Like after creation of Israel, Arabs motivated (often violently) Jews to leave their homelands and move to safe Israel, thus proving zionist ideas to be right. And then wonder what people support these zionist ideas now? Any ideas? :-)

>Like after creation of Israel

So we agree that the first move in this conflict was a 20th century European nationalist group setting up a new state by force in the middle of an inhabited nation? With the blessing of the colonial power in charge.

Doesn't defend what happened to Jewish people in Egypt and Lebanon, but certainly puts some context around it.

As for the depopulation of Jews from Yemen and Iraq, that was Israeli policy and they managed it by themselves.

For generations. What a smartasses.
