It would also be a problem for them when the Jews go after their confiscated wealth.

My wife's cousin married a Kurdish Jew who grew up in Iraq then moved to Israel. He loved his youth in Kurdish Iraq and says that there were no Muslim/Jewish problems then.

Today, the Jewish community in Iraq has dwindled to just 13 members.

Surely this doesn't mean 13 people? If so, I can't imagine any of the exiles wanting to go back...

Hmmm...no right of return in Iraq. Isn't that what the entire Palestinian issue is?

I've known quite a few Jews from old Iraqi families who emigrated to America. They said they weren't afraid of slaughter - as in old-style, European pogroms - but they weren't first-class citizens either.

In case anyone is still in doubt all Arabs who complain about apartheid policies in Israel are nothing but sub-human, lying, hypocrital sacks of excrement.

They want a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian problem before taking any action on the return of Jewish citizenship and property? Here's a proposal; give all title and citizenship rights of expelled Jews - from anywhere in the Arab world - to Palestinians. Expel the Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza and let them try to collect.

But not everyone on the council supported the legislation. Yonadam Kanna, an Assyrian Christian, said he opposed the idea of keeping the Jews out. "I think we should allow everyone to return," Mr. Kanna said. "It should not matter that they are Jewish."

...and people are scared of mel's movie but those same people support the palestineans

Before we give power back to the Iraqis, they must be denazified. If this doesn't occur, and Militant Islam has its way in the minds of the people there, the new state will fail, and new terror will originate from it.
