Credibility of Ynet aside, there was indeed once a thriving Jewish community in Syria.

There was also one in Yemen.

In that case, most of them were intentionally driven out. There were even pogroms.
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.
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.
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.
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.
