In the past, we were told Jews left Iran as result of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Yes, nearly 100 of them out of 30,000 Jewish population left Iran after the Islamic regime took control – but mostly for United States and not Israel.
Then came the news that Libyan Jews are leaving because Qaddafi’s hatred forJews. Not a single one out of country’s 200 Jews left the country.
After the so-called Arab Spring, Tunisia is “not safe for Jews,” the BBC told us. Jacob Lelouche, leader of 2000-strong Jewish community told BBC: I’m notstupid enough to move to Israel.
Netanyahu has told 500,000 French Jews on several occasions that even under a Jewish government of president Hollande, they’re not safe in France due to 6-9 million French Muslims. According to Israeli media, less than a thousand French Jews adopted Occupied Palestine as their ‘second home’ last year.
Now, Josh Jackman, claims (Jewish Chronicle, May 23, 2015) Jews (6000) are leaving Scotland due to “huge rise” in antisemitism as result of Israeli war on Gaza last year and the recent pro-Palestine SNP victory in the recent elections.
Jackman listed the following anti-Jew events for Jews’ decision to leave Scotland:
1. During the Gaza conflict pro-Palestinian protesters forced the closure of a stall owned by the Israeli Kedem company in a Glasgow shopping mall.
2. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow councils raised the Palestinian flag over their city chambers.
3. Former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond was an early supporter of an arms embargo on Israel during Operation Protective Edge.
For the record – there have been 39 motions censoring the Zionist regime in the Scottish Parliament during the last three years. Last month, MP Sandra White (SNP-Glasgow) put a motion in the parliament for the recognition of a Palestinian State based on pre-1967 Israel-PA borders. The motion was condemned by David Cameron and Benjamin Netanyahu governments.
Former Pakistan TV actress, Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, is a new SNP face at the UK’s Parliament.
Last year, UK’s chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis slammed Church of Scotland for publishing a report critical of Israel’s policies.
