Do you remember reading about the hundreds of thousands of Jews that had their assets seized by Muslim nations and were then kicked out of their homes and told "get out and go to Israel!" (sarcasm)
It's a fact. This all happened around the time that Israel declared its nationhood. Some Jews had been living in these nations since the Romans placed them there centuries earlier!
Of course the media loves to talk about the "poor Palestinians" who have been mistreated by the Jews and are sill living as refugees following the wars of survival that Israel has fought, but where are the stories about Muslims mistreating and expelling their Jewish citizens?
(crickets chirping)
Today we are reading that Israel has prepared a $250 billion lawsuit against the Muslim nations that expelled them and stole all their bank accounts, homes and businesses some 70 years ago.
After 18 months of secret research with the help of an international accountancy firm, Israel is preparing to officially demand compensation for assets abandoned by Jews who were forced to flee eight Arab countries after the establishment of the Jewish nation, to the tune of $250 billion. According to a report on Israel’s Hadashot TV news, the demands are being finalized for the first two of eight countries. Israel is preparing to sue Tunisia for $35 billion in lost assets and Libya for $15 billion.
In total, Israel will demand $250 billion from Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Yemen and Iran.
Justice for Jews from Arab Countries (JJAC) has estimated that approximately 856,000 Jews fled from 10 Arab countries (including Algeria and Lebanon) as violent riots swept the region following the establishment of the State of Israel.
“The time has come to correct the historic injustice of the pogroms against Jews in seven Arab countries and Iran, and to restore to hundreds of thousands of Jews who lost their property what is rightfully theirs,” said Israeli Minister for Social Equality Gila Gamliel, who is coordinating the compensation suits.
We can only hope that this lawsuit gets traction and that it exposes the MASSIVE hypocrisy that the Left currently has regarding Israel.
