Reply To: Does Neturei Karta have a point?

Health, Jews living in Arab lands always had the status of a dhimmi, a second class citizen. Financially and educationally Jews flourised in arab lands, for most of the time they were left in peace compared to Europe’s Ashkenazim, but they also from time to time endured persecution and programs, the Iraqi Farhud of 1941 is a middle-eastern example of Kristlenacht carried out by Muslims. Meshadi Persians Jews are examples of devout Jews who carried on their beliefs inspite of attempts to convert them, I recall a frum relative as a child who had two names, Haji( as in Muslim pilgrim) and Mordecai!
