The price of the expulsion of “Arab Jews”

After the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, most of the Arab countries, and in the following years, expelled their Jewish citizens to Israel, their number reached about 900,000 Arab Jews. Why were they expelled and what sin did they commit? !

Over time, a catastrophic result resulted, as the Arabs lost a human elite of money, wealth, influence, science and culture, and as soon as the Arabs waged absurd wars against Israel, they were defeated and suffered heavy losses. of the Arab leadership has continued to weave conspiracy theories in front of its oppressed peoples and seeks a scapegoat to justify its successive defeats against Israel.

If you visit Israel one day, you will see different types of citizens, its situation is exactly the same as that of the United States, where people have sought refuge from immigrants from different parts of the world and from different races, and about the half of them are from Arab countries, Arabs to be arbitrarily expelled, and they now constitute half of Israel’s citizens.

One need only look at the number of Jews who remained in their Arab countries to show the difference between the past and the present, as there were hundreds of thousands of Jewish citizens in Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, the Levant and the Maghreb, and today there are only a few dozen left, and on the contrary, the Palestinians find the most demanding asylum in the world. After the 1948 war, around 700,000 Palestinians left their country, not only because of the war, but also because some Arab leaders asked them to leave the Jewish areas, on condition that they return there after the destruction. of the nascent Jewish state. It should be noted that Khaled al-Azm, the then Prime Minister of Syria, himself admitted in his memoirs this Arab role in persuading the Palestinians to leave, and the Arabs did not realize the seriousness of this mistake. which created the Palestinian refugee crisis, which prompted the United Nations to form UNRWA in 1949, the largest and oldest UN agency ever created to deal with a single group of refugees.

Our problem in the Arab world is a mental problem that lies in our hostility towards the Jews, and we have not learned the lessons of history when some nations have come before us to expel their Jewish citizens. Adolf Hitler had not expelled his Jewish inventors such as Albert Einstein and Edward Teller, the Arabs, who may have become a support and aid to the Arab regimes in the face of Israel.

Anti-Semitism has not started since the establishment of the State of Israel. Rather, it is an ideology that is still prevalent in heritage books, which are personal interpretations in ancient times. It was appropriate for those times which were much less open than our present times. As a result, the hatred will continue until the heritage books do. She is always responsible for inciting us to anti-Jews since the founding stage of the education of children. Programs in all Arab countries need sweeping amendments, erasing all elements that incite hatred, advocating the language of tolerance, and staying away from sectarian and ideological fanaticism, as hatred is a highly contagious disease. which negatively affects individuals in society, whether they are ordinary people or educated people.
