Jews and Arabs - Page 32 - Albert Memmi - J. P. O'Hara, 1975 - 220 pages
Can it be that you seriously believe in the myth, deliberately invented for the sake of reassuring Westerners, that the Jews led idyllic lives in the Arab countries? As recently as 1912, Jews who dared to leave their districts in Morocco were compelled to take off their shoes, as if all of Moroccan soil was holy for them and they desecrated it if they touched it. Also in Morocco, in 1907, a huge massacre of Jews took place in Casablanca, along with the usual embellishments - rape, women carried away into the mountains, hundreds of homes and shops burned, etc.; in 1912, a big massacre in Fez; 1948, in Oujda and other cities.

Elsewhere, pogroms were more frequent and deadly. In Fez, Morocco, some six thousand were slaughtered in 1033, and many others died in the city in pogroms in 1276, 1465, and 1912.

Fez [JVL]
FEZ, city in *Morocco, one of the most important in the Islamic world; founded by Idris I...
In 1912, two weeks after the establishment of the French Protectorate, a revolt broke out in Fez. The mellah with a population of 12,000 was completely ransacked and set on fire by the mob; about 45 were killed and 27 were wounded. Under the pretext of munitions smuggling, the French military authorities had previously confiscated all the weapons of the Jews, who were left defenseless. The Sharif received them within the precincts of the palace and ordered the distribution of food and clothes among them. From 1925 many Jews established themselves in the new town of Fez, together with the Europeans; it was only the poor and some Orthodox families who remained in the mellah where in 1942 the Vichy laws sought to reintegrate all those who had left it. In 1947 there were 22,484 Jews living in Fez and its surroundings. These included several physicians, lawyers, industrialists, and owners of agricultural estates. The traditional occupations disappeared with modernization, and commerce came under Muslim domination, with the exception of the precious metals and cereals businesses in which the Jews retained the leading role.

I wonder how todays politically correct newspapers would have written that....back then, you got your news and it wasn’t sugar coated..
I remember as a kid reading a biography about Patton. The author described ho prior to his landing in Morocco, he was worried about possible Vichy French resistance, and also, a lack of order which would lead to a massacre of the Jews by the locals.
I thought “how could the locals hate the Jews so much, if Israel hadn’t even been established yet?”
I least I started to question the propaganda we are all fed regarding the Middle East.
And still to this day Jews just love politicians who are for gun control and gun bans...
Just can never understand given their history.
>Children had their heads chopped off in their parents’ presence, while others were tortured to death in ways too awful to describe.<
.
All this happened back in 1920, and GWB as POTUS still had the audacity to call Islam a ROP? If Islam is a ROP, the Nazis must be a righteous bunch.
And after Bush, the country elects a Muslim?
Truly, Bush’s fault.
