The Jewish Nakba

March 04, 2011 23:29

For the suzannas of this world, believing they are not antisemitic because they blame the 'Palestinian' mostly voluntary exile on the Jews, here is the reality of the Jewish Nakba, an exile that never was voluntary, showing the 'Palestinian' narrative in the mirror.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_Arab_and_Muslim_lands

Between 800,000-1,000,000 Jews were expelled from or left their homes in Arab countries due to persecution, antisemitism and political instability. Lebanon was the only Arab country to see an increase in its Jewish population after 1948, which was due to an influx of refugees from other Arab countries.[1] However, by the 1970s the Jewish community of Lebanon dwindled due to hostilities of the Lebanese Civil War. Another 200,000 Jews from non-Arab Muslim countries left due to increasing insecurity and growing hostility. Many Iranian and Kurdish Jews also fled and abandoned their property in fear that they would remain hostages of hostile regimes.

We have here a higher number of 'refugees' than that claimed by the 'Palestinians' themselves. Of course, the Jews in Arab countries were usually more well off than the 'Palestinians' and their relatively poor belongings.

260,000 of them reached Israel between 1948–1951, and 600,000 by 1972.

Here, we see that most of these refugees were accepted by Israel, that paid for them. On the other hand, Arabs parked their 'Palestinians' and made sure that the West paid for them. Up to now, 'Palestinians' are not granted rights that are granted to other citizens of the country they have been residing in for 60 or 40 years.

I recommend reading the full article in Wikipedia, about the centuries-long presence of the Jewish communities in Muslim lands and its total anihilation by Muslim antisemitism and greed.

This real "Nakba", an exile that is much bigger and more traumatic than the historical expulsion of Spain, is totally ignored by antisemites and ignoramuses like "suzanna", who prefer to take into account the sufferring of a smaller number of men led astray by their own leaders in order to take from the Jews their lives and their possessions.
