you blind and deaf? Not able to read or listen? You really shows the Islamic lack of knowledge to world history of what has happened after the year 670 BC, And even more sad, you are not alone, you are just surrounded by the rest of the Islamic cult.

People have convenient memories for events they don't want to remember. They need to be reminded about what happened. The stories need to be told.

We were 850,000 Jews in Arab lands. How many are there today? One more generation and there will be none. Expoliated, humiliated and expelled, we had to leave. Israel and other countries welcomed us.

Let's call it "Naqba 2 of Mideast Jews "", and let it be marked on Naqba Day so the world can hear the real tragedy the Jews suffered all over the Mideast. The true Naqba will dominate the Arab fake propaganda & self-imposed Naqba .

Islam never tolerated Jews or anyone not Muslim. We were continuously harassed. My father was in prison for a year on trumped up charges in Iraq while my mother had to fend with children in tow. Then the cruel Mullahs in Iran came & my father was put on the "hit list". Lucky we ran off with our lives. Lost everything twice thanks to "the religion of peace".

And go and live in Broklyn then return to Israel and start lecturing others about morality. Such arrogance has no limits

of the Jewish people - Am Yisrael echad. The suffering of the Ashkenaz is the suffering of the Sephardim and Mizrachim and vice versa. Jews are Jews - one people with different color skins, different cultural upbringing, different views as they always have been even before the diaspora. Their believe in One G-d, one Torah and one Eretz Yisrael is common to all Jews. There is no need to have separate day for Sephardics. We all join together during Shoah day and Yom hazicharon.

I was 5 years old when my parents left Israel. I had no say in the matter. What are you still doing in Brooklyn? If you are so patriotic? Deserting?? I deserted? I served in the IDF, I have a son living in Israel and born in Israel. I never left Israel for your information. My family left shknoz discrimination and hubris. You mispelled Brooklyn FYI I recommend you pay attention to what someone is saying before you pass judgement. I don't know you, you may have lived here and also "deserted", but if I was to make assumptions like you, i would say you are a dimwit.

FYI(, you misspelled "misspelled." You also misspelled "judgment." If you are going to criticize someone's spelling, it's probably a really good idea to make sure of yours. Next time, I'll address punctuation, grammar and syntax. Yours, quite frankly, is not up to par. Are you a dimwit?

the injustices suffered by Jews through the centuries. The story of Jews being expelled from Arab countries is well-known and most know about the pogroms. The Mizrahim should certainly remember their history and pass it on to their children...and there are some fascinating stories of survival. It should definately be taught in schools and I imagine it is to some extent. But yet another memorial day....not a wise choice.

When Ezra and Nehemiah led the return from Exile in Babylon, most Jews did not return. A similar tragedy occurred in the 20th Century. Britain accxepted the League Mandate for palestine and genuinely wanted to fulfill the Prophetic vision of the return of the Jews to Israel. Unfortunately, the million Jews in Muslim lands chose to stay where they were, while Ashkenazic Jewish refugees in the 1920s and early 1930's preferred America. Western European Jews chose to stay where they were -- until it was too late. Had Jews Returned during the open door of 1920 to 1937 there would have been a Jewish majority to permit a Jewish state and an end to the Mandate.

Read the article! It's not Mizrachim vs Ashkenazim & Sefardim. It's about Jews who were persecuted, abused and lost everything fleeing from Muslim Arab lands -- something you were NOT part of -- vs Arabs memorials. Not EVERYTHING is about Ashkenazim and Sefardim!!!

In 'The Righteous: Unsung Heroes of the Holocaust', Sir Martin Gilbert has a chapter explaining that wherever the Italian army was in control Jews knew they were safe because Italy rejected all German racial theories in spite of being allied to Germany.

I do believe Jews most likely felt threatened in Arab countries after Israel's creation and Palestinians did feel threatened as well in Israel back then. So I say, what's fair is fair and leave it to the people to decide if they want to go back to their homeland and reclaim their lost property and this should apply to both Jews and Palestinians.

Right and the jews will go to the arab countries where they will be minimalized and killed and the arabs will be treated with the hightest fairness, protection and best legal system. Is that fair or not. Sound to me like the destruction of jews or was that the plan with this fair is fair response

Jews, refugees from Arab countries, MUST have a memorial day. Please read the book "The FARHUD" by Edwine Black. It is a tragedy that the book was not translated yet to Hebrew. The Jews in Arab countries were prosecuted no less than Jews in Europe. On June 6 1941 thousands of Jews were murdered in Bagdhad. Did you know?.

You don't know how to spell in English! it's criticise with an s! with a z is American slang not English! Don't try to criticise others when you don't even know how to write in English! it's called English because it's a language from England perhaps you should go there and learn how to spell. They run classes for foreigners over there and Americans are welcome.

Don't forget to mention the amount of land relinquished in Muslim countries too. Try to have as accurate information as possible for future dealings as well. Two tons of paperwork related to Jews in Egypt was going to be sent to Amman, Jordan but was confiscated in Egypt. In charge then was President Morsi and he commented on it. Maybe now the papers can be retrieved. This is all for the effort of being righteous, a word that is preeminent in Islam. There is no reason to evade the truth. It's all for the effort of truth, justice, righteousness and can be presented in a clear, concise way simple enough for a child to understand and not be influenced negatively by leaders with bad intentions.
