<font color=blue>Jews ethnically cleansed from Arab countries.<font color=black>
The Jewish World Congress has issued a statement to the United Nations requesting that the UN address the plight of Jewish refugees, who were forced out of their homes in Arab countries.
The following is an extract from the WJC statement to the UN.
"Jews have in fact lived in what are now Arab lands since the destruction of the First Jewish Temple, in 586 B.C.E. During the late 1940s, 50s, and 60s, hundreds of thousands of Jews were driven from their homes in these countries, usually with little more than the clothes on their backs. All their property, in some cases considerable holdings, was sequestered and confiscated.
In 1945 there were approximately 900,000 Jews living in communities throughout the Arab world. Today, there are less than 8,000. Some Arab states, such as Libya, are completely judenrein; or as it is more politically correct to state today “ethnically cleansed”. In others there are only a handful of surviving elderly Jews. Of the 900,000, at least 600,000 were absorbed by Israel where they and their descendants today compose roughly 50% of Israel's Jewish population."
