Nakba denialism. I'll end my interaction here, thank you very much.

Yeah, it's like writing, 'after World War 2, six million Jews no longer lived in Europe' without mentioning what happened to them.

Yeah..like how Jews were ethnically cleansed from their islamic/arab territories. Israel still have 2 million Arabs (majority Muslim) in its dominion (apart from Gaza or westbank ) but no jew in any of the arab/islamic states.

This notion that Israel committee genocide while it's the actual Jews who were ethnically cleansed from nearby countries is how propoganda supposed to work and it worked on the gullibles.

Atleast if the surrounding arab/islamic countries are an example of human rights, religious freedom, secular values imbibed as part of modern democracy, we could have a moral equivalency.

Actually, according to Wikipedia (quoting the jewish Virtual Library), 8300 Jews lived in Iran in 2019 . 2000-2500 Jews live in Morrocco, there are 110 synagogues and there is a jewish museum.

Coming to this late and assuming this is sarcasm, but regardless, adding color for posterity.

Jewish population pre-Iranian revolution (1979) >100,000. Jewish population in Iran today (2019) < 1,000. Trend in Iraq is worse. Morocco >250,000 (1950); < 5,000 today. No Jewish populations of note on the Arabian peninsula despite long histories in each of these countries. I think the term is ethnic cleansing.

Morocco is probably the exception. They are egalitarian and friendly to Jews on a personal level. Not sure about the Government.
