The Forgotten Refugees – 1,000,000 Jews Expelled from Muslim Lands
Part 1 of 2

In 1945 there were up to one million Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa outside the Palestine Mandate – many living in … all » communities dating back more than three millennia. Today, there are only several thousand remaining.
Who are these Jews? What precipitated their mass-exodus in the 20th century? Where did they go? And why do we always hear about the Palestinian refugees, but didn’t even know these Jewish refugees existed?

An excellent documentary on history of Middle East from a Jewish perspective. Everyone should watch this documentary and wonder how quickly the culture of the Middle East has changed in just 70 years.

Why is world and UN not paying attention to these Jews who lived under dhimmitude (Apartheid) in Muslim countries and had to flee with their lives before and around when Israel was created in 1948 and ended with 1967 victory of the Jews.
Palestinian Arabs from Gaza and West Bank should be given the properties and lands (in areas about 5 areas of Israel) and let Israel within defensible borders West of Jordan and north of Sinai. Only then there would be hope that Arabs would give up their delusional Jew-hating genocidal desires for Israel and looting what Jews had built.
Arab countries had created this problem of Arabs by not letting refugees settle among them and by the UN who keeps them on the dole for 5 generations. Israel is the ONLY democracy in the Middle East with no natural resources or fossils except sun and human potential of Jews, who had turned West Palestine into a great country from swamp and desert. Live and let live. Islam has to REFORM to make it compatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or has no place in the modern society.

No matter what land or concessions the Muslims get, they will never make peace with Israel. Their Qur’an forbids it.
Not another penny of aid for Muslims, not another square inch of land, nothing.
