An event in London last week to mark the exodus and expulsion of Jews from Arab countries became an opportunity to counter the current far-left narrative that paints Israel as a country of white settlers.

Organiser Lyn Julius, who runs Harif, the association of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, told the audience at JW3 that 50 percent of Jews in Israel have roots in Arab and Muslim countries. They had not left those countries willingly, she added, and many left as a result of massacres.

“Families butchered like sheep, bodies buried in the debris of homes in which pogromists had locked the families before setting them on fire. Jewish girls raped, their breasts cut off. No, I am not describing 7 October 2023,” Julius said. “We have been here before. It’s an anti-Jewish atrocity which occurred in Constantine, Algeria, in 1934. But I could have cited any number of similarly barbaric atrocities: in Fez, Morocco, in 1912, in Tripoli, Libya, in 1945, in Iraq in 1941 the Farhud, which claimed the lives of at least 179 Jews.”

She pointed out that Israel was “the solution to pre-existing antisemitism” that had led to pogroms across the region. “In a generation and a half almost all the ancient, pre-Islamic Jewish communities of the Middle East and North Africa have been ethnically cleansed. Hamas simply wants to finish the job. From almost a million Jews in 1948, only about 4,000 remain, and that number dwindles year by year.”

Julius herself is the child of parents who came to Britain from the Iraqi capital Baghdad in 1950. A film shown at the event presented testimony from Jews who had been forced out of their native counties in the Middle East and North Africa.

Jocelyne Shrago is one of the four people interviewed in the film, commissioned from Daisy Abboudi, deputy director of the oral history archive Sephardi Voices UK.

Shrago, who was born in Algeria, told how during the Constantine pogrom her parents and sister went over the wall to the Arab family who lived next door, who saved them. She recalls the bombing campaign during the Algerian war of independence in the 1950s, when she covered her baby niece with her body to protect her. “People had to leave in ‘62 because on the walls there was graffiti that said ‘La valise ou le cercueil’, ‘the suitcase or the coffin’.” Some went to Israel. Her family on both sides went to France, where she lived until 1968, when she moved to the UK.

Other speakers at the event last Thursday, the ninth that Harif has organised, included Baroness (Ruth) Deech, Joseph Dweck, senior rabbi of the S&P Sephardi Community, Marie van der Zyl, president of the Board of Deputies, Claudia Mendoza, chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council, and the Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely. The ambassador said Mizrachi Jews were not just 50 percent of Israel’s population but had shaped her history. “Israel today is a very healthy mix between west and east.”

Mendoza spoke movingly about her mother’s family, who are from Aden. They were forced to flee and her grandfather was murdered. “The clarity with which my family speak when they talk about threats to your life because you’re a Jew resonate more than ever today. They have seen it before and they do not have the luxury of denalism.”

But she also had a powerful and uplifting message to the Jewish community, and warned it not catastrophise or retreat into itself.

“The polling that we’ve done at the JLC [Jewish Leadership Council] after the October 7 attack shows that while there may be a small number of extremists in the UK who support Hamas, and they must be called out, the vast majority of British people recognise them for the murderous terrorists that they are and they reject those that wish to target jews here in the UK.

“If we fight as if we are surrounded exclusively by enemies, we risk by that very attitude making enemies we didn’t previously have, and losing friends whose sympathies we fail to notice. We have so many friends, I promise you that.”

A Parody of Literature

excerpt in translation from the 1990 short story The Littlest Things We Know to be Small (originally in Vascon as Los Mens que Sems come Pochins) by Anna Rocamora. It parodied the overelaborate, overspecific style that had become popular in the regional highbrow literary scene in recent years and almost singlehandedly changed publishing trends overnight.

Mell'inquillin e mey entrquïsceurn a plaç meg dy torn ag droccon por aug libar e gostaçon pascr des y plat a lox. My roommate and I paused mid-lap on the driveway to sip water and nibble from the tray of pizza slices.

Caye l'yeul un marrenquon harif eð affrous de ciscr, hurlanç e slenget occajonal entr groun abrevað. The street was a weird, scary nightmare of squeals, shrieks and occasional snogs between tipsy teens.

Un camil vabian closnautr passau clacquant. Un connart magrastr quidam craccau un mot all'orlaç groinant, senglottaç e glouç indugnt de sbayour. A battered jeep rattled by. Some scrawny bastard spat a wad onto the kerb with a grunt, prompting whines and giggles from bystanders.

Pieç pas ados, un frot flasq a cedar sonau cant lamp a xanthal cardaurn y teneur. A few footsteps behind, a pathetic guitar strum sounded as neon lights teased the darkness.

Jo senteu un stig leger ag ventr. "Or bon, tenau a traiscnar," murmurau mell'amig cos ouveg, cur tornant deur y stril gapiscent de fren. I felt a slight pang in my gut. "Alright, let’s shuffle on," my friend mumbled with a pout, ignoring the intermittent squeals of brakes.

"The sounds of the camp stirring brought Pelletier back to the present. It was time to move on. There were many more hours of riding before sunset. Pelletier returned to Harif's letter to his pouch and walked quickly back to the camp, aware that such moments of peace and quiet contemplation might be in short supply in the days ahead." --Kate Mosse Laberynth (135)

I need to understand that my dad might always answer the phone scared that im gonna tell him im in the hospital because something happened to me. 2 or three years ago i was sick and

Those weird but perfect compliments one of ur best friends tells u that makes u say- man, i want that on my death stone..

"Talking to u feels like being at the beach"

There's something beautiful about growing up. Growing past

I don't want a wedding i want a marriage. Id rather spend money on things like waking up in the morning to my favorite mugs. A home that has all my favorite things in it. A marriage of pancakes with whipped cream, dancing in the kitchen and washing dishes to good speakers,

There was a time in my life where i could dance all night. Perfect nights in my eyes consisted of arak and dancing without a care in the world. It meant going with the flow of the night to the extreme. The adrenaline rush of going with whatever and not knowing, but trusting ull be ok cuz ur with ur people. It felt like my home was both everywhere and no where. Stone sidewalks, grass, a couch, a park bench, and a bed were all the same in my head. Its a funny thing, growing up. Because now, perfect is making cupcakes and watching the first harry potter movie for the first time. Its dancing around the kitchen in the morning while making coffee in ur favorite mug. Ur people become the ones

I never thought

For a second i feel weird about weddings i wasnt invited to, parties my friends are at that i didnt know about. But then i remember that im not a party person. Im just not. I hate parties actually. Id rather be huddled in my room with my best friends and watch a movie.

Sheet pillowcase duvet

When ur schizophrenic old dude calls his daughter and it finally goes through and

It's such a good feeling when u say goodbye to all ur old guys watching tv and they say "when r u coming back? Come all the time!" And ur like "I'll be back tomorrow"

Im sorry that what i said was too harif.

I did mean it and i couldnt help myself. It blurted out.

Cuz when im uncomfortable, i blurt things. Im uncomfortable with someone asking me to do something that i cant do. Thats my issue. If u ask me to do something that i cant do, my mind is so comfused.

I wasnt really angry. I was feeling panic. Its hard in a new job. Because everyone is asking you to do things that i dont know how to do or what to do. So i act like im fine, but really inside im in panic mode until i understand better.

Im just in panic mode surrounded by people i dont know the names of, and shes asking me to do things and

When i was there i really got the vibe that she didnt want to move. Every time i wasnt sure what to do, she huffed and puffed if it meant she needed to get up.

Its true that i do stuff but like

Listening to comedians talk about comedy is such a cool thing. The little specks of information u get as to why someones good. Theres a way

Wanna hear something instresting. Im a fourth year art student and after four years of learning how to create, talk, and think about art, the girls in my class continuously talk about the existence of art. Its merit, what makes art art and what makes it hold value and why it isnt the most egotistical thing that exists. Why should someone else care how i think and what gives me the right to put it out in the world and have people listen to me. When we told a teacher our thoughts, she said something really interesting. She didntanswer us. Maybe theres no real answer or an infinite amount of answers to the merit of art. She said the questions don't change. But after four years of learning and growth and discussion, the words change. And take a second to sit in that pride. Those questions will probably not change. But the words will change. Because itll be deeper. Like the maharal says- the essence of the torah will not change. But when mashiach comes and in gan eden, the spaces will change to create different words because we will be more intelligent. Right now we can talk about mcdonalds from the perspective of how it tastes.

So we had a discussion with a teacher

The idea is to become more intelligent.

When i cane to art school i wanted to learn about the world. Sometimes creating is the desire to be like gd.

As you create, the questions dont change, but theres something to having a more and mote intelligent conversation. More intelligence when thinking about it. Thats why we learn torah. What is the value of a deeper understanding of the world, of myself, of hashem, of people. What does hashem say about studying and creating art?

My kind of fun used to be people who always had a bottle of arak and some weed in their backback. It used to be crashing wedding. It meant packing a toothbrush cuz i never knew where id end up sleeping. It used to mean bars and bad music and sleeping in cars at 5am. It used to mean lying on the grass woth friends 1am talking about the meaning of life or getting over trauma. It used to mean constantly being on the go, where i was always the only girl amongst guys.

Post therapy, my kind of fun has changed. A fun night means watching harry potter movie for the first time. Waking up and drinking coffee in the cup my friend knows i love. Going to bed at midnight and waking up at 8. Fun is dancing jn the morning to oldies music or the shrek 2 soundtrack. Fun is safer now. Its feeling loved by the people around me. Its being with people who forget their phones everywhere because theyre noot addicted

I see beauty in old people. The fact that they woke up for thousands of days. I think that maybe the fsct that i spent so many days wishing that i

Can i just say something- whatever comes to u is just supposed to come

HARIF urges sending letters on Jewish refugees to parliamentarians

Jewish refugees from Arab countries are an issue at the heart of any understanding of  conflict in the Middle East.  Yet they are so often ‘erased’ from the narrative or their story distorted.  Alarmed at the lies, misinformation and omissions about Jews and Israel – contributing to skyrocketing antisemitism – HARIF, the UK Association of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, has launched a letter-writing campaign to raise awareness of Jewish refugees in the new Labour government and among the new crop of politicians taking their places at Westminster.  Harif has composed a sample letter (below)  for its supporters to send to their MPs (Full list at the We work for you website). If you do not live in the UK, you can adapt the letter  to be sent to US Congressmen, Senators or other political representatives.

SAMPLE LETTER

Dear

I am writing as a constituent of yours to draw your attention to a neglected aspect of the Israel/Palestine conflict – namely the human rights issue of Jewish refugees from Arab countries. I  ask for your support in ensuring that this issue be given equal prominence with the far more familiar issue of Arab/Palestinian refugees from 1948.

In fact,  a larger number of Jewish refugees  –  850,000 – were driven out from Arab countries at the same time,  for no reason other than they shared the ethnicity and religion of  Israelis.  The majority of the Jewish refugees found a new home in Israel without the aid of UNRWA, and today constitute, with their descendants, 53 percent of the Jews of Israel.  However, some tens of thousands were resettled in the UK.

The 7 October Hamas massacre has stirred painful memories among these Middle Eastern and North African Jews. Many suffered similar violent episodes  before the creation of Israel.

In addition, there is no question that in 1947-48  Arab countries deliberately targeted their Jewish populations with discriminatory laws. 

On Sunday 16th May 1948 the New York Times carried a headline: ‘JEWS IN GRAVE DANGER IN ALL MOSLEM LANDS’, with the sub-heading ‘Nine Hundred Thousand in Africa and Asia Face Wrath of their Foes’. 

In Egypt, as early as 1926 a nationality law stated that a person born in Egypt was entitled to Egyptian nationality only if their father “belonged racially to the majority of the population of a country whose language is Arabic or whose religion is Islam”.

In Iraq, a 1950 law to entitled “Supplement to Ordinance Cancelling Iraqi Nationality,” was used to deprive Jews of their Iraqi nationality.

In all Arab countries, riots, expropriations and expulsions ensured that Jewish communities were forcibly deprived of their rights and property. It Is estimated that Jews lost privately-owned land equivalent to Jordan and Lebanon combined. 

   Indigenous Middle Eastern and North African Jewish communities, which predated colonisation by the Arab conquest and Islam by 1,000 years or more, have ceased to exist.

At the time the injustice done to Jewish refugees was recognised by international actors: the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) recognised on a number of occasions that the plight of the Jewish refugees fell within its remit. This is also why UNSC Resolution 242 refers to “a just settlement of the refugee problem” without specifying the “Arab” or “Palestinian” refugee problem.

Some countries have recognised this Jewish refugee issue as the injustice it is. In 2008 the US House of Representatives  passed Resolution 185 which stated that “any explicit reference to the rights of Palestinian refugees must be matched by a similar reference to the rights of Jewish refugees”. In March 2014, the Government of Canada officially recognised “the experience of Jewish refugees who were displaced from states in the Middle East and North Africa after 1948”.

My request to you is that you use your influence to persuade the British government  to recognise the injustice that was suffered by more than 800,000 Jewish refugees from Arab countries, and to ensure that it recognises this tragedy in its policy towards the Middle East.

Yours sincerely
