"Back to the Jewish State, there were Jews in Iraq long before there were Arabs. Under the Ottoman Empire the Jewish Community administered the country, handled the banking, commerce, and made Iraq a prosperous country."

Surely shoots to hell the idea or propaganda stories put forth by the Zionists that Arabs (Moslems) want to wipe Jews off the face of the earth.

If they did, they surely had plenty of time and opportunity to do so...

"“The majority of the pictures that we see on TV are of areas that are known to us,” Maurice Shohet, the congregation’s president (and no relation to David), said. “My family lived in Baghdad, in the Masbah district, among our neighbors—Muslims and Christians—in a peaceful and lovely relationship. We used to socialize with them and be friendly with them, up until the Six-Day War. That’s when the change started, and they started to arrest the Jews.” (In September of 1970, he and his family fled to the north, where a Kurdish paratrooper escorted them across the mountains into Iran.)"
