The first myth is that there’s something called ” The Jews ” , all of them as an entity since the beginning of history they’re one people, one race, also same hopes oppressed for 2000 years not individuals , but one entity.
While if we took a look at Jewish communities in Europe, and compare them to Jewish communities in Arab countries by the end of the 19th century, just a quick look, will tell us that this isn’t real.
Jews in Morocco were approximately 150,000 in Egypt were 80,000.
By the beginning of the 20th century Jews in Iraq, Baghdad were 50,000 and that’s 25% of Baghdad’s population.
These Jewish communities were part of the Arab countries they lived in.
Jewish Arab whose life and properties were safe, also they had there own Worship places and schools .
There’s no doubt they faced issues faced by any minority, but they were a part of the fabric of our society.
All these countries belonged to the Ottoman Empire that was tolerant with the Jews there.
