Beginning on the Passover Holiday of 1992, the 4,000 remaining members of the Damascus Jewish community (Arabic Yehud ash-Sham) as well as the Aleppo community and the Jews of Qamishli, were permitted under the regime of Hafez al-Assad to leave Syria provided they did not emigrate to Israel. Within a few months, thousands of Syrian Jews made their way to Brooklyn,
people don't realize that Syrians are extremely diverse because of their rich, ancient history they have learned to accept differences. It is sad that the Jews of Syria decided to relocate because they were promised freedom and what not...Today in Syria, Muslims and Christians are fighting against the tyrant Bashar, and when freedom comes things will change to the better...
@lina9399 Oh you mean Jews didn't leave Syria because of the anti-Jewish riots throughout Syria after the creation of Israel or b/c their synagogues & businesses were torched or because the whole community was under the surveillance of the mukhabarat (Secret services) or because their freedom of movement was curtailed or b/c they were economically strangulated or or? Oh yeah, makes sense...maybe you should speak to those Syrian Jews who left and ask them why they left.Just a Suggestion
@mazoona Care to clarify with some references please. do u realize that there are 4 million Muslim Syrians who are banned from entering Syria, just because Assad wants no opposition in the country... But God is great and they will return soon ... what I am trying to say is that Jews of Syria were not hated by Muslims but rather were denied rights by the Assad regime, the regime that doesn't have a sense human compassion. Will I am asking you cuz I dont know any Syrian Jew??
@mazoona don't just copy paste Wikipedia please cite it
Many families left Syria for Egypt (and a few for Lebanon) in the following decades, and with increasing frequency until the First World War, Jews left the near East for western countries, mainly Great Britain, the United States, Mexico and Argentina. This pattern of migration largely followed the fortunes of the cotton trade, in which many Syrian Jews were engaged...and for the paragraph you shared, there is a citation needed.
@lina9399 I didn't copy and paste. The info & history is recorded & out there for you if you wish to educate yourself. I don't see why I have to do your homework for you. I actually know many Jews from the Middle-East including Syria & their stories all share a common theme, namely the intolerance of pan-Arab nationalism that swept the region and adversely affected all minorities but especially Jews who were scapegoated for the defeats the Arab armies faced at the hands of Israel
@lina9399 I suggest you watch the documentaries "The Forgotten Refugees" and "Exodus" by Pierre Rehov. I also recommend checking out JIMENA (Jews Indigenous to the Middle-East & North Africa) website
Correction "Silent Exodus" by Pierre Rehov
