While anti-Israel...Arab racism VS Israeli worries <br /><br />While anti-Israel bigots, Arabs, Muslims have for so long tried to cast Israelis' legitimate concern over a growing racist Arab threat that seeks its annihilation - in a bad light, the recent phenomenon is that radical leftysts inside Israel cast at times these worries and subsequented defensive actions also with such bombastic -unfair- definitions, though their aim is political, the damage is simply horrific, nevertheless.<br /><br />Now, why don't we talk about the real racism in the area, outside or even inside Israel, the Arab racism of course, that which since (at least the 1920s) tried to commit genocide on the Jewish population and together with Islamic bigotry, these two fascisms motivated the expulsion of 1,000,000 Jews and the anti-Israel campaign.<br /><br />The latter campaign has never been discntinued.<br /><br />Racism by Israeli Arabs include: creating - via intimidation and violence- an "off limits to Jews - "pure" Arab (areas) zone;<br />Arabs' targeting of innocent Jews, simply for being Jews; the massive rationaliztion for support of attackers in the Arab public.<br /><br />---<br /><br />REFERENCES CITED IN THE LINK: <br /><br />http://freeisraelnow.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/arab-racism-vs-israeli-worries/<br /><br />Printout: http://freeisraelnow.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/arab-racism-vs-israeli-worries.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-7825157696056659582010-11-07T08:35:37.627+00:002010-11-07T08:35:37.627+00:00Wildly OT and abusive comments will be deleted.

Iraq was then under British mandate. But the turning point was independence. The new king kept bad company, Nazi propaganda began penetrating Iraq in the 1930s, and the school curriculum began to be censored, quotas for Jews introduced, and civil servants sacked.

The Jewish schools' curricula were censored in 1932.</b></i><br /><br /><br />I hope you be more friendly this time by not deleting this comment.<br /><br /><br />I chose this paragraph written by Iraqi Jews she talking about Iraqi Jew at the times mentioned in the above post and let you read by your own to conclude which post more reliable and more reflect the reality on the ground from Baghdad:<br /><br /><i>After which the Turks lost the First World War and Iraq became part of the British Empire. Their first king, King Faisal the First did not differentiate between Jews, Christians and Moslems. The Jews prospered and they numbered 180,000. Some held very high positions in the government like Sir Sasson Heskell, who was the first minister of finance and who negotiated the revenues of oil with the British and asked for a gold pound instead of normal paper currency. My father was secretary to the foreign ministry as his first job after finishing school. The Jews were the elite and were educated; they were prominent rabbis, doctors, senators, lawyers etc. My great grandfather, of blessed memory, was the Chief rabbi Hakham Ezra Dangoor who together with his son opened the first printing company and they used to print all the Hebrew books and Arabic textbooks. Yehuda Zelouf, Freddy’s grandfather was a member of parliament. Also the Ben Ish Chai, Hakham Yosef Chaim who is the descendant of a great rabbinical family. The Jews had many synagogues, schools, hospitals and clubs. The community trusts for the old people and invalids and for the blind. The opened an atelier which was a work shops for the poor girls to come and do sewing and embroidery. Thus giving them a chance to go and earn kosher money and not to go on the wrong road. Every bride used to have all her clothes, tablecloths, sheets, night clothes etc made there.<br /><br />Life was not too bad until April 1941, </i><br /><br /><b>The Jews of Iraq</b><br /><i>by Aida Zelouf (June 2008)</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-87125426773129401652010-11-05T15:56:18.504+00:002010-11-05T15:56:18.504+00:00thanks bh, you've been hard at work....thanks bh, you've been hard at work....bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-12490441760631678822010-11-05T15:51:06.513+00:002010-11-05T15:51:06.513+00:00http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/week-s-end/a-sampli...http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/week-s-end/a-sampling-of-diarna-s-finds-1.323072<br /><br />The Baba Sali's house, the Telouet salt mines, the ancient Jewish oasis of Khaybar, and the shrine in Hamadan.<br /><br />bhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-78781370004475273332010-11-05T15:50:33.278+00:002010-11-05T15:50:33.278+00:00http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/week-s-end/cyberspa...http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/week-s-end/cyberspaces-and-jewish-places-1.323071<br /><br />Cyberspaces and Jewish places<br />Volunteers around the world are mapping the ancient Jewish communities of North Africa and the Middle East using GPS, Google Earth and other 21st-century technologies, while virtually recreating almost-lost communities along the way.<br /><br />bhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-25226307197463857452010-11-05T15:16:13.841+00:002010-11-05T15:16:13.841+00:00http://www.jpost.com/Magazine/Features/Article.asp...http://www.jpost.com/Magazine/Features/Article.aspx?id=193983<br /><br />Jewish Quarter of Damascus blooms again:<br /><br />After years of poor maintenance and oblivion, the Harat al-Yahoud is coming back to life, but nobody is asking its former inhabitants.<br /><br />bhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
