Iraq Jewish Community

http://www.arabia2day.com

Throughout the years of Saddam's rule one mystery for many people in the West was what had happened to Iraq's Jews. Once a flourishing community, with a history stretching back 2500 years, they now number no more than a few dozen. Saddam Hussein had always considered Israel to be enemy number one but during his last years Iraq's jews were left largely unmolested. Inigo Gilmore has been on a journey with one of the last Iraqi Jewish families: from Baghad to Israel he has followed the fate of Levy family.

God bless Iraqi Jews. God bless all Iraqis. Without the diversities, Iraq wouldn't be Iraq anymore. Inshallah Iraq will be great again. Inshallah every Iraqi Jew, Christian, Muslim, and Atheist can return to their homeland. It is their country too. I am Iraqi Muslim, and I approve this message.

To all our brothers and sisters the iraqi Jewish; most of the iraqis love you and wish you all the best, the rest are few, filled with hate to everyone, so we don't care about them.
