Refugee Ship Captured By British |
The war was over. The Nazi horror had been stopped.
But where to go? Some tried to return to their old towns, and were killed by mobs or driven away by the "new" occupants of their house. Many tried to emigrate to the land of Israel, but were prevented by the British blockade and sent to camps in Cyprus. They went, weary Jews of Europe, to begin their lives anew.
The Holocaust reshaped the Jewish world and affected us in more ways than we realize. May we all see the day when humanity comes of age and horrors such as this are no more.

Maybe I'm not wrong.
This is a point of view from an Arab who trusts in God and all his prophets.
All Jew people would certainly agree with the mentioned reasons and / or causes for "being hated" by others, but, as a non-Jew, I have different points of view. I think, maybe some of the reasons mentioned Theories of anti-Semitism, are not that true, except for the "Outsider Theory". Jew people often look suspicious when they first settle down in a country. As for the "Economic theory", I think European countries in general and Germany in particular were concerned with that theory which was the trigger that caused the feeling of hate towards the "chosen people".
As far as I know, Jew people in Morocco were not different from Muslims. They spoke the same language. They dressed in the same way, and as neighbours, they visited each other. They exchanged even meals; we still eat the famous "S'khina" a meal the Moroccan Jews prepared on Fridays for Saturdays. One could hardly distinguish between a Jew and a Muslim. When in Europe, Jew people were easily extradited to the Nazis; King Mohammed V of Morocco though under French protectorate refused to extradite a part of his citizens to the German SS. The problem began when Jamal Abdennasser took control of Egypt and War between the Arabs and Israel started, and hate and fear settled between the Arabs and the Israelis with the help of Cairo Radio the only source of news.
The cold war helped last this situation for a certain time. Now USSR were collapsed, other regional powers started emerging and tried to have a role in the Middle East; such as Europe, Egypt and Iran. In my opinion, the two stupid people are the Palestinians and the Israelis. This peace would never be achieved between them if they still rely on other powers. They should put their hands in one another. They should thank those countries for their efforts and implore them to stop.
Peace in the Middle East is possible. It is nearer than ever. All of USA, Iran, Egypt and Europe have a role to play in the region. Are they all good and honest players? Certainly not. Whenever Palestinian and Israeli leaders got nearer to conclude some engagements of a peace process, one or two of the mentioned powers do all they can to put an end to that.
Many leaders exploited this conflict:
•Arab leaders managed to last long in governing and getting richer and richer, they also succeeded in getting their citizens busy about foreign affairs.
•Europe - because of what happened to the Jews who were some of their citizens - feeling guilty for their extermination, their leaders tried to do all Israel exacted from them.
•USA was and still is Israel's defender and lawyer. It uses Israel as a scarecrow in the region. Israel played the game. It couldn't avoid it.

Some tried to return their old towns& were killed by mobs or driven away by the "new" occupants of their house after the war was over.
I think that is sad how hilter did to all those people to try to conquer the world. I think none of this shouldn't have happened
