Thomas, it must be very embarrassing to your family for you to base your entire antiSemitism on lies? Can't you come up with any antiSemitic statements that are true?
Here is some more info for you from the World Jewish Congresses statement to the United Nations:
===> "In 1941, during the festival of Shavuot, 180 Jews were murdered in a pogrom in Baghdad. Approximately a thousand were injured, and damage to Jewish property amounted to $3 million. That murderous rampage sent shockwaves through the Jewish community, but it was not until after 1948 that conditions became truly intolerable. Jews experienced severe economic persecution, leading to grinding poverty among all sectors of the Jewish community. In 1950, the Iraqi government revoked the Jews' citizenship and permitted them to leave but beforehand, the Iraqi government froze all Jewish assets, prevented Jews from accessing their bank accounts, and closed Jewish warehouses and factories. The various racially motivated legislation and decrees are fully documented in the official Iraqi Gazette of that time.
Most Iraqi Jews found refuge in Israel in the early 1950s. The remaining few thousand experienced economic deprivation, arrest, and harassment and many tried to escape in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, this ancient Jewish community, which in 1948 numbered 135,000, has only a score left, mostly elderly." <===
