  1. not as many as European jews


  2. The estimated amount of ethnically cleansed from the Muslim countries after having everything they owned stolen from them is around 800,000.  Their descendants make up an estimated 3 million of Israels 7 million citizens, and just over half the Israeli Jewish population.  (yep- the anti-Semites like to claim Israel is a European colony- but the majority of its citizens are from the area - either Israel or the surrounding Arab countries they were expelled- showing them for the liars they are.)

  3. Don't you mean how many were kicked out of the Muslim and Arab states?

    Bar Iran every single Arab country expelled its Jewish community, even in cases where the Jews had lived there for thousands of years. There was an equal number of Jewish refugees as there were Palestinian Arab refugees - but nobody ever mentions it.

    The Jewish refugees were absorbed by Israel, a tiny country.

    The Palestinian Arab refugees were stuck in camps by Jordan and Egypt, and left there to rot.

  4. Unlike the Palestinian Arabs, the narrative of Jewish Arabs  is largely ignored by the world  -- that of some 900,000 Jewish refugees from Arab countries dispossessed by Arab governments -- is an inconvenience for those who seek to blame Israel for all the problems in the Middle East.

    There once was a vibrant presence of nearly one million Jews residing in ten Arab countries. Jewish Middle Eastern Jewish culture existed long before the Arab world dominated and rewrote the history of the Middle East. Today, however, fewer than 12,000 Jews remain in these lands -- none in Iraq.

  5. About 850,000 people from 1948 - 1952. Just see this link for further reading.

  6. They came from Iraq , Algeria , Bahrain , Egypt , Lebanon , Libya , Morroco , Syria , Tunisia  &  The Yemen.

         856,000 left their homes in 1948 until 1970 according to official statistics. 680,000 settled in Palestine. Their descendants , & those of Iranian & Turkish Jews now number 3.06 million of Palestines 5.4 - 5.8 million Jews .

  7. At Israel’s 60th Independence Day, the country’s population stands at 7,282,000, according to figures released by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).  Some 5,499,000 of the population (75.5 percent) are Jews, 1,461,000 (20.1%) are Arabs and the remaining 322,000 (4.4%) are immigrants and their offspring who are not registered as Jews by the Interior Ministry.

    The number of Jews fleeing Arab countries for Israel in the years following Israel's independence was roughly equal to the number of Arabs leaving Palestine.  Many Jews were allowed to take little more than the shirts on their backs.  These refugees had no desire to be repatriated.  Little is heard about them because they did not remain refugees for long.  Of the 820,000 Jewish refugees, 586,000 were resettled in Israel at great expense, and without any offer of compensation from the Arab governments who confiscated their possessions.  Israel has consequently maintained that any agreement to compensate the Palestinian refugees must also include Arab compensation for Jewish refugees.  To this day, the Arab states have refused to pay any compensation to the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were forced to abandon their property before fleeing those countries.

    The contrast between the reception of Jewish refugees in Israel with the reception of Palestinian refugees in Arab countries is even more stark when one considers the difference in cultural and geographic dislocation experienced by the two groups.  Most Jewish refugees traveled hundreds and some traveled thousands of miles to a tiny country whose inhabitants spoke a different language.  Most Arab refugees never left Palestine at all; they traveled a few miles to the other side of the truce line, remaining inside the vast Arab nation that they were part of linguistically, culturally and ethnically.
