In just 70 years, over a million Jewish families were expelled from Arab-Muslim Countries
In
just 70 years, over a million Jewish families, whose communities stretch back
up to 3,100 years, since they were forced out of their original homeland
ISRAEL, have been 'ethnically cleansed' from over 11 Arab-Muslim countries.
These Jewish refugees outnumber the Arab-Palestinian refugees over two to one,
but their narrative has all but been intentionally ignored. Unlike the Arab-Palestinian
refugees, they fled not war, but systematic persecution, confiscation of
assets, pogroms, rape and murder. Seen in this light, Israel, where over 51
percent of the Jewish population descend from these Jewish refugees from Arab-Muslim
countries and are now full citizens, is the bona fide and legitimate expression
of the self-determination of an oppressed indigenous, Middle Eastern Jewish people.
Equitable Justice for
the million Jewish refugees from Arab-Muslim countries and their current
struggle for recognition and restitution for assets, businesses, homes,
community assets and property including over 120,000 sq. km. of real estate
property. Awareness of the injustice done to these Jews from Arab-Muslim
countries can only advance the cause of peace and reconciliation, thus, bring
about mutual coexistence between Arabs and Jews. Which will bring about an
economic prosperity beyond your wildest dreams.Jews in Israel – 1860-1919

In 1260, the Mamluk sultan Baybars had launched a series of attacks on castles in the area, including on Saphet. In 1266 he wiped out the Christian Templar population and turned it into a Muslim town called Safed or Safat.
ReplyDeleteSamuel ben Samson who visited the town in the 13th-century mentions the existence of a Jewish community of at least fifty there.
During the late Mamluk period from 1525-6 the population of Safed consisted of 633 Muslim families, 40 Muslim bachelors, 26 Muslim religious persons, 9 Muslim disabled, 232 Jewish families, and 60 Jundi families.
Under the Ottomans, Safed was the capital of the sanjak of Safed, which encompassed much of the Galilee and extended to the Mediterranean coast. This sanjak was part of the Eyalet of Damascus until 1660, when it was united with the sanjak of Sidon into a separate eyalet, of which it was briefly the capital.
Finally, from the mid-19th century it was part of the vilayet of Sidon.
A Hebrew printing press was established in Safed in 1577 by Eliezer Ashkenazi and his son, Isaac of Prague was the first press in the whole of the Ottoman Empire. In 1584, there were 32 synagogues registered in the town.
After the expulsion of all the Jews from Spain in 1492, many prominent rabbis found their way to Safed, among them the Kabbalists Isaac Luria and Moshe Kordovero; Joseph Caro, the author of the Shulchan Aruch and Shlomo Halevi Alkabetz, composer of the Sabbath hymn "Lecha Dodi". Since that time, the city has remained a center of Kabbalah, also known as Jewish mysticism.
The influx of Sephardi Jews—reaching its peak under the rule of Sultans Suleiman I and Selim II —made Safed a global center for Jewish learning and a regional center for trade throughout 15th and 16th centuries.
The Kurdish quarter was established in the Middle Ages and continued through to the 19th century.
The transition from Egyptian to Ottoman-Turkish rule in 1517 saw the Jews of Safed subjected to a violent pogrom committed by the sidelined local sheikhs to reassert their control after being removed from power by the incoming Turks.
Over the course of the 17th century, Jewish settlements of Galilee had declined economically and demographically, with Safed being no exception. In around 1625, Quaresmius spoke of the town being inhabited "chiefly by Hebrews, who had their synagogues and schools, and for whose sustenance contributions were made by the Jews in other parts of the world."
In 1628, the city fell to the Druze and five years later was retaken by Ottomans. In 1660, the Druze destroyed Safed and Tiberias, with only a few of the former Jewish residents returning to Safed by 1662. As nearby Tiberias remained desolate for several decades, Safed gained the key position among Galilean Jewish communities.
An outbreak of plague decimated the population in 1742 and the Near East earthquake of 1759 left the city in ruins, killing 200 town residents.
An influx Russian Jews in 1776 and 1781, and of Lithuanian Jews of the Perushim in 1809 and 1810, reinvigorated the community.
In 1812, another plague killed 80% of the Jewish population, and, in 1819, the remaining Jewish residents were held for ransom by Abdullah Pasha, the governor of Acre.
During the period of Egyptian domination, the city experienced a severe decline, with the Jewish community hit particularly hard. In the 1834 Safed Great Plunder, much of the Jewish quarter was destroyed by rebel Arabs, who plundered the city for many weeks.
In 1837 there were around 4,000 Jews in Safed. The Galilee earthquake of 1837 was particularly catastrophic for the Jewish population, as the Jewish quarter was located on the hillside. About half their number perished, resulting in around 2,000 deaths.
In 1838, the Druze rebels robbed the city over the course of three days, killing many among the Jews. In 1847, plague struck Safed again.
The Jewish population increased in the last half of the 19th century by immigration from Persia, Morocco, and Algeria. Moses Montefiore visited Safed seven times and financed rebuilding of much of the town.
Nowadays, Safed [a.k.a. Zefat] is a city in the Northern District of Israel. Located at an elevation of 900 meters (2,953 ft), Safed is the highest city in the Galilee and in Israel. Due to its scenic views, as well as having become a center of artistry and Kabbalah, Safed is a popular holiday resort frequented by Israelis and foreign visitors.
ReplyDeleteThe following are some highlighted dates in timeline of violence by Islam (it includes: Muhammad's followers in Islam's early days acting for his honor/sake, Muslims using Islamic themes, Quranic text or/and ideas, mobilized forced conversions, "religious cleansing" campaigns to cleanse the area of non-Muslims, attacks by Islamic religious authorities often explained with declaration of clear 'Islamic' goals, violence with a clear subjugation of Dhimmitude / infidels status, [regarding the massacres in early Islam in Spain, during frictions, Christians and Jews were dehumanized and referred to as apes and pigs, a Quranic inspired idea.[96]] violence triggered by Islamic clerics preaching in mosques, battles described as Jihad or holy war and emerging of radical-Islamic movements- which take its roots from Muhammad/Quran - inspiring source for violence) from its early days till post WW2, 622-1946.

Though they offered to surrender, Muhammad felt the need to make an example of them. "The adult males were condemned to death, and the women and children to slavery. Between 600 and 900 males were beheaded ."[102] Three large Jewish tribes dwelled in Medina in Muhammad's time: the Banu Nadir, Banu Kainuka, and Banu Qurayza. When war broke out between Muhammad's new supporters and the Meccans, the Jewish clans of Medina remained neutral and were at first unharmed. Nevertheless after the 627 failed Meccan siege of Medina, Muhammad accused the Jews of siding with the Meccans and ordered an attack on them. The reference to this episode in Islamic text is in Sura 33 of the Qur'an, known as “The Clans.”[108] (The Quran tells of three Jewish tribes conquered by Mohammed near Medina, "Two were permitted to choose conversion or exile, but the third was allowed only conversion or death."[109]).
Cordoba revolt - 818
ReplyDeleteA revolt in Muslim Spain by Christians, which was put down by massacres for three days. Many of the insurgents were crucified, as prescribed in the Koran (5:33): "The revolt in Cordova of 818 was crushed by three days of massacres and pillage."[118]
Christians beheaded in Cordoba, Spain Between 850 and 859, accused of "blasphemy against Islam."[119]
What became known among Christians: The Martyrs of Cordoba[120] It included women like: the Spaniards Flora and Mary, that were beheaded in Cordoba in 851. [121]
Between 1010-1013 Anti-Jewish violence in Muslim Spain.
In the 1011 massacre in Cordoba Andalusia, Muslim Spain, an estimate of about two thousand Jews perished.[118][122][123]
The era between 1010-1013 was a chaotic internecine Muslim struggle at the culmination of Umayyad rule. Suleiman, the Berber Muslim chieftain attacked Cordoba Jews, terrorizing them (among the victims was a famous Samuel ibn Naghrela), looting their storehouses. Hundreds were killed, some estimate the toll to have been in the thousands.[98]
Pogrom in Fez, Morocco, 1033.
Between five and six thousand Jews lost their lives in the hands of Muslims.[118][122] The women were dragged off into slavery.[124]According to "Islam at war" more than 6,000 Jews died.[125]
Granada massacre of Jews by Muslims, Andalusia Spain - December, 1066.
The 1066 Granada massacre took place on 30 December 1066 (9 Tevet 4827),[126] when a Muslim mob stormed the royal palace in Granada, crucified Jewish vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela and massacred most of the Jewish population of the city. "More than 1,500 Jewish families, numbering 4,000 persons, fell in one day."
According to historian Bernard Lewis, the massacre - in Muslim narrative - is "usually ascribed to a reaction among the Muslim population against a powerful and ostentatious Jewish vizier." Muslims' sentiments of resentments of refusal of Jews to be subjugated by Muslims as Dhimmis can be seen in the following:
Particularly instructive in this respect is an ancient Anti-Semitic poem of Abu Ishaq, written in Granada in 1066. This poem, which is said to be instrumental in provoking the anti-Jewish outbreak of that year, contains these specific lines: "Do not consider it a breach of faith to kill them, the breach of faith would be to let them carry on. They have violated our covenant with them, so how can you be held guilty against the violator? - How can they have any pact when we are obscure and they are prominent? - Now we are humble, beside them, as if we were wrong and they were right!"[127]
It has been confirmed by a contemporary chronicle that the massacre followed what Muslims saw as "breach in the system of Dhimmitude." Thus justifying a jihad against them.[98]
Historian Walter Laqueur characterizes this episode as a pogrom: "Jews could not as a rule attain public office (as usual there were exceptions), and there were occasional pogroms, such as in Granada in 1066."[128] Some 4000 Jews were massacred in the 1066 Granada pogrom, inspired in part by an anti-Jewish ode containing a line (based on a Quranic idea of referring to infidels as apes and pigs[129]), "Many a pious Muslim is in awe of the vilest infidel ape," referring to the Jewish communal leader, the vizier Joseph b. Samuel Naghrela. (In Spain, during periods of friction between the various religious communities, the Muslims called the Jews "apes" and the Christians "pigs and dogs." Research revealed that "viewing Jews as the 'descendants of apes and pigs' is grounded in the most important Islamic religious sources." [96]) Andrew Bostom claims that "More Jews were killed in this one pogrom than in the Crusaders."[130]
The Almohads of Spain and North Africa between the middle of the 12th century and the 14th century.
ReplyDeleteThe Almohads arose in the Atlas mountains and declared a Jihad on the moderate Almoravides in order to restore the original Islamic values, conquering most of Morocco, then invading (again) Spain in 1150 to combat Christians. The fanatical warriors alienated Muslims and Jews alike, causing the Arab-Jewish cooperation and the previous usual tolerance in Andalucia came to an end.[131]
Historian writes that "The jihad depredations of the Almohads (1130-1232) wreaked enormous destruction on both the Jewish and Christian populations in Spain and North Africa." The massacres and forced conversions effected the Jewish communities of Spain: Seville, Cordova, Jaen, Almeria, and of North Africa: including Sijilmasa and Dar'a, Marrakesh, Fez, Tlemcen, Ceuta, and Meknes. [98]
When the liberal Almoravids came to power in 1062, conditions for Jews improved, but when the Almohades took over in the middle of the 12th century Jews were forced to embrace Islam or emigrate. It was during that time that Jews were forced to wear a particular costume a precursor of the Jewish badge. After the ouster of the Almohades in the 14th century the situation of Jews stabilized.[124]
It was during the reign of Abu Ya'Qub Yusuf (1165–84) when the upsurge in Almohad fanaticism in Fez came about, it brought a new wave of forced conversions. It was either convert or die.[132] "Thousands of Jews in Morocco had been forced to convert at the height of the Almohade persecutions."[133]
The Assassins - 1124
ReplyDeleteThe Fadayeen were the ardent followers of Hasan-i Sabbah (d. 1124), a leader of Ismail Shia in Iran, Iraq, and in Syria. Known to the west as the Assassins.[134] The Assassins are regarded as "the first group to make systematic use of murder as a political weapon." Established in Iran and Syria in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, they used assassination and terrorism with the aim of overthrowing Sunni Islam's order and establishing their own.[135]
The most open and clear religious Fadayeen in the modern period were the Fedaiyan-i Islam. Through assassinations of secular officials they aimed at changing the regime in Iran towards Islamisation and introduce Sharia law.[134]
In the 1890s the Shiite leadership in Iran became very involved in violence, terrorism via Fedayeen-i Islam. The "self-sacrifice" or devotees of Islam under Shi'ite theologian, they've targeted British and Russian officials for assassination.[136]
Ayatollah Khomeini, leader of the Shiites in Iran was from the same area as the earlier "assassins". The Hur Brotherhood was another group of Assassins that emerged from a combination of religion and politics in the 1890s, modern Fadayeen, like the Assassins, find strength in the promise of a reward in "paradise."[137]
The Ayatollah was very involved with the Fadayeen Islam who had a "network of holy killers engaged in repeated attempts at political assassinations." In 1944 he published: Kashf al-Asrar ("the Revealing of Secrets"), served as a guidance for the violent Fadayeen.[138] Indeed, the militant group covered for the Ayatollah Khomeini until he became in power.[134]
On both dates 1165 and 1678, forced conversions of Jews were carried out in Yemen, Jews were given the choice, convert or die.[139]
When al-Hadi offered the Jews the choice between the sword and conversion to Islam: "Many Jews chose death and the survival of the community."[140]
The Godfather of Islamic Fundamentalism - 1263 - 1328
Ibn Taymiyyah, or Taq ad-Din Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, is regarded as the Godfather of Islamic Fundamentalism. He lived from 1263 to 1328. His name by birth was Ahmad ibn Abdul-Halim ibn Abdas-Salaam. [141]
Ibn Taymiyya, dubbed 'the spiritual father of the Islamic revolution' preached that "Jihad should be waged against those who do not follow the teaching of Islam." He issued a Jihadi fatwa against the Mongols that they are not Muslim enough though they observed the Ramadan, that they're "takfir" (ex-communicated), adding that the Quran and Sunna state that those who forsake the law of Islam should be fought (without specifying what part of Sharia they violated).[142]
According to B. Lewis, the Mongol so-called converts were not considered "true Muslims," by the Islamist "since they continued to practice and impose the laws of Jenghis Khan. "Those who follow such laws are infidels, said the Islamist jurist and that they "should be combated until they comply with the laws of Allah." He explains that "Such a combat was therefore a jihad, with all that entailed."[143]
Mohammed Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792), father of Wahhabism is said to be "influenced by the fundamentalist thinker, Ibn Taymiyya."[144]
The Bahmani sultans and the genocide on Indians - 1347-1480.
The Bahmani Sultans declared Jihad against the infidels.[145]
Every new invader of India made (often literally) his hills of Hindu skulls. The Bahmani sultans (1347–1480) in central India made it a rule to kill 100,000 Hindus (kaffir - non-believers) every year. In 1399, Teimur killed 100,000 captives in a single day. [146][147] Historian asserts that "These wars were fought in the true spirit of Jihad — the total annihilation or conversion of the non-Muslims."[148][149]
The Mongol conqueror Timur the Lame, sometimes called Tamerlane,[150] known for his ruthlessness, and his 'Islamic bigotry,' carried out "blitzkrieg campaigns at the end of the fourteenth century." [151] He earned a reputation of torturing the population which resisted his conquering wars (like using thousands alive as "bricks" in walls, outrageous torture of inhabitants like crushing in presses, scorching in flames and revive the victims when near death, in order to repeat it). Timur declared a Jihad on New Delhi in 1398.[152]
ReplyDeleteAs a "holy war" which he declared, he massacred many Hindus, not in context with battles.[153]
Fez Massacre - 1465 Morocco.
In 1465, Arab mobs in Fez slaughtered thousands of Jews, leaving only 11 alive, for 'Islamic honor,' after a Jewish deputy vizier treated a Muslim woman in "an offensive manner." (Jews weren't even supposed to surpass a Dhimmitudestatus, behold, if "the dhimma had been violated",[98] much less holding office,[128]) The killings touched off a wave of similar massacres throughout Morocco. [103] some six thousand Jews were murdered in 1033." and massacres look place again in 1276 and 1465.[122]
The advent of the Safavid kings Iran 1501.
In Persia 1501, Shah Esmail founded the Safavid Dynasty. He was a Shia and waged a jihad against Sunni Islam over the next decade. He eventually conquered all of Persia.[154]
The Shiite Safavids made Shiite Islam the official religion of Iran. They created a "a rigid religious hierarchy with unlimited power and influence in every sphere of life." Minorities: Christians, Zoroastrians and Jews suffered harsh measures including strict segregation, the era brought persecutions, massacres and forced conversions to Islam. "Jews were forced to wear both a yellow badge and a headgear."[155]
Islamists' Massacre of 30,000 Indians - after battle for Chitod on 24 February 1568.
It was part of Mogul Empire's atrocities on Indians, by the order of Islamic Akbar.[156][157][158][159][160][161]Akbar -like all Mughal rulers- had the holy Muslim title of "Ghazi" (slayer of Kaffir - infidel).[162] Described as a 'holy war.'[163]
Barbary pirates - July 1625 and the 1700s.
The height of North African Arab Muslim pirates' violence against Christians, mainly British, Barbary pirates-called- Britain's 200-year jihad. There are tales of unspeakable barbarism including the Sultan, Moulay Ismail, who tortured and butchered the captives at whim. It involved also forced conversion of the British Christians into Islam. The "Sally Rovers" were called 'al-ghuzat'-- the term once used for the soldiers who fought with Muhammad—and were hailed as religious warriors engaged in a holy war against the infidel Christians who were pressurized to convert to Islam under threat of hideous punishment, writes historian Giles Milton.[164][165][166] [167] [168]
In negotiating a peace treaty and protect the United States from the threat of Barbary piracy, the future United States presidents: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams questioned the Tripolitan ambassador to Britain Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja as to "why his government was so hostile to the new American republic even though America had done nothing to provoke any such animosity." Ambassador Adja answered them, as they reported to the Continental Congress,
"that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."[169]
The San'a expulsion of Jews of Yemen in the wake of Shiites' radical-Islam - 1679-1680. Religious cleansing.
ReplyDeleteIn that year, the country returned to the Shi'ite rule of the Zaydi imams, and the legitimacy of Jewish presence in Yemen came under an attack which culminated in 1680 with the expulsion of the Jews from San'a and central Yemen.[170]
The 1660 massacre of Jews in Safed, Israel-Palestine.
At that oppressive era, to buy off the Muslim attackers, Jews had to borrow money from rich Muslims at compound interest, under threats of further attacks if they failed to repay." (see the Islamic concept of: Dhimmitude) When the Jewish community of its holy city of Safed was "massacred in 1660," and the town "destroyed by Arabs," only one Jew managed to escape. [171][172][173]
The Ikhwan waged a jihad against other Muslims in Arabia, including Sharif Hussein of Mecca, who established the Hashemite dynasty that ruled first in Arabia and then in Syria, Iraq and Transjordan. As many as 400,000 Arabs were killed or wounded in these campaigns.[175]
ReplyDelete"The Butcher" — el Djezzar - 1783-1801.
Historian J. Peters:
The year 1783 brought the rise of an Albanian-born Mamluk "Arab," nicknamed "The Butcher" — el Djezzar — whose sadistic, wanton exploits became legend... The Christians in their holy town of Nazareth were also forced through maltreatment into fleeing. Even as late as 1801 Djezzar sent troops to destroy the standing crops in the environs of Nazareth. "Ramleh, however, bore the brunt of the Muslim wrath."[172]
The term "butcher" (in Arabic el Djezzar) was given to him by Arabs, as a result of the "ferocity with which he proceeded to subdue the Bedouins of the Delta."[176]
The Jews of Safed were attacked under the "sadistic Albanian-born Muslim" reign, as he's called.[177]
In an exchange with the "Butcher," the following text was sent by N. Bonaparte "that Islam was to be protected."[178][179]
Religious cleansing: In their days of ascendancy the Muslims in the Nablus of 1783 prohibited Christians from settling. "In 1801 those Christians not driven out of Ramallah and Nazareth were murdered."[171]
Tetouan Pogrom, Morocco 1790.
"Diaspora Research Institute" described the event:
As the new ruler (Mawlay Yazid) entered the city of Tetouan, he commanded that all the Jews should be gathered and imprisoned in a house, meanwhile permitting the Moors to rob all their homes and cellars, which they obeyed with their own particular ferocity. Thus, they stripped all the Jews and their wives of all the clothes which they had on their body with the greatest violence, so that these unfortunates not only had to watch all their belongings being stolen, but also had to bear the greatest injury to their honor... But on top of this, their bestiality showed itself to such an extent that they stripped the Jewesses of their clothes, forthwith satisfied their desires with them, and then threw them naked into the streets. [180][181]
This [Sultan Mawla] Yazid "had rabbis hung by their feet until they died, another burned alive for refusing to convert to Islam... had Jews crucified by nailing them to the doors of their houses... Jews were converted by force." [182]
Jihad in Africa (Mali) - 1810-18.
Jihad was a religious war fought from 1810 to 1818 in what is now the Mopti Region of Mali.[183] In either 1810 or 1818 (the exact date is uncertain), an Islamic fighter led a jihad against the Muslim chiefs in Masina, later the jihad expanded to include the Bambara. Seku Ahmadu established an austere Muslim empire ruled from the newly built city. [184] He led the "second major jihad of the 19th century" beginning in 1818. "His jihad brought about an Islam theocracy as a successor to the non-Islamic empire of Segou that had been established by the Bambara." [185]
The ruler launched from 1853 a series of expeditions against pagans, in Bambara in particular.[186] The 1818 "Fulani" Empire of Massina fell to a more militant movement. [187]
The Suleika affair - 1834.
A Jewish woman from Tangier, Morocco refused to convert and marry a high-ranking official, and was executed in Fez.[188][189]
A writer has put it:
Suleika, a 17-year-old girl with her entire life in front of her, offered everything under the sun if she would convert to Islam but who was beheaded on another sunny day in Morocco because she couldn't change what she was...[190]
The martyrdom of the beautiful Suleika, who, despite torture, refused to convert to Islam left a strong impression. A song was written in her memory, it was "sung by Jewish girls in Morocco to a sad, touching melody."[191]
1834-5 Safed and Hebron violence
ReplyDelete1) The Safed plunder. 2) The massacre in Hebron, pillaging, looting, killing/rapes, in Jerusalem.
The pogrom - massacre, "plunder," by Arab-Muslims on Jews in Safed. It went on for 33 days. [192] [193] [194] It was incited by a highly religious cleric, a self proclaimed Islamic "prophet" Muhammad Damoor, who envisioned the massacre to which he agitated the "believers" to.[180][195]
The attacks in Hebron, Jerusalem, that year: In 1834, Egyptian soldiers massacred Jews in Hebron on the way of putting down a Muslim rebellion, local Muslims go on rampage, pillaging, rape, killing, looting in Jerusalem at that same era.[171][196][197]
According to professor M. Ma'oz, considered of great authority on that period, "a noticeable number of Christians and Jews, particularly children, were forced to adopt Islam." Yet, that being said, "even the converts were persecuted as Jews."
[198]
Forced conversions of Jews in Meshed Iran and massacre - 1838-1839.
There was a Massacre of Meshed Jews and forced conversions (to Islam) of the survivors.[180][127] A mob was incited to attack Jews, and slaughtered almost 40 of them. The rest were forced to convert.[199]
As a result, the entire community of Meshed was forcibly converted to Islam. [200][201]
However, these Persian Jews continued to practice Judaism privately[202] in their homes. They, their descendants were called Jugutis. [203]
Under Muhammad Shah. Oppression and persecution followed the forced conversions.[204]
Damascus Blood Libel - 1840.
The Damascus affair[205][206] It brought with it riots and violence against Jews.[207] It was the beginning of a spiral of blood libels in many cities in Syria followed by outbreaks in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and (other) Arab countries of the Middle East.[208]
In his book Blood libel: the Damascus affair of 1840 author R. Florence describes the chain of blood libels that followed all over the Islamic world, including in western Iranian city of Hamadan where Jews were killed, burned alive, "many escaped the violence only by converting to Islam."[209]
A Jihad in Sudan and in Egypt - 1880.
ReplyDeleteWhat is called the (major) "First Jihad", in 1880, Muslim fighter raised the banner of holy war, and thousands of warriors flocked. "The Mahdi's army crushed forces dispatched from British (controlled) Egypt." History of Mahdist Sudan [222][223]
Hamidian massacres of Armenians by the Ottoman empire - 1894-1896.
The Hamidian Massacres in 1894-1896 were the first near-genocidal series of atrocities committed against the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire.[224][225] Estimates of those killed range widely, anywhere between 100,000 and 30,000, with thousands more maimed or rendered homeless.[226]
Scholars cite an exemplary event in 1896 as part of Turks' overall jihad on Christians in that era: "The leader of the mob cried: 'Believe in Muhammad and deny your religion.' No one answered… The leader gave the order to massacre..."[227] Concluding that "This 1894-1896 Jihad against Christians in Eastern Turkey claimed 250,000 lives. Many Armenian women were forced into harems, and many women and children were sold as slaves. Rape, considered one of the rights of "booty" in Muslim Jihad."[228]
Settat and Taza pogrom, Morocco - 1903/1907.
Prior to the 1830 French occupation of Morocco, thousands of inoffensive Jews were brutally attacked in different parts of Morocco by hostile tribesmen and uncontrolled soldiery. As Jews sought refuge by the French Christians it caused even more massacres: in Settat and Taza 1903 and in 1907.[229][230][231]
The following text was written around that time: "We live among savages who have already tried to satisfy their ferocious hatred by making a carnage of all the Jews..." [98][232]
It is listed among dates in a timeline of "The End of Judaism in Islam's land."[233]
Greek Genocide - 1914-23.
1,400,000 Victims by the Muslim Turks.
In 1913, sixteen thousand Greek inhabitants of Eastern Thrace were atrociously murdered by the Turks. The clear anti-Christian drive manifested itself in an example: "On 27 May 1914, the Muslims ordered that all Christians leave the town of Pergamum within two hours." [234]
During the years 1914-1923, the indigenous Greek minority of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey's predecessor, was subjected to a centrally-organized, premeditated and systematic policy of annihilation, perpetrated by two consecutive governments; the Committee for Union and Progress, later better known as the Young Turks, and the nationalist Kemalists led by Mustafa Kemal 'Atat'rk'. A lethal combination of labor brigades, internal deportations and massacres conducted throughout Anatolian Turkey resulted in the death of 1,400,000 Greeks.[235]
At the Hellenic Genocide (as it is called by the Greeks) most of the victims were massacred between 1895 and 1955. Also Serbs, and Bulgarians in Europe, were systematically massacred. [236]
Historian reminds that the British consul Henry Barnham, who oversaw Aintrab and Birecik in Aleppo Province, made it clear in his account how powerfully the killing of Armenians was motivated by Islamic fanaticism and a jihad mentality:
ReplyDeleteThe Butchers and the tanners, with sleeves tucked up to the shoulders, armed with clubs and cleavers, cut down the Christians, with cries of "Allah Akbar! ...Muslim clerics played a perpetual role in the massacring of Armenians; imams and softas would often rally the mob by chanting prayers; and mosques were often used as places to mobilize crowds, especially during Friday prayers. Christians were murdered in the name of Allah... [218]
In 2007, three were arrested in Turkey for murder of Journalist Hrant Dink, who was outspoken on Turks' genocide of Armenians. Dink was one of the most prominent voices of Turkey's Armenian community.[259][263]
The fascist Arab-Islamic leader of Palestine Haj Amin al-Husseinei, the Mufti who was given sole religious and secular authority and vast unsupervised funds by the British in the early 1920s, was known for his ideological hatred of Jews and fermenting mass violence against them from 1920, culminating in the Great Revolt of 1936-39, also leading deadly terror against his Arab-Palestinian opponents, and affirmation of Nazi genocide of Jews. It was suggested that "a key additional factor in the grand mufti's experience may well have been the Armenian genocide." Noting that "while training in the Ottoman Military Academy in Constantinople from late 1914 to mid-1915, Haj Amin must have been aware of the deportations and mass murders of Christian Armenians both in Constantinople and within the army itself."[264] Some analyze that the Nazis were inspired by the Armenian genocide. The Turks used primitive gas chambers and developed other murderous templates that were later adopted by the Nazis. [265]
Arab riots, Massacres, Pogroms on Jews in Israel / Palestine -1920-1921.[266]

This truly exposes what being a Muslim really is, and it is not a religion.
The propaganda and lies Islam is spreading that they are a religion and peaceful is a complete lie, and a dangerous one at that.
I am seeing most of America wake up to the fact that these evil coward savages wish to kill all who do not convert under Sharia Law.
I only have one thing to say to that. Islam is not a religion, but an evil ideology of murdering, raping, beheading, stoning and killing of ones own children in the name of honor.
Allah Akbar is Satan, and their pathetic Mohammed is no prophet as they so like to claim. He was a mass murderer, rapist, child molester, pedophile, and cross dresser; who spread death, evil and oppression during his evil reign. Nothing has changed in these evil savages since the 7th century. They still live in the dark ages & are "Hell Spawn".

Barrack Hussein Obama face it – Israel is Jewish territory and it is not negotiable.
The Arabs already have 75,000 sq. miles of Jewish land (6 times the size of Israel) that they confiscated from the million Jewish families they expelled from Arab countries in the past 70 years. They also have the Jewish territory of Jordan.
I think you do not have your facts straight – Israel belongs to the Jews.
The Quran states it clearly.
Israel is a Jewish State its territories are non-negotiable. It has been a Jewish country for over 3,500 years.
The Arab-Palestinians are the occupiers. All they want is to destroy the Jews. They educated their children and the masses to commit terror and violence against Israel. The dance in the streets when the twin towers in 9-11 collapsed and 3,000 Americans died.
It is amazing how you and many others choose to ignore that the Arab countries have persecuted and expelled over a million Jewish families from their countries in the last 70 years. Jews who lived there for over 2,500 years. The Arabs confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and real estate 5-6 times the size of Israel – 120,440 sq. km. or 75,000 sq. miles which is valued in the trillions of dollars.
Any Arab who is not happy to live under the Israeli government can move there.
Study your history; Muhammed in 627 about 1,500 years ago beheaded 700 Jews in Medina which was a Jewish town in Saudi Arabia, he killed all the men took the women as slaves and raped their daughters. This is just the tip of history.
Do you want more study the complete unbiased history objectively.

P.S.
There was never an Arab-Palestinian State in Greater Israel and there will never be – face it.
The Ottoman land records of Palestine confirm that the Arabs did not own land, the were sharecroppers. Over 92% of the land was owned by the government the balance was owned by absentee wealthy Arabs from Lebanon who sold it to the Jews at premium prices.
It is time to implement population transfer for all the Arabs.
who create violence, riot and attack Jews and anyone else. They could be relocated to the home and land of the million Jewish people, expelled from Arab countries or Jordan.

Tell the White House official to return occupied Texas and other states to Mexico and the rest of the United States to the Indians.
The Jews have a history with Israel going over 3,500 years. The Americans have only a few hundred years of occupation and deliberate destruction of the Indians.

During WWII the British as trustee for the Jewish people in the Mandate for Palestine, violated the International treaty by restricting Jewish immigration and turned back Jewish refugee ships who were escaping from German extermination camps, thereby sending many Jews back to be exterminated. The British went as far as blowing-up Jewish refugee ships destined for Palestine-Israel under "Operation Embarrass".
ReplyDeleteIn essence, when Israel entered and liberated the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Jerusalem in 1967 it did not occupy territory to which any other party had title. While Jerusalem and the West Bank, (Judea and Samaria), were illegally occupied by Jordan in 1948 they remained in effect part of the Jewish National Home that had been created at 1920 San Remo and confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne, thus, in the 1967 6-Day War Israel, in effect, recovered and liberated territory that legally belonged to Israel. To quote Judge Schwebel, a former President of the ICJ (International Court of Justice), “As between Israel, acting defensively in 1948 and 1967, on the one hand, and her Arab neighbors, acting aggressively, in 1948 and 1967, on the other, Israel has the better absolute title in the territory of what was Palestine, including the whole of Jerusalem. Any resolutions past by the U.N. are only a recommendation and cannot supersede international treaties.
The Arabs have Jordan, which was Jewish territory. The Arabs persecuted and expelled over a million Jewish families from their countries and confiscated all their assets, businesses, homes and Real estate property 5-6 times the size of Israel - 120,440 sq. km. and valued in the trillions of dollars. Most of the expelled Jewish families from Arab countries were resettled in Israel, today over half the population in Israel are the families of the million Jewish families expelled from Arab countries. Let the Arab-Palestinians relocate to those lands and solve the Arab Israel conflict and the Arab-Palestinian refugee problem.

Jewish exclusive political rights to Palestine-Israel under International Law was recognized by the Principal WWI Allies at San Remo in 1920, adopting the British Balfour Policy of 1917 (confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne). It was confirmed by the League of Nations in 1922 and also in 1922 by the US Congress Joint Resolution and in 1924 by treaty by the US that had declined to become a member of the League. On the demise of the League of Nations, the political rights were preserved in the UN Charter in Article 80. The Partition approved by the UN General Assembly was only a recommendation that the Jews agree to give up a part of their rights to avoid a war with the Arabs. The Jews agreed but the Arabs declined and went to war anyway. In 1920 the recognition of Jewish political or national rights to Palestine was done in such a way as to avoid immediate sovereignty by the Jews because they were then a minority and to do otherwise was considered anti-democratic. They were placed in trust with England as the trustee giving England legal dominion over the political rights. In September 19th, 1917 in a memo of the British Foreign Service, Arnold Toynbee and Lewis Namier had written that by placing the rights in trust, they would not vest until the Jews had attained a majority of population and were just as qualified to exercise sovereignty as any modern European nation-state. By 1950, after the British had abandoned their trust, the Jews acquired a majority population within the green line (armistice line). The UN vote on partition showed that it agreed the Jews were capable of exercising sovereignty. One can use other standards to determine who shall rule in Palestine. But International Law can only be made by treaty and long custom. It cannot be made by bodies having “International” in their title such as the UN in its recommendations or the International Court of Justice in advisory opinions. UN recommendations such as the 1947 Partition are only of legal force and effect if adopted by both sides of the issue by a treaty or the like. Under International Law, the Jews have exclusive political rights to all of Palestine west of the Jordan River and the Arabs have no basis for claiming sovereignty under International law as the Arabs local to Palestine have never exercised such rights. There has never been an Arab capital in Palestine.
ReplyDeleteAs to other bases — the Jews lived in Palestine for over 3,700 years and their presence there has been continuous although varying in number after the Romans drove many of them out, but not all. And under canon law, the Jews have sovereignty over Palestine. Even some Arabs have admitted that the Qur’an provides that. Under international law prior to the Westphalia new order, sovereignty was attained by declaring independence and holding the ground against all comers with your own blood and treasure. Under that standard also, the Jews are entitled to sovereignty. The rights of non-Jews in private property were preserved in the Balfour Declaration, the Mandate for Palestine, and Article 95 of the Treaty of Sevres in which the Ottomans ceded Palestine to the Mandatory Power. It insured their civil and their religious rights would be preserved. It did not preserve political rights because there were none to preserve. The local Arabs had never exercise sovereignty in Palestine.
Furthermore, the “Jewish National Home” mentioned in the Mandate reflected its status as the Jewish peoples beneficial interest in the political or national rights to Palestine, because it was not intended to become a nation-state until later.
The Arabs have Jordan, which was Jewish territory. The Arabs persecuted and expelled over a million Jewish families who lived there for over 2500 years, from their countries and confiscated all their assets, businesses, homes and Real estate property 6 times the size of Israel - 120,440 sq. km. and valued in the trillions of dollars.
