اليهود طردو من الدول العربية على يد الحكومات العلمانية والأقلوية وحدث ذلك باتفاق مع إسرائيل لأنها تحتاجهم وهي قامت على هذا الأساس لجمع يهود العالم في فلسطين.

خلوهم يرجعو هم الذين خرجو ولم نجبرهم على هذا. اذا رجعو اعلمو ستنتهي ما يسمى باسرائيل فانتم يايهود تستخدمكم امريكا لاجل مصلحتها لاغير. انتم تدفعون الجزية مقابل عيشكم بيننا وانتهى ليس عليكم حتى ضرائب فالاسلام حماكم لاكنكم كرهتم العيش بين موحدين وانتم مشركين. الحقيقة مره.

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, Hillel Neuer asked Algeria, Egypt, Iraq & the others: “Where are your Jews?” One year later, he provided the answer: "Mr. President, one year ago in this chamber I asked the Arab states a simple question: 'Where are your Jews?' My question was met with dead silence. Millions of people worldwide watched the video, witnessing for themselves the hypocrisy and double standards that characterizes much of what is said and done here. Today, I have come to provide the answer to my question. Algeria, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, Libya—your Jews fled as refugees after suffering persecution and deadly pogroms like the Farhud of Baghdad in 1941. Fortunately, countries like Israel, the U.S., Canada, France and others opened their doors, offering citizenship and equal rights. These Jewish refugees from Arab lands—whose suffering and losses the UN has never addressed—put their hardship behind them and built great lives for their families. Now let us contrast this with the situation of those descended from Arab refugees who fled the area of British Mandatory Palestine during the invasion of nascent Israel by Arab armies. What is holding them back? The answer is simple. Palestinians are the only population in the world not eligible for services by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency). Instead these descendants are governed by UNRWA, which holds generation after generation trapped in refugee camps, denied integration in the Arab countries they were born in and denied resettlement elsewhere. Some of UNRWA’s donors are waking up to the problem. As Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis recently has put it: 'By supporting UNRWA, we are only keeping the conflict alive.' I thank you, Mr. President."

The Great Silence: 850,000 Jews Ethnically Cleansed from Arab & Muslim Lands While the world talks endlessly about Palestinian “refugees,” it has nearly erased one of the largest forced migrations of the 20th century - this is the story the media and academics almost never tell. At the moment of Israel’s birth in 1948, ancient Jewish communities existed across the Middle East and North Africa — some dating back more than 2,000 years, long before Islam arrived. Iraq: ~150,000 Jews Egypt: ~75,000–80,000 Yemen: ~55,000 Libya: ~38,000 Syria: ~30,000 Morocco: ~265,000 Algeria, Tunisia, and others: tens of thousands more In total, nearly one million Jews lived in these lands. Within years, the vast majority were gone — driven out by pogroms, discriminatory laws, arrests, property confiscation, and open violence. The collapse began even before Israel’s independence. In 1941, the Farhud pogrom in Baghdad saw Arabs murder more than 180 Jews and destroyed hundreds of Jewish home. After 1948, the pressure became unbearable: Jews were stripped of citizenship, jobs, and property in country after country. Synagogues were bombed, businesses boycotted, and ancient communities faced mass arrests and executions. Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Algeria, and Morocco all saw their Jewish populations virtually wiped out. By the 1970s these communities — some of the oldest in the world — had been reduced to a few hundred souls at most. Today the numbers are staggering in their smallness: Iraq: fewer than 5 Jews remain Egypt: fewer than 10 Syria: fewer than 10 Libya: none Yemen: virtually none Meanwhile, the financial cost was enormous. Jews fleeing Iran and the Arab world left behind an estimated $150 billion worth of property and assets (a conservative 2019 figure; some Israeli government analyses put the unadjusted total closer to $250 billion). Homes, businesses, synagogues, hospitals, schools — all confiscated by Arab governments. Not a single dollar has ever been repaid. Not one Arab state has offered compensation or even acknowledgment. Meanwhile, the UN has passed more than 115 resolutions specifically about Palestinian refugees. Not one UN resolution has ever mentioned the Jewish refugees from Arab lands. Israel absorbed ~586,000 of these refugees in the first few years — nearly doubling the young country’s population — with almost no international help. There was no UNRWA-style agency for them. No endless resolutions. No global outcry about a “right of return.” They were simply absorbed, rebuilt their lives, and became full members of Israeli society. The contrast is stark. The Palestinian refugee issue receives constant international attention and funding. The Jewish refugees from Arab lands — who suffered a genuine ethnic cleansing — have been almost entirely erased from the narrative. This was not a natural migration. It was the deliberate destruction of ancient Jewish communities that had lived in these lands for centuries before Islam even existed. Their stories deserve to be remembered.

🔴 MUST WATCH Zionists keep parroting this recycled myth that “Arab countries expelled 800,000 Jews in 1948.” It’s not history, it’s a talking point Israeli politicians cooked up in the 1970s to rewrite the story and blur the Nakba. The whole point of the lie was simple - pretend there was “moral equivalence,” undermine the Palestinian right of return, and claim Israel had already “absorbed its share” of refugees. But historians across the spectrum; Israeli, Palestinian, Western - all say the same thing - the comparison doesn’t hold up. Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria had half a million Jews before 1948. None of these states expelled their Jewish communities. People left for different reasons, e.g. economic hardship, Zionist recruitment, or because their identity and citizenship were tied to France after independence, which is why so many ended up in France, not Israel. Were Iraq and Yemen hostile places in the 1940s? Yes. There were pogroms and discrimination. But “expulsion” is not what happened. Israel literally organized mass airlifts, where Operation Ezra and Nehemiah moved about 120,000 Jews out of Iraq, and Operation Magic Carpet flew about 50,000 out of Yemen. These were not expulsions. The only actual expulsions of Jews in this entire period happened in Egypt during the 1956 Suez Crisis, and those were measured in the thousands, not the hundreds of thousands. Meanwhile Palestinians were being pushed out through military expulsions, village destruction, planned operations like Dalet, and laws making their return impossible. Trying to equate all of that with voluntary migrations, evacuations, and post-colonial reshuffling isn’t “both sides had refugees.” It’s simply Nakba denial.

HOW DARE YOU Greta Thunberg. How DARE you call for ethnically cleansing the Jewish people from our ancestral land?? You know nothing. No history, no reality, no truth. So I have this to say to you. Israel is not a colonialist state – it’s a refugee state which was literally decolonized from Britain. The majority of Israeli Jews are people of color, whose families were ethnically cleansed from other parts of the Middle East. Throughout history, the only indigenous sovereign entities to exist in the land have been Jewish states. Jews originate from the land, derive our religion and our practices from it and despite centuries of exile and displacement have always kept an unbroken presence there. And you Greta Thunberg, are chanting “crush Zionism” on the streets of Sweden. Zionism is the Jewish people exercising our right to self-determination in some parts of our only historic, ancestral and indigenous homeland. Hamas showed us on October 7 what “crushing Zionism” looks like and you want to cheer that on Greta? Greta Thunberg, if I can borrow your famous phrase, “how dare you!” But this is how antisemitism works – Find what is most evil to you, and blame it on the Jews, or today - on the Jewish state. I can understand that younger generations in western societies feel guilty about the evils of colonialism. But Israel’s history is not your history, and whatever guilt you feel, supporting the massacre of Jews in their ancestral land will not wash away the sins of your fathers. When your ancestors were colonizing the world, my ancestors were being slaughtered by Cossacks. We were dreaming – next year in Jerusalem – of building a life raft in our homeland. We fled genocidal violence in Europe. We were ethnically cleansed from Arab countries all over the Middle East. And we built a liberal, democratic Jewish state. That is not a colonial enterprise. Zionism is not a colonial enterprise – Zionism is the decolonization movement of the Jewish people. And to anyone who cannot accept our presence or who slanders Israel as something it is not, we are here to say: “how dare you.”

ناشطة أجنبية ترد على سارة زوجة نتنياهو، وتحرجها أمام العالم، عندما حاولت كسب التعاطف وقالت لوسائل إعلام: "اطفالي يتعرضون لهجمات شخصية: "أخبريني، هل عانى أطفالكِ من سوء التغذية لدرجة أن بطونهم انتفخت وعظامهم تنكسر من الداخل؟ ​هل اضطررتِ لمشاهدة أطفالكِ وهم يُسلَّمون إليكِ أشلاءً في أكياس بلاستيكية؟ ​هل اضطررتِ لمشاهدة أطفالكِ وهم يُعذَّبون أمام عينيكِ؟ ​هل تعيّن عليكِ رؤية أطفالكِ وهم يُطلق عليهم النار أثناء جمعهم للمياه، وتخترق الرصاصات ضلوعهم؟ ​هل شاهد أطفالكِ منازلهم تُداهم في منتصف الليل، وتُحطَّم أبوابها ويُجرّ والداهم تحت تهديد السلاح؟ ​هل تم انتشال أطفالكِ من تحت الأنقاض – هذا إن أُخرجوا أصلاً – أم أنكِ اضطررتِ لجمع بقاياهم عن الأرضية الخرسانية بيديكِ العاريتين؟ ​هل بُترت أي من أطراف أطفالكِ دون تخدير؟ ​لا. يمكنني القول إن الشيء الوحيد الذي يجب على أطفالكِ القلق بشأنه هو معرفة من هو والدهم؛ الرجل الذي سيُذكر اسمه باعتباره الشخص الذي فعل كل هذا... زوجكِ." ​"Tell me, have your children suffered from malnutrition so bad that their stomachs are swollen and their bones are breaking from the inside? ​Have you had to watch your children be delivered to you in pieces in plastic bags? ​Have you had to watch your children be tortured in front of you? ​Have you had to see your children be shot whilst they're collecting water? You know, bullets going through their ribs? ​Have your children watched their homes be raided in the middle of the night, doors smashed in, and their parents dragged out at gunpoint? ​Have your children been pulled from the rubble—if they get pulled out—or did you have to scrape them off the concrete floor with your bare hands? ​Have your children had any of their limbs amputated with no anesthetic? ​No. I would say the only thing your children have to worry about is knowing who their father is—a man whose name is going to be remembered as the one who did all of this... your husband."

Warning: This video may shock anti-Zionists and pro-Palestinians in the West - so please retweet! Watch what happens when a Christian man wears a huge cross on his chest and walks the streets of Israel (The Jewish state). If you expected something bad to happen, you probably don't really know the people of Israel. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East where Jews exist, women are free, minorities are protected and gay people are not persecuted. More than 2 million Arabs live in Israel (including Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin, etc.). They enjoy equal rights, freedom and liberties. On the other hand, in Arab-Muslim countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Gaza and other places in the Arab-Muslim world Jewish communities no longer exist due to brutal persecution and oppression by their Muslim neighbors. Jews were ethnically cleansed from most parts of the Arab-Muslim world. Sadly, Christians and other minorities are facing similar fate, but no one in the media or the U.N. seems to care. ____________________________________ The brilliant Christian man who took part in this video in order put the Palestinian lie to the test, is my brilliant Christian-Lebanese friend (Jonathan Elkhoury- جوناثان الخوري) who fled Lebanon with his family over the brutal Islamic persecution and oppression. He recently became the target of an horrific hate campaign by pro-Palestinians online after he dared to support Israel’s right to exist and even called for peace between Lebanon and Israel. Please show him some love and support, don’t let Hamas and Hezbollah sympathizes to intimidate him into silence. Follow him now here on X (Jonathan Elkhoury- جوناثان الخوري) and on the following platforms as well 👇🙏 Instagram: LinkedIn: Facebook: Here is a link to the original video on YouTube: Remember this video next time you see Hamas’ propaganda against Israel. The Palestinian propaganda machine always uses isolated and uncommon incidents demonize the Jewish state and its people as a whole. It is important to emphasize that racist people exist in every country, these people act out of ignorance and stupidly, they represent no one but themselves! Please follow me and retweet this post 🙏🙏🙏🙏d Don’t let the Palestinian lies and propaganda demonize the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

In 1948, the armies of 5 Arab Muslim states waged a genocidal war against the fledgling state of Israel. At the same time, the Jews were under an arms embargo by the British who were arming the Arabs and training them. Just prior to waging war against us, the Arab League leadership demanded that all Arabs on our land leave the land “temporarily” so that the Arab armies can sweep in and wipe out every last one of us. Now this isn’t conjecture. This is historical FACT. The majority of Arabs fled the land and waited for the Arab armies to wipe us out. But some Arabs chose to stay and fight alongside us against the invading armies. According to two UN reports, the total number of Arabs who fled the land was between 300,000 and 360,000. This number thrown around of 750,000 or a million is completely fictitious and was claimed once in an article in a Russian magazine. Now at the same time as the Arab armies forced the Arabs off the land, they simultaneously forced almost every single Jew out of every Arab land. The number of Jews forced to flee by force and having to leave all their livelihood and belongings totalled between 750,000 and 850,000. The vast majority fled to Israel, while a few fled to the US. Now unlike the Arabs, the Jews forced off their lands didn’t get a dedicated UN agency to protect them. They arrived in Israel and our country stood together and absorbed every last one. There are no Jewish refugees anymore because we took them all in and they became Israelis. The majority of the population of Israel are not European refugees. They’re from the Middle East and North Africa. Yet you never hear anybody talking about them. You don’t hear the UN demanding their right to return. You don’t see protests for the Jews forced out of their lands to be allowed back and reclaim what’s theirs. The world talks about ethnic cleansing and oppression and dehumanization, yet the only people ethnically cleansed and oppressed and dehumanized have been the Jews. In total, the Arab states are responsible for the displacement of over a million people… 300,000 Arabs and 800,000 Jews. But unlike Israel who absorbed the Jewish refugees, the Arab states refuse to absorb theirs. Why? Because for them these people are a weapon to use against Israel. The entire world has been lied to for 77 years. The Arabs aren’t the story. The Arabs aren’t the victims. And until the world stops denying the facts and historical records and evidence, nothing will ever change. 🎥 credit to Pierre Rehov

“Globalize the Intifada!!!” We’ve all heard the chants in the streets of the west. We’ve all seen the banners and the masked protesters and rioters and the keffiyeh-wearing swarms all over western cities. We in Israel know full well what Intifada means. But you in the west seem to spend so much time dismissing it and intentionally changing its meaning in order to not offend the very people bringing it to you. So what does it look like? What does it actually mean? Watch this short video to get a little understanding. Share it and watch it over and over. This isn’t coming to your cities. It’s already there. Look at the terrorists and rioters in this video, and you’ll find no difference between them and what you’ve seen marching in your streets for 21 months, burning your flags, destroying your universities, burning cars and smashing everything up. All your “2A” and bravado are meaningless because the people who are bringing the Intifada to your doorstep have no issue with killing you. They won’t hesitate to detonate a suicide bomb in your cafes, on your buses, in your schools. We learned this the hardest way. We still sought peace and instead we got war. You’ll learn in this video why we have those fences and walls separating us from them. It wasn’t always like that, but now it has to be. And after October 7, they really are globalizing the Intifada. We’re not the target. You are. And while all the idiots on the left and the propagandists on the right tell you how evil the Jews are, you all are distracted from what’s already inside your lands. We’re not your enemy. We never have been. But there is nothing we can do force you to open your eyes. We just pray for all of you that you won’t learn the way we did. Unfortunately, it already seems to be too late.

Ok, enough is enough!! I can’t stand the lies anymore!!! I’m not referring to subjective opinions or analysis. I’m talking about facts, 100% objective, undeniable facts. Does truth even matter anymore? Well, I guess we can’t blame people for their ignorance unless we make sure the facts are accessible to them, so I’ll do my best. Hopefully this post can be useful to others who face the lies on campuses, on the streets, and even in parliaments across the globe. So let’s get to it. Lie by lie. Watch the video. Let’s see, what lies did I miss? I’m sure there are many more but if you have a half a brain in your head, you’ll read this carefully and realize you’re being fed lies and propaganda by a globally recognized terrorist organization. You’re choosing to believe the lies. Stop buying the lies and use your brain. None of what I wrote above is my opinion. These are all hard facts backed up by indisputable evidence. If you don’t accept any of the above facts, there are only really three choices. 1- You’re ignorant and refuse to learn history. 2- Your intelligence level prevents you from understanding facts. 3- You are a good ol’ fashioned Jew hater and have now successfully found a way to disguise your hatred of Jews by making things up to vilify the Jewish people. So which one is it? Stop believing lies. Stop spreading lies. Open your eyes. Believe what Hamas tells you when they say they want all Jews dead and then, they’ll come after all infidels. Stop dismissing and discounting their words. I hope this equipped you with some facts for you to let your Ivy League college friends know that they’re siding with actual genocidal lunatics who will absolutely come after them next. Good will always prevail and that’s why Israel will be here in 50 years while Hamas will join ancient Egypt, the Romans, the Greeks, the Nazis, and anyone else who has tried to annihilate the Jews. They are long gone but the Jews and their homeland is here, strong, united, and 100% set on sending Hamas straight where they belong. Stand with Israel.

*** An Open Letter To The World *** Dear World, I understand that you are upset with us here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry. Indeed, every few years, you seem to become upset by us. Today it’s Lebanon, yesterday it was the brutal repression of the Palestinians, before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad, the Yom Kippur War, and the Sinai Campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph — and who therefore live — upset you most extraordinarily. Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we, the Jewish people, upset you. We upset the German people who elected Hitler and upset the Austrian people who cheered his entry into Vienna. We upset a whole slew of Slavic nations: Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, and Romanians. And we go back a long way in the history of world upset. We upset the Cossacks who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648–1649. We upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us for centuries. We have upset the Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions. And we have upset the arch-enemy of the Church, Martin Luther, who in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit. And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you — in a manner of speaking — and establish a Jewish state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you as resident strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you, and disturb you. What better notion than to leave you and thus to love you and have you love us? And so we decided to come home — home to the same land we were driven out of 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that apparently we also upset. Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please. Having left you in your pilgrimages and inquisitions and crusades and Holocaust — having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state — we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The radical Muslims are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset. Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel: In 1920, in 1921, and 1929 there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish state to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed, and Hebron. Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered in one day in Hebron in 1929. Dear world — why did the Arabs, the Palestinians, massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli “aggression” in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women, and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936 and 1939? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967? And when you, dear world, proposed a UN partition plan in 1947 that would have created a “Palestinian” state alongside a tiny Israel, and the Arabs cried “No!” and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews — was that upset caused by the “aggression” of 1967? And by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of upset then? The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who, when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state, attempted to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of “Itbah al-Yahud!” — “Slaughter the Jew!” — that we hear and see today were seen and heard then by the same people. The same dream: destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not repress them. Dear world — you stood by during the Holocaust, and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres. You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea — and you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction. And since we know that the Arabs dream daily of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world — well, think of how many times in the past you bothered us. In any event, dear world — If you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.

We upset a whole slew of Slavic nations: Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, and Romanians. And we go back a long way in the history of world upset. We upset the Cossacks who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648–1649. We upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us for centuries. We have upset the Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions. And we have upset the arch-enemy of the Church, Martin Luther, who in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit. And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you — in a manner of speaking — and establish a Jewish state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you as resident strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you, and disturb you. What better notion than to leave you and thus to love you and have you love us? And so we decided to come home — home to the same land we were driven out of 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that apparently we also upset. Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please. Having left you in your pilgrimages and inquisitions and crusades and Holocaust — having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state — we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The radical Muslims are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset. Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel: In 1920, in 1921, and 1929 there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish state to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed, and Hebron. Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered in one day in Hebron in 1929. Dear world — why did the Arabs, the Palestinians, massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli “aggression” in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women, and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936 and 1939? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967? And when you, dear world, proposed a UN partition plan in 1947 that would have created a “Palestinian” state alongside a tiny Israel, and the Arabs cried “No!” and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews — was that upset caused by the “aggression” of 1967? And by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of upset then? The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who, when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state, attempted to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of “Itbah al-Yahud!” — “Slaughter the Jew!” — that we hear and see today were seen and heard then by the same people. The same dream: destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not repress them. Dear world — you stood by during the Holocaust, and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres. You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea — and you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction. And since we know that the Arabs dream daily of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world — well, think of how many times in the past you bothered us. In any event, dear world — If you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.
