http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/the-exodus-obama-didnt-mention/ Obama forgot to talk about Jews expelled from Arab lands, writes Andre Aciman. en-us uheilman@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-06-09T;18:40:00-05:00 fred.dayan@gmail.com Thank you Mr. Aciman; My family goes back for generations in Egypt and we were indeed looted, as his family was. Somehow we are not “victims” to the left and their arab allies, somehow we were “foreigners” and deserved our fate. Thank G-d we are made of “sterner stuff"and don’t go about wingeing: we remade our lives and most of us, successfully in whatever country we landed. Thank you Mr. Aciman;

Perhaps they are not even aware of how the Jews were treated by the countries that they had lived in for thousands of years. If Israel would take from the Arabs who live in Israel we would never hear the end of that from our Jewish American friends or from the U.N.
