Arab Jews demand end to attack on Lebanon
Contrary to popular opinion, there are indigenous Jewish populations throughout the Middle East. Some were converts well before the arrival of Christianity and Islam, while others were part of the Andalousi populations that fled the Inquisition. Many immigrated to Israel in '48, some stayed, and others returned (ie to Morocco, etc) because they missed their homeland and because of the second-class status many Arab Jews enjoy in Israel.
Persian Jews and Lebanese Jews have also issued statements condemning the Israeli campaign in Gaza and Lebanon.

Lebanon and Egypt forcibly ejected most of their Jewish communities after the '67 war. Just another example of how tolerant those societies are - couldn't bear to have Jews living with them after losing the war.

Iran gives those Persian Jews so much freedom of speech don't they. I'm sure that they could stand right up and criticize Ahmenijad if they wanted to. Not!

Whatever. It doesn't change the fact that they released those statements. And Lebanese Jews outside Lebanon have also signed on.

Whatever.
Huh? Why isn't the ejection of the Jewish community from Lebanon in '67 relevant?

I can't find any information about these statements - do you have some links?

Hi CLU,
I'd be interested in more information from a reputable source concerning the expulsion. If true, that makes the statement by teh Lebanese jews even more compelling. As for the link- click on the here- that's why it's a different color- it a liink- which will lead you to a website which will lead you to the text of the statement.
