Hello, Elroy, I reflect what I read. I haven't read a single account that says Iraqi Jews can return to Iraq. I am not publishing footnoted papers here. Can we drop the name-calling here?

I don't think I've ever called you a name, other than Nadine :-) Anyway, the article says the idea of prohibiting Iraqi Jews from returning to Iraq was raised, and eventually voted down in the debate over the interim constitution. I'd post it, but I'm reading the good old fashioned hard copy.

As for I haven't read a single account that says Iraqi Jews can return to Iraq doesn't mean you've read articles that say they are prohibited from doing so, which was your claim, as well as then claiming the US was hushing it up. I've only read this one brief mention of the topic in an editorial in the WSJ (on Iraq, but not that subject).

BTW, if your article says the Israeli DM was born in Iraq, it is badly out of date. The current DM, Amir Peretz, was born in Morocco. The previous DM, Shaul Mofaz, was born in Iran. The DM before that, Fuad ben Eliezer, was born in Iraq.

So I don't know that I would trust its rather vague declarations.


The article says it was discussed during the debate over the interim constitution, so maybe that was when Eliezer was DM? I don't know.
