I've read that Morocco & Jordan still have Jewish communities.

Where's Pat Buchanan on this? Oh, yeah, he's hanging with his new best bud Howard Dean.

Reading the history of Muhammad, and the butchering of the Arab Tribe in Medina after they dared to confront him, one understands the Arab view toward the Jews.

Muhammad had his followers bow towards Jerusalem - not Mecca - for almost 18 months, believing that the home of God. But as in today's world, the Arab 'believers' change anything they deem necessary in order to win their battles, er 'goals'.

What about passing this along to our Federal Legislators?

Do they just not know, or do they just not WANT to know?

Israel did this without receiving a single cent from the international community, relying instead on the resourcefulness of its citizens and donations from Diaspora Jewish communities.

As an American taxpayer, I resent this remark. We've sent more money to Israel than any other nation.

Have you ever heard any liberal scumbag mentioning JEWS when speaking of THE RIGHT OF RETURN of Palestinian Arabs?

They advocate the "right" to return of Arabs who were not born in Mandate of Palestine and whose parents or grandparents were not born there.

Yassir Arafat was a poster boy of this travesty.

The Israelis should make a huge deal of this, and demand "right of return" and reparations etc., from the islamofascists.

This would help them in winning the war of ideas that is far more important than tanks bulldozing houses.

From the article:
In 1941 ... In a two-day period Arab mobs went on a rampage in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq, murdering, raping and pillaging these cities' Jewish communities. Nearly 200 Jews were killed, more than 2,000 injured; some 900 Jewish homes were destroyed and looted, as were hundreds of Jewish-owned shops. My father was a survivor of the carnage. He hid in a hole dug in the ground to save his life. He saw Iraqi soldiers pull small children away from their parents and rip the arms off young girls to steal their bracelets. He saw pregnant women being raped and their stomachs cut open.

From the article:
In 1948, Iraq rounded up and imprisoned hundreds of Jews. Others were removed from their jobs in the civil service, business licenses of Jews were revoked, and quotas were placed on Jewish high school and college students. Later, discriminatory restrictions were imposed on Jewish travel abroad and the buying or selling of property.
In 1950, the Iraqi parliament passed a law called Ordinance for the Cancellation of Iraqi Nationality for Jews, Law No. 1 that stripped Iraqi Jews of their citizenship. In 1951, the Iraqi parliament passed another law, confiscating all Jewish property.
