Noam Nir, an Israeli businessman who lives and owns a property in Morocco, was shocked when he found out that the building he owns in the city of Mogador became the focus of an anti-Semitic demonstration. Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Nir expressed a serious concern that such demonstrations, that were not commonplace in Morocco until recently and have suddenly begun to appear on its streets, would lead to imminent harm anhd endanger the lives of the Jewish community in Morocco.

Amazing that some people in NYC think allowing a
mosque to be built next to the twin towers memorial
won’t lead to episodes of this type.

Learn from the past, or have no future.

Nir explained that the “common man” as he put it in Morocco does not distinguish between Judaism and Zionism, and as such equates criticism of Zionism with an attack on Judaism. This, according to Nir, "puts the Jewish community in danger." He noted that so far anti-Semitism in Morocco has been well-hidden, mostly because there is a strong police presence in the country. However, he added that the recent demonstrations, both the one that was held against the King’s advisor and the one near the building which he owns, went unanswered on the part of local police.

Seems the world's resurgence might have more to do with the 'feeling' that the United States doesn't back Israel... anymore.

It’s the only Arab country left that has a Jewish populatioon, period. But not for much longer.
