THE ARABS AND THE DISAPPEARING JEWS

The population in Iraq at last count was about 5
The population in Libya is Zero
The small remainer in Tunisia is under severe attack and won’t last long

But in Egypt they disappear faster than anywhere. THAT is the Arab Nightmare wrongly named “Spring”. They are down to 60 from about 80,000 some decades ago (40 or 50 years ago)


At the moment the Arabs of Egypt are going mad organizing to prevent a traditional pilgrimage which Jews have made to the tomb of a noted and historical Rabbi. THAT is the Arab Nightmare.

A noted Jewish organization famous for its work on The Holocaust (The Simon Wiesenthal Centre) has commented:

SPEAKING OF THE ARABS
"In their worldview, there is no respect for the traditions for Jews, dead or alive," he said. [...]
The tomb is a vestige of Egypt's once-prosperous Jewish community, which at the time of the first war with Israel in 1948 numbered about 80,000 people.
But the Arab-Israeli wars, and the resentment and expulsions that they engendered, have reduced the number of Egypt's Jews to about 60 individuals, according to the Israeli embassy."

{ In 1948, there were approximately 150,000 Jews in Iraq. The community was concentrated in Baghdad and Basra. By 2003, there were only approximately 100 left of this previously thriving community. In 1941, following Rashid Ali's pro-Axis coup, riots known as the Farhud broke out in Baghdad in which approximately 180 Jews were killed and about 240 were wounded, 586 Jewish-owned businesses were looted and 99 Jewish houses were destroyed.[41]

At the time of the Gulf War there were about 50. There are now only a few.
