412·9 months agosomeone here didn’t read.
the ones who initiated the pogrom weren’t part of the british government. they were part of the coup government who took power from the britishnonetheless you’re ignoring everything else i linked, like the persecution of yemenite jews.
or the persecution and discrimination against isfahan jews in iran and how they were forced to wear badges under islamic rule. centuries before the nazis.
“According to Iraqi government and British historical sources violence started when a delegation of Jewish Iraqis arrived at the Palace of Flowers (Qasr al Zuhur) to meet with the Regent Abdullah, and were attacked en route by an Iraqi Arab mob as they crossed Al Khurr Bridge. Iraqi Arab civil disorder and violence then swiftly spread to the Al Rusafa and Abu Sifyan districts, and got worse the next day when elements of the Iraqi police began joining in with the attacks upon the Jewish population, involving shops belonging to it being set on fire and a synagogue being destroyed. Many Jewish girls were gang-raped and children maimed and killed in front of their families.”
“Shalom Darwish, the secretary of the Jewish community in Baghdad, testified that several days before the Farhud, the homes of Jews were marked with a red palm print (“Hamsa”), by al-Futuwa youth. Al-Sabawi also instructed Jews in Baghdad to pack suitcases and to wait to be taken to “detention camps” “for their own safety”.”
“Two days before the Farhud, Yunis al-Sabawi, a government minister who proclaimed himself the governor of Baghdad, summoned Rabbi Sasson Khaduri, the community leader, and recommended to him that Jews stay in their homes for the next three days as a protective measure. He had planned for a larger massacre, preparing to broadcast a call for the Baghdad public to massacre Jews. However, the broadcast was never made since al-Sabawi was forced to flee the country.”
planned and done by muslim iraqis.
not to mention all of the other massacres and anti-semitism cases i’ve linked.
but it’s pretty clear by this point you’ll justify any case of anti-semitism by arabs / muslims.
Arabs have no problem with Jews. It was in Europe that Pogroms were a regular occurance.
Yemen
“In the late 1160s, the Yemenite ruler 'Abd-al-Nabī ibn Mahdi gave Jews a choice of conversion to Islam or martyrdom.”(893) “Under the Zaydi rule, the Jews were considered to be impure and therefore forbidden to touch a Muslim or a Muslim’s food. They were obligated to humble themselves before a Muslim, to walk to the left side, and greet him first. They could not build houses higher than a Muslim’s or ride a camel or horse, and when riding on a mule or a donkey, they had to sit sideways. Upon entering the Muslim quarter a Jew had to take off his foot-gear and walk barefoot. If attacked with stones or fists by youth, a Jew was not allowed to fight them. In such situations, he had the option of fleeing or seeking intervention by a merciful Muslim passerby.”
Egypt
“In 1300 Sultan Al-Nasir Qalawan ordered all Jews under his rule to wear yellow headgear to isolate the Egyptian Jewish community. This law would be enforced for centuries and later amended in 1354 to force all Jews to wear a sign in addition to yellow headwear. On multiple occasions the ulema persuaded the government to close or convert synagogues. Even major places of pilgrimage for Egyptian Jews such as the Dammah Synagogue were forced to close in 1301. Jews subsequently were excluded from bath houses and were prohibited to work in the national treasury. This repression of the Jewish community would continue for centuries.”and more
“In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan and forced to convert to Islam because of a common belief that their Jewishness was impure.”
“in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, although they were still required to wear a distinctive patch on their clothing.”muslims made jews wear patches before the nazis did.
so now you’re justifying anti-semitism?
just like neo-nazis giving excuses for their anti-semitism.
anti-semitism existed for centuries before israel
their official slogan:
God is the Greatest
Death to America
Death to Israel
A Curse Upon the Jews
Victory to Islami have a hunch they’ll just be happy to see more dead jews
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews_in_Israel (you can find the sources referenced there)
61% of israeli jews in 2005. 50.2% in 2009.
and that’s with all former-ussr jews counted as ashkenazi jews, despite some of them actually being mizrahi (bukharan jews and mountain jews).
you do realize a large part of israeli jews came back from arab countries? yemenite jews, iraqi, iranian, etc.
their skin color isn’t white.So let’s leave the skin colors of Israelis out of the conversation in relation to Palestinians. Please.
that was the point of my comment… the skin color is irrelevant
It’s because they’re dark skinned and poor, so we’re not caring about them?
most israelis have the same skin color as most palestinians…
“sufficient for us is allah, and the best disposer of our affairs."
more or less
It wasn’t nationalism and propaganda, it was suicide bombings everywhere on busses and such.
rashid ali was an iraqi muslim, so was yunis al-sabawi, so were al-futuwa youth that marked jewish houses before the farhud and so were the iraqi mob and police that massacred and raped jews.
arabs aren’t infantile human beings with no agency or responsibility.
you wrote that these things only happened in europe. iraq isn’t europe.
either way i gave other examples without any kind of european presence. and there are plenty more.
