Arabs expelled a million
Jews from all their countries and confiscated their assets.
The Jewish exodus
from Arab lands refers to the 20th century expulsion or mass departure of Jews,
primarily of Sephardi and Mizrahi background, from Arab and Islamic countries.
The migration started in the late 19th century, but accelerated after the 1948
Arab-Israeli War. According to official Arab statistics, over 989,000 Jews were
forced out of their homes in Arab countries from 1948 until the early 1970's. Some 650,000 resettled in Israel , leaving behind
personal property valued today at more than $990 billion. Jewish-owned real-estate left
behind in Arab lands has been estimated at 120,000 square kilometers (four
times the size of the State of Israel). Valued
today at about 15 trillion dollars.

Patricia Metzger's
campaign to achieve justice sheds light on a little-discussed aspect of the
Israeli-Arab conflict: In the wake of the War of Independence and the
establishment of Israel , two major
population movements took place in the Middle East . The one that is
frequently mentioned is the Palestinian exodus, but at the same time almost one
million Jews were forced to leave Arab countries where they had lived for
hundreds of years. According to official Arab statistics, due to persecution,
some 990,000 Jews left those countries from 1948 to the beginning of the 1970's,
and about 610,000 of them were absorbed in Israel . For the sake of
comparison, the United Nations data estimate the original population of
Arab-Palestinian refugees at 585,000.
Because we had no
home for nearly two thousand years, Israel made itself
independent of its Arab-British oppressors in 1948. In that year, another great
Jewish Exodus occurred, leading to a large increase in the population of Israel and the
decimation of some of the oldest Jewish communities on earth.
Jews have lived in the countries now occupied by Arabs since the destruction of the firstTemple in 586 B.C.E.
Yet, the descendants of these original inhabitants of so many Middle Eastern
lands were driven out of their ancestral homes by the religious bigotry and
racial animosity of the Arab invaders.
In 1945 there were more than 995,000 Jews living in Arabic speaking countries. Today, there are less than 6,000. Some Arab states likeLibya are completely
judenrein, i.e., cleansed of Jews, as the Arabs' best friend, Hitler, liked to
say.
About 640,000 of these Jews were absorbed byIsrael . Another 360,000
went to Europe , America or Australia . Evidently, then,
the refugee problem in the Middle East consists of the failure of the Arab
states to compensate these 988,000 for the property and assets they were forced
to leave behind.
Examples areIraq , which once had a
Jewish population of 97,000 and now only has less than one hundred Jews left. A
good number of Jews left Egypt in 1948. Egypt is the country
where Yasser Arafat was born (Arafat is an Egyptian. His real name is
Husseinei). There were 81,000 Jews in Egypt in 1948. Yet,
in connection with the Egyptian aggression of 1957, more than 27,300 Jews were
forced to leave Egypt . Today, the Jewish
community in Egypt amounts to
only 180. These Jews left assets of $55 billion, for which they should now be
compensated.
There are no Jews inAlgeria today. That
country is also Judenrein. In 1948 there were 160,000 Jews in Algeria . In Morocco , which was the home
of 298,000 Jews before 1948, there are today only 5,700 Jews. Similar
decimation occurred in Syria , Tunisia , Yemen and other Arab
states. The governments of the these countries forcibly expelled all Jews, who
then increased the Israeli population. From the Arab point of view that was
indeed as stupid a policy as the Arab incitement of the Russian population against
the Jews in that country. That anti-Jewish campaign by the Arab agitators led
to the arrival in Israel of over a
million Russian Jews. Many of the Jews were engineers and scientists of the
first order. This helped Israel a great deal.
Now the Arabs are making life miserable for the Jews of France and Belgium . There are over 750,000
Jews in France . If the Arabs keep
up their attacks on these European Jews then Israel will again
absorb a large contingent of Jews forced to flee France (and Belgium ).
The Jewish exodus from the Arab lands was dramatic. Many Jews fled on foot while others were rescued by “Operation Magic Carpet.” This consisted of bringing 56,000 Yemeni Jews toIsrael by plane.
It is evident, therefore, that the “refugee problem” inIsrael consists of
the failure of the Arabs to pay compensation to the one million Jews who were
driven out of their homelands by the Arab hate mongers.

Text of Law drafted by Political Committee of Arab
League
1. Beginning with November
28, 1947, all Jewish citizens of (Name of Arab Country) will be considered as
members of the Jewish minority State of Palestine and will have to register
with the authorities of the region wherein they reside, giving their names, the
exact number of members in their families, their addresses, the names of their
banks and the amounts of their deposits in these banks. This formality is to be
accomplished within seven days.
2. Beginning with (November 28, 1947 ), bank accounts of Jews will be frozen. These funds will be utilized in part or in
full to finance the movement of resistance to Zionist ambitions in Palestine .
3. Beginning with (November 28, 1947 ), only Jews who are subjects of foreign countries
will be considered as "neutrals".
These will be compelled either to return to their countries, with a
minimum of delay, or be considered as Arabs and obliged to accept active
service with the Arab army.
4. Jews who accept active service in Arab armies
or place themselves at the disposal of those armies, will be considered as
"Arabs".
5. Every Jew whose activities reveal that he is
an active Zionist will be considered as a political prisoner and will be
interned in places specifically designated for that purpose by police authorities
or by the Government. His financial
resources, instead of being frozen, will be confiscated.
6. Any Jew who will be able to prove that his
activities are anti-Zionist will be free to act as he likes, provided that he
declares his readiness to join the Arab armies.
7. The foregoing (para.6) does not mean that
those Jews will not be submitted to paragraphs 1 and 2 of this law.
Palestine aka Greater Israel is Jewish territory according to International law and treaties, additionally incorporating the January 3, 1919 Faisal Weizmann agreement executed by both parties in London on January 3, 1919.
ReplyDeleteThe Law of Return is for The Jews and reciprocating equity by the Arabs
The Law of Return is for The Jews, the option to return to Greater Israel and The Arab-Palestinians to leave Greater Israel and return to the Arab countries they originated from. The Arab-Palestinians should move to the Million plus Jewish homes and land confiscated by the Arab countries from the million persecuted and expelled Jewish families and the 120,440 sq. km. of Real estate property the Arabs confiscated from the million plus Jewish families and their children expelled from Arab countries. That is the only viable alternative. (why are we ignoring the Faisal Weizmann agreement of January 3, 1919 which is the only valid agreement executed by both the Arabs and the Jews). In reviewing various legal aspects of agreements and resolutions to be applied to third parties, all resolutions by the UN which are recommendation only, must be executed and agreed to by the parties otherwise they have no validity. Therefore, any and all resolutions issued by the UN which have not been executed and agreed to by the parties have no affect and are null and void. This applies to any of the League of Nation and the UN resolutions that affect the territories and boundaries of Israel and any other resolutions that affect Israel. That leaves us back to the territory allocated by the San Remo Conference of 1920 and its confirmation by the Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne, which is all of Palestine. (By the way I have the minutes of the 1918-19 Paris Conference, The 1920 San Remo Conference and The Treaty of Sevres which was executed by all the Supreme Allied Powers).
Face it and stop hallucinating, once and for all. There will never be an Arab-Palestinian State in Greater Israel West of the Jordan River (Judea and Samaria). Jerusalem the United Eternal Capital of the Jewish people.
Responding to arguments that million Jews expelled from Arab countries has no bearing on the Arabs who left Palestine or Arabs displaced from Jewish land and or formerly Ottoman government land has nothing to do with each other. The law of equity in not a one way street, it works both ways. The Arab nations that expelled the million Jewish families (who lived in the Arab countries for over 2500 years and owned 120,440 sq. km. of land, homes, businesses and personal assets valued in the trillions of dollars) they are the ones who asked the Arabs in Palestine to vacate their homes while they obliterate the Jews and they are the ones supporting the Arab-Palestinians in demanding law of return and compensation. Those Arab countries are financing the Arab-Palestinians in their quest to eject the Jews a second time from their own historical ancestral homeland. The best and only solution is a population transfer.

Over one million Jews and their families have been forced to flee from Arab countries and hundreds of Jewish communities have been ethnically cleansed throughout this century. Most of these refugees now live in Israel and their old homes are no more. The Arab countries confiscated the Jewish personal assets, businesses, homes and 120,400 sq. km. of Real estate property which is 6 times the size of Israel and valued in the trillions of dollars. In fact, Jews who immigrated to Israel from Arab and Muslim lands and their descendants constitute over 50% of Israel's population.
