ANOTHER OBAMA OMISSION: HE FORGOT THAT JEWS WERE EXPELLED FROM ARAB NATIONS

NYTIMES OP-ED:

... for all the president’s talk of “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world” and shared “principles of justice and progress,” neither he nor anyone around him, and certainly no one in the audience, bothered to notice one small detail missing from the speech: he forgot me.

The president never said a word about me. Or, for that matter, about any of the other 800,000 or so Jews born in the Middle East who fled the Arab and Muslim world or who were summarily expelled for being Jewish in the 20th century.

... Mr. Obama never said anything about those Jews whose ancestors had been living in Arab lands long before the advent of Islam but were its first victims once rampant nationalism swept over the Arab world.

Nor did he bother to mention that with this flight and expulsion, Jewish assets were — let’s call it by its proper name — looted.

Mr. Obama never mentioned the belongings I still own in Egypt and will never recover. My mother’s house, my father’s factory, our life in Egypt, our friends, our books, our cars, my bicycle.

THE JEWS WHO WERE EXPELLED FROM ARABIA ARE INCONVENIENT TRUTH FOR OBAMA AND THE MUSLIMS.

IF ARABS WHO LEFT ISRAEL ARE GOING TO BE COMPENSATED AS THE RESULT OF ANY "PEACE DEAL", THEN THESE 800,000 JEWS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED, TOO.
