I’m not comparing Muslim vs European rule. The point is that when world events happen, Jews aren’t safe.

Life wasn’t equal as a Jew in Iraq, and that was one of the best examples one could find. And it shouldn’t matter that Israel was formed - if Jews were safe there they should always be safe.

You missed my point. Jews in Iraq actually refused to go to Israel in the 50s. Which is why the clandestine bombing campaign, detailed in the books (written by Iraqi Jews, published in London) I mentioned before, was carried out by Mossad. To engineer the conditions to get them to move.

That's why I laid the blame on Zionisms door.

And in Iran, where Mossad did NOT get to strut their stuff, the rather large Jewish community exists to this day.

Anyway, enough said. I've made this point as clearly and carefully as I could - and yet still got bizarre accusations of somehow being a Holocaust denier (not by you, but another yahoo who was dealt with).

My family actually waited till 1971 to leave. By then Sadam was in power.

It doesn’t matter that much. The Muslim world these days is deeply antisemitic.
