Thank you. I'm a Jew who's family was constantly attacked. One of them is that no true Arab would support Jews. Here we are.

Thank you for that interlude of truth. In fact, if any Jewish community should have thrived as minorities in a tolerant and inclusive Arab world, it would have been the Iraqi Jewish community, which was the most advanced and prosperous of all the Middle Eastern Jewish communities. After the Farhud riots in 1941, the condition of the community declined until it was effectively driven out in 1950-51 to Israel. This expulsion was a boon to the new State of Israel, in which Iraqi Jews have prospered and contributed to the success of the state.
