Arab Jews: The Hidden History | Ash Sarkar meets Avi Shlaim

[@kingkoopa115]

My father was born in Baghdad in 1934 to Assyrian Christian parents. My father would tell me all the time that when he was a kid in Iraq no one cared about Muslim, Jew, or Christian. Most people lived together, celebrated each other’s holiday together and were genuinely friends. Everything changed as he got older, not just for Jews, but even for Christians..however Jews fled to Israel, all the other minorities had no where to go.

[@john70689]

That's how it should be everyone living in harmony it's a shame it changed. Did he tell you what changed for the Christians living there?

Thank you for sharing your families story. It sounds like what Syrians told me. You are very close with your neighbors and share food daily, but you would never ask them about their religion. Because it doesn't matter.

It’s devastating and true nekba to the Palestinians first and foremost, and the rest of the Arab region regards of what religion people where from.

Novara Media: This is the Breakthrough in forming and educating ourselves that has been missing to 'ordinary folk' - I am nearly 70yrs of age - Never was this history discussed, debated, even acknowledged. Totally missing from our education - It is obvious why History and International Awareness is restricted. You Media are providing a generation with the opportunity to know the Truth - and the Truth will set us free! This is excellent work, vital work, essential work in such a format that people must be gin to breakdown the down the ignorance, the straightjackets that the 'forced impact' of not concentrating for longer periods upon History. Piece meal or the briefest of brief flashes of ideas/history is a softminded guide approach to enforced ignorance. And hence, a whole policy of keeping folk ignorant - strictly focused upon consumerism and self. Please keep up this excellent informative work.
