Ancient synagogues are still standing in Syria, although many have been severely damaged by airstrikes and looted by rebels; some internal Syrians and ex-pats are cautiously optimistic about Jewish life under the new government
We used to have thousands. But after 1948, we exiled them all. In saudi, we have 0, and if you are Israeli, you are not even allowed to enter the country (used to be if you were jewish, straight up). In Iraq there is 100 or something. Most, if not all people here haven’t ever talked to or seen a jew (Including me) but they hate them with a passion, to the point of even praising Hitler. Hopefully one day the antisemitism die out in the arab world, but it won’t happen in this lifetime.
In the whole Arab world there were hundreds of thousands if not millions of Jews being just regular people living their lives whereas in Europe they talked about Jews like they do about Muslims today up until they did the fucking Holocaust.
It was never about Jews and still isn’t. It’s about colonizers stealing our land, putting us under apartheid and genociding us.
Yeah, but i still think it’s sad how there’s a huge divide between us. I largely blame zionism, but i’ve heard some disgusting opinions from some arabs not about zionism itself, but about jews. Yet they hypocritically complain about us being discriminated, saying that not all of us are terrorists. Guess that just doesn’t apply to jews.
I get what you’re saying and I’ve heard that stuff too ngl. And I think Arabs are also pretty damn racist, not more or less than any other group of people.
But I think in general the more educated people are able to make the distinction, and if you see Jewish voice for Peace, Queers for Palestine, Irish bloc, etc. fighting with their lives to support us whereas Arab governments and even religious figures are largely silent and complicit, it changes something. We see it and the people in Gaza see it, and if there’s ever a free Palestine it should be free for everyone.
I honestly wish there’s a way out of this, but if there is it’s gonna be a long one.

يا هلا يا هلا ظنيت أنا لحالي هون :D
Yeah no one likes you when you create a fascist government with the sole intent of stealing their land and killing their people.
Doesn’t justify supporting nazis, exiling their entire race, and discriminating against them. Hell, i’d say the exiles encouraged zionism even more.
But i agree that Israel is horrible, but the reactions were awful too.
