Aleppo yet. There used to be a large Jewish population in Aleppo, but most of them emigrated long ago. Aleppo was the end of the Silk Route and was a very important city in its day.

There used to be large Jewish populations in most ME and continental European cities. Now, not so many.

Damascus was an important city also. I did not think I would be around to see it, but I think it is coming sooner rather than later. Damascus will be an ruinous heap and Mr. Obama is helping in that situation.
