Judeus Iraquianos

O FrontPage magazine relembra a razão, normalmente omitida, da emigração dos judeus iraquianos para Israel.

"(...) the reason why 99% of the Iraqi Jewish community departed following Israel's independence ? (...) (like Jews in Syria, Libya, Egypt and other Arab nations) [they] were systematically expelled by the Iraqi government. Iraqi legislation in 1948-51 first outlawed Zionist "behavior," then deprived Jews of their Iraqi nationality, access to education, and finally, of all their property. President Truman helped organize a massive airlift in 1951 to bring the desperate Iraqi Jewish community to Israel"
