Yeah, the 120,000 Iraqi Jews "voluntarily" left all their property behind as a donation to the Iraqi state. Their also "voluntarily" left behind the bodies of the hundreds who had recently died in massacres. Can you say varying qualities of "voluntary"?

electronicintifada.net And this: <<< To cite a further example, in 1930-32 the Jewish community of Baghdad was incited to oppose, openly and formally (but unsuccessfully) in petitions to the British government and the League of Nations, the change of status of Iraq from a mandate to a formally independent country. The expulsion of Jews from Iraq in the early fifties is now known, from reports released from Israeli archives, to have been carried out with the full cooperation of Israeli agents who were established in Baghdad at the time and who not only negotiated with the Iraqi government and with the real ruler of the country, Nuri Said, but actually boasted in a telegram sent to Tel Aviv that they were "cooking more quickly" the law expelling the Jews from Iraq. The "quick cooking" involved anti-Iraqi activities in the United States in which American Jews took a prominent part. It seems that the Israeli influence on Iraqi policies in the period before 1958 was quite deep and extensive, and was probably one of the reasons for the fall of the regime. >>> mepc.org Tom
