Israel wants Iraq to pay compensation
By AFP Jun 2, 2004, 11:09
Israel looks set to pursue a compensation claim on behalf of Jews who left Iraq over 50 years ago, despite no such similar consideration for Palestinian refugees.
Tel Aviv has sent copies of over 800 documents to Washington ââ¬â not Baghdad - in a bid to claim compensation for Israeli citizens who "were forced to abandon their property".
A diaspora affairs ministry spokeswoman told Aljazeera.net on Tuesday that records have already been sent to the US State Department.
Comprising "a partial list of Jewish properties as well as hundreds of marriage and death certificates from between 1949 and 2001", the papers were found by US-led occupation forces in Baghdad.
They had been water-damaged and were difficult to decipher. Nevertheless, spokeswoman Rivka Kanarek said the documents "contribute to an evaluation of properties" in Baghdad.
Selected representative comment
Iraq's minister for reconstruction and planning, Bayan Sulagh, said on 31 March that Jews who left en masse "after coming under massive pressure in the wake of Israel's creation" would be entitled to reclaim their property.
"Everyone knows there used to be Jews in Iraq and they owned property. Under the law, every Iraqi has the right to reclaim what belongs to them."
But any compensation claim will necessarily have to look into the causes of the mass emigration.
Why would a community of 120,000, settled for over 2000 years in Baghdad, suddenly abandon their homes?
The Jewish community was well integrated into Iraqi society, and generally prosperous. Yet during 1950 and 1951, more than 95% of the Jewish population left Iraq for Israel via airlifts known as Operation Ezra and Nehemiah.
Historically accurate?
But historians are now questioning the traditional Zionist explanation for the exodus.
Speaking at a Jewish Studies Conference in Australia earlier this year, historian Philip Mendes of Latrobe University dismissed as simplistic the Israeli claim that the exodus was a response to a long history of persecution .
He contends that the exodus from Iraq can also be attributed to numerous other factors ââ¬â such as the prominent and popular identification of Jews with Communism and a British-Iraqi fear of political domination by the Soviet Union.
Nevertheless, Tel Aviv will continue to push for compensation over an exodus it may have partially helped to engineer while refusing to even consider financial compensation for the Palestinians who have been refugees for over half a century.
No disapora affairs ministry official was prepared to comment on the apparent paradox.

The Jews are like vultures always going for the dead for an easy picking, why dosent one of those people come to me and tell me to give them money for this or that?
One of these days I expect them to go after Egypt in order to get back wages for when they were slaves there,,,,,, I don't think that they were slaves in Egypt, to me they were the low wage earners.

Scrapping the bottom of the barrel,,,,,,, The US has asked Bengalese to send some of their troops to Iraq,,,,,,,hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
The US is in such deep sh*t that they don't care where they get some back up from, as you know Bengalese has NOTHING at all, no food no water no medicine no uniforms for their troops, NOTHING AT ALL.
So, I guess that the US will give them some nice uniform and their leaders some nice shinny buttons. Meanwhile the people of Bengalese will continue to go hungry while their young people help fight "terrorist" in a foreign land.

So predictable. Israel is the expert state on the globe at shaking down other countries. It's the chief national industry of Israel, next to arms-dealing and Ecstasy pills and the White slave trade, that is. Reparations come to Israel from Germany for the Hollowco$t, aid goes to Israel from America--maybe because of the claim commonly voiced over at FR that the "Americans turned away the boats of Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler" or some such other manufactured guilt. Now it's Iraq's turn.

"For while the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It doesn't even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindle, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks." ~ AH

[QUOTE=AntiYuppie]Maybe Israel should offer the first olive branch by paying Iraq compensation for the time Sharon and Begin ordered the bombing of a civilian nuclear power plant in Iraq (1981)? And why not add another gesture of good will by compensating the Lebanese for the Israeli invasion thereof in 1982?
I wonder why Hannity and Limbaugh never speak of these events...[/QUOTE]
Actually, they do speak of the Osirik bombing in glowing terms. As for the Lebanon invasion, true, not a word, nor have I heard them comment on the crap going on in Gaza, even though it will be the U.S. that winds up rebuilding everything the Zionists have destroyed. I guess it is more fun to bitch about Kerry on a daily basis and repeat the mantra about "staying the course."

The power of the mind,,,,,, this Y2K syndrome is getting to me,,,,,, I live in a very small community in the middle of nowhere and always go for a walk at night time, I usually see about one or two cars during my walks, but, last night for some reason I counted 27 vehicles, 23 of them were SUV's, 1 ambulance, 1 pick up truck and 2 cars, the funny part is that my road leads to nowhere.
And last night I had this dream,,,,,, I saw an armada of ships leaving all shores of the world ,,,,,,,, as you know that is exactly what is going on at this time. And the reason for this was a stolen nuclear submarine, I then saw the sub with this person painting the Star of David on the side of the sub.
Tie to the top of the submarine I saw a really big bulldozer, crazy no? There was a ramp going from shore to the sub. On shore next to the sub. I saw and air compressor, but, it was not a regular compressor for it was about 10 feet by 40 feet but with all the implements that makes an air compressor, and it was painted red.
Then a really large logged tree tied to the back of a big dolly come from down the road, by gravity, and hit the side of the red compressor.
