The Farhoud Pogrom remembered – June 1-2, 1941
Peloni: I am struck by the glaring hypocrisy surrounding the claim that the Pals of Gaza can not be forced from their homes based upon the principles surrounding the foundation of the United Nations after WWII, all the while ignoring the massive suffering and economic theft which took placed all across Arabia during the time of the founding of that same United Nations. The simple reality is that the Pals are trapped in their current environment specifically because of the threat which they pose to the Jewish State. Indeed, this was why the UN created UNRWA, simply so that they could weaponize the Pals as a tool of manipulation and destruction against Israel.

A vast Jewish Diaspora underwent a process of communal annihilation prior to Israel’s establishment and continued during Israel’s formative years, yet we Israelis rarely talk about or commemorate these historic events. On the eve of the establishment of the State of Israel, at least 800,000 Jews lived in Arab countries. Today, those ancient Jewish Diaspora numbers only a few thousand at best. These numbers alone should give us pause: Emigration of more than 99 percent of the Jewish population in such a short time is unparalleled in modern Jewish history. Even the Jewish communities of Europe, which experienced the most extreme suffering of anti-Semitic violence, did not vanish entirely, or so abruptly. The story of the Jews from Arab lands is a saga that extends over hundreds of years and over a vast geographic region.
