When the zionist entity was founded, some Arab countries were colonies and had their jews transferred to israel by the colonizers, some independent ones were bribed into sending them, the case for Algeria specifically is that Jews had a french nationality, and for the rest the mossad supported terrorist attacks and pogroms to scare jews. the way the graph is displayed, it’ll make you believe Muslims built holocausts for the jews they had.
We had a struggle session about this. TLDR, the person in charge of the emojis doesn’t want an emoji burning Israeli flag because it felt too close to a direct attack on the Star of David and Judaism in general.
I honestly don’t think that there’s anything wrong with burning flags of the entity, obviously, but it’s fair enough to be uncomfortable about making it an emoji on a website where anyone can come and recontextualize it as they see fit. I would make a different choice if I was the one in charge of emojis, but if my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle.
Many Jews emmigrated to Israel after WW2 and the graphic would like you to think they were murdered, mainly.
Like, sentiment wasn’t great in those countries before WW2, don’t get me wrong. Pogroms did occur and that’s terrible. But after the establishment of Israel and what Israel then immediately did, all sentiment against Jews in the region is entirely explained by Israels actions and cannot be laid at the feet of those other countries.
Most of the migration was more specifically post-Nakhba than post-WWII.
I do think it’s plainly obvious that several of the countries on the graph were at least very complicit with antisemitism at some point in time, but two of these are French colonies and Mossad was bombing synagogues in Iraq to cause exactly the effect shown here.
Oh yea, I didn’t feel like going into huge detail about the timeline since the end of WW2 and the Nakhba are 2 years apart.
Did they love the Jews in those countries pre that? Nope, absolutely not. Did Jews live there for hundreds of years contiguously in spite of that dislike? Absolutely. Did they kill them all between WW2 and now? Hell no. Which is the misleading part.
Yes, a bit more info: USA and Israel each have roughly 45% of the global Jewish population, the last 10% is split between Iran, China, and Europe. Israel’s population growth was largely dependant on immigration, but that well has nearly completely dried up (the past couple years have seen net emmigration with regards to Europe)
Lol. In terms of the (undoubtedly misleading) graphic alone, is there any basis in reality at all?

there was also operation Solomon for Ethiopia
Ah yeah, I was definitely assuming they were immigrating to
especially with the percentages not shown there at all. Thanks for the context
