Majority of jews coming from europe?? "


Really, so despite the narratives of hundreds of thousands of Jews that said they fled out of fear, and not out of economic impetus, we are supposed to take your word for it....

How ignorant you are of the travesty of Sephardic Jews. As if they Moroccan Jews left their hometowns in Casablanca and Rabat due to "cheap land". The Jews were well off in most Arab countries thanks to the protective colonial governments. They were also set up in make shift refugee camps in the desert for the first decades of the state. Your argument that they came for "cheap land" is quite baseless, especially taking into account that most lost all of their possesions in their exodus.

Your chart that you post is Fallacy: Red Herring

I never argued about the proportion of Jewish immigrants. As far as "my logic", Muslim countries did treat Jews better than European. Do you want a prize that they were only subjugated as dhimmis rather than in a Holocaust?

"and also by ur logic, israel dosnt treat arabs any better does it?

from a 58% MAJORITY being muslim to only a 16%???? ethnical cleansing either by mass emigration of arabs or mass immigration of violent israelis????


wat about the israelis who LEFT ISRAELI territory for illegal settlements in pali land???

they were either:

a) GREEDY opportunists who were tricked by the ISRAELi govt for cheap land (tel avivs just too darn expensive now)

or

b) theologically 'zionists' and believe its their god given land to gods chosen ppl

DID THEY "FLEE" as well???"


My logic shows that Jews treated teh Arabs much better. Hence why 33% of Arabs remained in Israel, and all the peaceful Druze remained in Israel. The peaceful Jews hardly had the chance in iraq, afghanistan, Yemen, morocco, libya, tunisia.

a) These greedy opportunists lost everything they had to flee. Here was a great narrative of an egyptian Jewish family that lost their wealth. They didn't exactly get "cheap land" from Israel. They became impoverished in Brooklyn afteralll.:
Amazon.com: The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit: My Family's Exodus from Old Cairo to the New World: Lucette Lagnado: Books

b)It was their human right to immigrate to a land where they would not be persecuted. Whether some combined religious zeal with this is irrelevant to their actual right to flee Arab persecution.
