UAE Writer: The Arab Countries' Expulsion of the Jews Was a Disastrous Mistake

Emirati writer Salam Hamid, founder and head of the Al-Mezmaah Studies and Research Center in Dubai, published an article titled "The Cost of the Expulsion of the Arab Jews" in the UAE daily Al-Ittihad, in which he lamented the expulsion of the Jews from the Arab countries following the establishment of Israel in 1948. 

This expulsion, he said, was a grave mistake, since the Arab countries thereby "lost an elite population with significant wealth, property, influence, knowledge, and culture," which could have helped them, including against Israel, and lost the potential contribution of the Jews in many spheres, especially in the financial sphere. 

The Arabs, he added, should have learned a lesson from the expulsion of the Jews of Spain in 1492, and from Hitler's expulsion of the Jews of Europe, which eventually harmed the countries that lost their Jews. 

He stated further that antisemitism, which is deeply entrenched in Arab societies, stems from the books that teach Islamic heritage, studied in schools throughout the Arab world, and therefore called for an overhaul of the curricula in order to strengthen tolerance and banish extremism.

There must have been a good reason,maybe it was if we had stayed there populations would have exploded.Jewish doctors and nurses brought Arab birth rates much higher if we were helping their Mothers

Wrong photo ๐Ÿง, but yes, Jews are a blessing, but expelling them means removing the blessing. What is left is an accurse nation. The Arab writer got it ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Nick Horsky, itโ€™s never to late to forgive. There is no barriers for hatred. The blood that comes out of man is the same.

Arab hatred of Jews is in their DNA. They hate the Jews more than they love their own children and their happiness.

Sometimes the truth hurts. God bless Salam Hamid for speaking the truth. Pray for the Jews and the Arabs.
