Judiska flyktingar från arabländerna

De judiska flyktingarna från arabländerna är ett fenomen som sällan uppmärksammas. En artikel i Jerusalem Post tar upp ämnet.

"There is a troubling silence here and in the global Jewish community, in the context of Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, about the fate of those Middle Eastern Jews who were persecuted, stripped of their citizenship and expelled from their homes and in the 1940s, '50s and '60s."

Today, only an estimated 5,000 Jews remain in Arab lands, most of them in Morocco. "
