Celebrating Assad regime’s fall, 1 of 9 Jews remaining in Syria calls on Syrian Jewish emigres to visit
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

Credibility of Ynet aside, there was indeed once a thriving Jewish community in Syria.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Jews
There was also one in Yemen.

In that case, most of them were intentionally driven out. There were even pogroms.
Would you care to enlighten me regarding the credibility of Ynet? Been coming back to them on & off for many years and they always seem to have well written articles. MBFC also ranks them highly.
It’s an Israeli source and I wanted to stop a credibility discussion before it started.
Ah yes. Worried it might've been something else. Even being at war, Israel does rather well when it comes to press freedom. There are a wide variety of perspectives.
They shut down Al Jazeera entirely and they murder journalists in Gaza & Lebanon systematically, they’ve killed literally hundreds since October 7 and have been doing it before. I don’t know in what world you’d consider that doing press freedom “rather well“
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_controversies_and_criticism
Al Jazeera has a long history of islamist propagandism and affiliating with terrorists.
So the usual, got it. Maybe they’re hamas too? Also, no word about assassinating literally hundreds of journalists? Were they also all terrorists?
Maybe they’re hamas too?
There have been Al-Jazeera journalists who are Hamas members.
Also, no word about assassinating literally hundreds of journalists?
Nope. It's rather clear you aren't interested in a good faith discussion on the topic. Don't have the time or energy to put up with that right now.
Were they also all terrorists?
There are almost certainly some journalists who have been wrongly killed, as in any war.
The proposal, put forward by communications minister Shlomo Kar’i, will end government advertising in the newspaper and cancel all subscriptions for state employees and employees of state-owned companies.
Not exactly something that'll prevent them from continuing their work, nor does it limit press freedom. On the whole that entire situation actually reinforced my confidence in Israeli media since it clearly shows that it isn't under government control.
There was a lot of ugly shit happening. Part of it was unfortunately also due to Zionist psy-ops after they realized most Arab Jews didn’t want to leave their home countries.
All that shit probably wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the British and French doing their divide and conquer shit so well to drive a wedge between people who were living together more or less peacefully before.
Unfortunately all the meddling worked really well.
Sorry, are you blaming Jews for pogroms against Jews?
Nope, the pogroms didn’t happen in a vacuum that’s what I’m saying. They were horrible and I blame the Arabs for carrying them out. But nevertheless it was a calculated strategy by the British, French and the Zionists to support whatever dirtbags would be willing to roll with their strategies.
Examples are the Jews in Morocco: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_of_Moroccan_Jews_to_Israel Ironically, they have been living there for 2,000 years and their trouble began when the French Nazi collaborators started persecuting the Jews and eventually Israel had to pay money to the Morroccan Jews because they didn’t want to come there.
Many migrants became disgruntled at what they perceived to be racist attitudes among the Ashkenazi towards them. In this early period the majority (70%) either wished to return to Morocco, or advised their families not to follow them to Israel, given the discrimination they encountered.
Whole article is worth reading and there are similar stories in other countries, because they were Arabs first and then Jewish, Muslim, Christian whatever, but this changed drastically thanks to imperialism and their divide and conquer strategy.
The Zionists didn’t give a shit about Arab Jews, they were just an instrument to get a Jewish majority in Palestine, because even Palestinians Jews were divided on Zionism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Jews
Until today there are Palestinian Jews who are anti-Zionist because they are native to that land and Zionism has ruined their lives equally.
