Jewish exodus from the Muslim world
The Jewish exodus from the Muslim world was the migration, departure, flight and expulsion of around 900,000 Jews from Muslim-majority countries in West Asia, North Africa and, to a lesser extent, Central Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia in the 20th century. Predominantly in response to the creation of Israel, the exodus mainly transpired from 1948 to the early 1970s, with one final exodus from Iran in 1979–80 following the Iranian Revolution. An estimated 650,000 of the departees settled in Israel.

Correct me if I misunderstood, but you're saying that the exodus if 900,000 Jews was predominantly in response to the creation of Israel rather than a religious difference.

That would be the surface level presumption. I think it gave the other countries an excuse to expel the Jews from their country.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hamas official vows to repeat Israel attacks ‘again and again’ until it’s destroyed
By Jesse O’Neill, 7 hrs ago
New York Post

A Hamas official has vowed to repeat the horrific terror attacks on Israel earlier this month “again and again” until the country is completely destroyed, insisting it has “no place on our land.”

Ghazi Hamad, a member of the militant group’s decision-making political bureau, warned that Gaza leadership would replicate the coordinated Oct. 7 attack , referred to by the terrorists as Operation al-Aqsa Flood, which killed more than 1,400 Israelis and took some 240 hostages.

“The al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time and there will be a second, a third, a fourth because we have the determination, the resolve and the capabilities to fight,” Hamad said in an Oct. 24 Lebanese television interview republished by British outlets Wednesday.

Hamad said the terrorist organization is willing to “pay a price.”

“We are called a nation of martyrs and are proud to sacrifice martyrs,” Hamad said. “Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country because it constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nations, and must be finished.”

“We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again,” Hamas’ Ghazi Hamad said last week.

“We are not ashamed to say this, with full force. We must teach Israel a lesson and we will do this again and again.”

Hamad said Hamas was “justified” in its attack on Israel, which was created in 1948, sparking the Israeli-Arab war and leading to the expulsion of Palestinian refugees from the territory.

The narrow Gaza Strip, home to some 2.3 million people, has been under an Israeli and Egyptian blockade for security reasons since Hamas came to power.

Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the US and European Union over its suicide bombings and rocket attacks.

“The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood and tears,” Hamad said, calling the creation of the Jewish state “illogical.”

“It is Israel, not us. We are the victims of the occupation. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do. On October 7, October 10, October 1,000,000 — everything we do is justified.”

His comments came before Israel had launched a ground incursion with the stated purpose of wiping out Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip since ousting the Palestinian Authority in 2007.

Almost 8,800 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli forces since war broke out, including 3,648 children, the Gaza Health Ministry said Wednesday.

The ministry is run by Hamas, which has been accused by the US of inflating the death toll .

This all started back in 1948 when our President - H. Truman (who I think the world of) gave away something we didn't own & never owned -- Now I fully understand why he did it - but just the same -
You can't give away real estate you never owned.

From what I read, the Israelis have vowed to completely destroy Hamas. I guess it's going to be a long war.

Compounding the problem is the cry from outsiders for Israel to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians, when in fact, Palestinians side with Hamas. It would appear that to destroy Hamas, all Palestinians in Gaza must be destroyed too.

Israel has the right to exist as a country. They have a right to defend themselves. If you have a problem with that I don't know what to tell you. You must support Hamas and their ideology.

Say what?? Your comment is repugnant, and as a Jewish (Israeli) citizen, resent your comment and it's implication.

I sure did NOT get that out of his post...maybe you should re-evaluate what he said!!

One Rude Dawg Loc: Athol, ID

He's telling, me I don't care about the Jews and all the misery and injustice that has befallen them over time and I don't like it. I am for the state of Israel and if he or you are not then you must be against it. You fill in the rest.

You didn't read the last sentence.

lbrande

You mean the fact that there were no palestinians till after the 6 day war, or the fact that Palestine was a region and not a country?

lbrande

Do you think that there is a deliberate misunderstanding of my post?
