Today we remember the fate of 850,000 Jewish refugees forced out of Arab countries and Iran in the 20th century. Communities dating back 2,500 years were destroyed.

At the UN, I asked Algeria, Egypt, Iraq & the others: “Where are your Jews?”

FULL VIDEO:
On this day 72 years ago, Nov. 30, 1947—a day after the UN voted to partition Palestine into Arab & Jewish states—Syria incited mobs in Aleppo. Rioters burned 50 Jewish shops, 5 schools, 18 synagogues, the community’s orphanage, a youth club & 150 homes.

In Aden, now part of Yemen, local Arabs slaughtered or burned to death 87 Jews, including children, women & the elderly; dozens more were seriously injured; the 2 Jewish schools, several synagogues & many homes were destroyed; every Jewish shop was looted.

In December 1960, Algerian Arabs attacked the Great Synagogue of Algiers, ripped memorial plaques from the walls & torched Torah scrolls. In June 1961, the murder of famed Jewish musician Sheikh Raymond Leiris was seen as a warning, prompting Jews to flee.

In 15 years of participating in UN assemblies, I have observed the adoption of some 600 resolutions on the Palestinians that were sponsored by Arab & Islamic states, yet I have never seen a single resolution for the 850,000 #JewishRefugees they forced out.

SHAME: 🇨🇦 Canada joins the jackals, votes for anti-Israel resolution co-sponsored by North Korea, Zimbabwe & the PLO. Resolution condemns Israel for "occupying" Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem & holiest sites of Judaism. Ignores hundreds of Palestinian rockets just fired at Israelis.
@JustinTrudeau @CanadaUN The vote change is dramatic. If it wanted to shift, Trudeau's government could have moved from a No, as it voted last year with U.S., to an Abstain, as Australia voted today. Instead, they jumped all the way to a Yes—for the first time in years and breaking bi-partisan tradition.
@JustinTrudeau @CanadaUN Trudeau is trading Canada's bedrock principles of fairness & equality for a UN Security Council seat. By voting for a resolution co-sponsored by North Korea & Zimbabwe, he has entered a Faustian bargain with dictatorships that does not bode well for a free & democratic society.

Amnesty a menti en accusant à tort Israël d’une attaque perpétrée par un missile palestinien. «Nous condamnons fermement l’attaque contre la Commission palestinienne pour les droits de l’homme dont le bureau à Gaza a été frappé par un missile israélien...»
unwatch.org/amnesty-a-ment…
Hier après-midi, quelques heures seulement après l’explosion à Gaza d’un missile dans les bureaux de la Commission indépendante palestinienne pour les droits de l’homme, Amnesty International s’est empressée d’accuser Israël de l’attaque.

Cependant, selon un rapport publié aujourd’hui par Amira Hass, correspondante pro-Palestinenne de Haaretz dans les territoires, l’explosion a été provoquée par un “missile égaré sur ses lanceurs, presque certainement des membres du Jihad islamique”. haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…

1/ Here's Reuters video of the Palestinian missile in Gaza going astray yesterday at about 10 am right into the fifth floor office of the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights, a bombing for which Amnesty International immediately and falsely condemned Israel.
2/ Photos of the Palestinian missile entry point into the offices of the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights, on the fifth floor of the Al-Harara office building in Gaza City, which is across from the Palestinian Legislative Council building.
3/ Video of the aftermath.

Remembering the Jewish refugees from #Syria and the immense suffering which Syria has never made amends for.

I made these images several years ago. Still, years later, not one country has made amends. Today on Memorial Day, we remember. #JewishRefugees
Remembering the Jewish refugees from #Tunisia and the suffering which Tunisia has never made amends for.

Today on Memorial Day for the Jewish refugees from Arab countries, we remember. #JewishRefugees
Remembering the Jewish refugees from #Yemen and the suffering which Yemen has never made amends for. Arab states ethnically cleansed their Jews - yet the world is silent.

Today on Memorial Day for the Jewish refugees from Arab countries, we remember. #JewishRefugees

It’s happening, anti-Sisi protests in Egypt. May not spiral but a lot is happening these days, and this does seem like the beginning of a new phase.
“Rise up, fear not, Sisi must go.”
Reports of protests in Cairo, Alexandria, and now Suez

Qasem Soleimani's recent visit to Al-#Bukamal city and his inspection of the Iranian militias carries several messages, mainly:
- To reaffirm the promises he made to the elements and leaders of the Iranian militias when he visited #DeirEzzor in 2017-2018 during fighting against #Daesh, where he still repeatedly gives those promises of victory and the achieving of the goals set by the #Iranians.
- a message to the Syrian Democratic Forces (#SDF) "you cannot stand against us, no matter how powerful militarily you are."
- A message to the #USA that #Soleimani can move whenever and however he likes without being targeted "a kind of provocative act".

Évian Conference, July 6–15, 1938, at Évian-les-Bains, France, organized by FDR who hoped to obtain commitments to accept Jewish refugees from some of the invited 32 nations & 24 organizations, and to deflect from the U.S.'s severely limited quota. Ireland declined to accept any.
The conference to obtain commitments to accept Jewish refugees was attended by 32 countries, 24 orgs and Golda Meir, representing British Mandate Palestine. She was not permitted to speak or participate. 200 international journalists were at Évian to observe and publish reports.

#Iran is the hot topic these days and I've seen lots of theories floating around on social media about possibility of war with US. This thread will feature my two cents on the situation 👇
Firstly, I don’t think so that war is about to happen. US will increase pressure on Iran, they have already sanctioned them heavily and forced the Oil/gas importers of Iran to back out and Iranian oil exports have fallen significantly within a year.
To know what impact and kind of sanctions US has on Iran currently, go through this article so that we're on same page on how US is pressuring Iran by economic squeezing. aljazeera.com/news/2019/05/s…

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉
