THE JEWS OF IRAQ By Naeim Giladi It's amazing how you constantly bring up this unsubstantiated BS when so much of the historical fact is VERY CLEAR AND IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN!! What's next? Chariots of the Gods? On the other hand, here is FAR MORE CREDIBLE documentation/discussion of the Jewish Exodus: At times, Iraqi politicians candidly acknowledged that they wanted to expel their Jewish population for reasons of their own, having nothing to do with retaliation for the Palestinian exodus. Perhaps the most interesting incident took place at the tail end of the Israeli war of independence, in late January or early February 1949, when Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri Sa'id described a plan to expel Jews from Iraq to Alec Kirkbride, then the British ambassador at Amman, and Samir El-Rifa'i, head of the Jordanian government. Kirkbride recounts that Nuri came out with the astounding proposition that a convoy of Iraqi Jews should be brought over in army lorries escorted by armoured cars, taken to the Jordanian-Israeli frontier, and forced to cross the line. Quite apart from the certainty that the Israelis would not consent to receive deportees in that manner, the passage of Jews through Jordan would almost certainly have touched off serious trouble amongst the very disgruntled Arab refugees who were crowded into the country. Either the Iraqi guards would have had to shoot other Arabs to protect the lives of their charges. . . meforum.org jimena.org justiceforjews.com justiceforjews.com justiceforjews.com
