Do Zionist extremists see the destruction of Baghdad as revenge for their Babylonian captivity?

Question

Schroedinger : VERY interesting. My proposition is by no means bizarre, unless you mean unusually perceptive.

The Jewish collective memory encompasses the captivity and now you tell me about their big reason to resent Saddam Hussein. I had thought they pushed Bush into the invasion because Saddam sent rockets into Israel

I see that they have every reason to rejoice - not just in revenge for the rockets, but the pogroms there. And of course Israel is the one and only state which benefits from destabilisation of the M.E.

Nothing bizarre about anything I've said.

Answer 2

I very much doubt it. What a bizarre question.

Baghdad was a great centre of Jewish culture - indeed, one of the greatest Jewish cities in the world - for hundreds of years under Islamic rule. It was only when The Baath Party came to power that most Iraqi Jews were murdered or expelled. Zionists have no reason to love Saddam, but their reasons have nothing to do with the Babylonian exile.
