Arab Jews

"Jews who migrated to Israel left property everywhere from North Africa to the Persian Gulf. Some research estimates that about $1 billion worth of personal and community assets were left behind by 850,000 Jews who forfeited all when they left their old countries for the new one. After Israel's establishment, the Jews' standing in many countries deteriorated and the choice for most was clear: offer or not, they were in no place to refuse." I am for the return and/or compensation of all Jews who either left or were made to leave Arab lands. Furthermore, those who were responsible for their mistreatment (Arab regimes AND Israel through its terrorist intelligence service which terrorized Arabs Jews, like in Iraq in Operation Babylon) should be held accountable.
