Lorne, you may find this letter from an Iranian Jew interesting:
Let me give you some insight into what Arabs / Muslims have really done, and their real goals. I am a proud to be an American, born an Iranian Jew, and my actual ancestry is Iraqi Jewish. My ancestors lived in Iraq for 3000 years, back to the days of Nebuchadnezer, therefore, you can call me a Babylonian Jew. I am also very proud of my heritage. Babylonian Jews arrived in Babylon after the destruction of the first Temple in Jerusalem and created the Talmud, and established first system for Jews to preserve their Heritage in and to live and survive in exile.
They flourished there for thousands of years, creating a special and unique culture. Hundreds of thousands of such Jews lived in Iraq / Babylon. After the construction of the second temple in Jerusalem, 2/3 of the Jews still elected to stay in Babylon or Iraq. The Iranian or Persian Jews also lived in Iran for more than 2500 years dating back to Cyrus the Great.
As a matter of fact, Jews have lived and been an integral part of the Middle-East and especially many Arab countries for thousands of years. It is a fact that is much ignored and not known, that Arab Jews, much like the German Jews, lived and flourished in that region and each of those countries had a huge Jewish population. It is also a fact that Hitler's dream was realized nowhere
better than in these Arab Muslim countries, where, one by one, with the rise of Islam and especially the Turkish Ottoman Empire, each country killed and eradicated it's Jewish population, along with people of other religions such as Christians and Bahaiis. My own parents faced extermination in Iraq, much like in Germany, and had to leave everything and run. The population of Jews in Iraq today? 50, and Practicing in secret. Total number of Jews
living in Arab / Muslim countries today? approx. 20,000.
Hitler could not even dream of achieving this in Europe. Thousands of years of Jewish history and heritage have been systematically flushed out and destroyed in each and every one of these so called tolerant and free Arab / Muslim countries. When I hear about Arabs and Palestinians complain about Israel I am so disgusted, I feel like vomiting. Many of the Jews that fled these Arab countries over time, also fled to live in and around Jerusalem. The population of such Jews that lived in Israel before its statehood in 1948 numbered in the hundreds of thousands. I personally have relatives that have lived in Israel way before Israeli statehood in 1948. The fact that the region was suddenly occupied by a bunch of European Jews is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated. As a matter of fact, 40% of Israel today, consists of Jews from Arabic or
Sephardic background.
And now the last foothold of Judaism and Jewish History in that region is Israel. What have Arabs and Muslims done since it became a state? It is historical fact that they have tried to do the same that they have done in their own countries, exterminate the Jews. The grand Mufti's meeting with Hitler was a testament to the fact that they have adopted the old Nazi tactic of accusing the OTHER of crimes THEY are clearly guilty
of, namely racism, nazism, genocide, apartheid, etc., to achieve their ultimate goal, and are still using it today. Imagine the greed and savagery of these Arabs, a region so vast, with so much land and over a billion Arabs / Muslims, and they still want to destroy a small nation of 6,000,000 people, which by the way, is where they belong, according to their history. But not this time, and not ever again.
Amen |
