The Arab states have never made any effort to compensate these Jews, who were absorbed by Israel. No, but the Jewish government has. Our government was forced to pay compensation to Iraqi Jews who were murdered and maimed in Iraqi synagouges as a ploy to get them to flee to Palestine... The suit was settled out of court to avoid embarassing attention the case could have garnered.The Jewish Arabs in Israel are a minority that suffers prejudices in many aspects of their daily lives. Culturally, they are Arabic and enjoyed better vocational opportunities in their former homeland. It is when they "moved" to Israel that prejudice welcomed them. They were brought here to fulfill a void in the cheap labor market as zionist were not fond of employing the gentile work force. That is the awful truth of the romantic ideals your post sets forth..
