Most historians agree that this so-called "Lavon affair" was trumped up to distract attention from the purge of the Moslem Brotherhood which took place at the same time. Nasser published a bunch of documents explaining that both Communism and Zionism desired world domination. Not the sort of stuff that rational people take seriously.

To get an idea of what it was like to be a Jew in Egypt, you might read this plaintive letter to the editor, written by a Muslim in 1948,

"In seems that most people in Egypt are unaware of the fact that, among the Moslem Egyptians, there are some of white skin. Every time I take the tramway I hear people around me saying, while pointing at me with their fingers, "A Jew...a Jew..." I have been beaten more than once because of this. This is why I beg you kindly to publish my photo, specifying that I am not a Jew and that my name is Adham Moustafa Ghaleb."
