Jewish Exodus from MENA countries

Since
1948, between 700,000 and 850,000 Jews who for generations had lived in
Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Yemen
and Sudan were expelled or fled after being conveniently despoiled.

Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco were the only countries that did not order the confiscation of their property or some economically sanction. In 2014 there are hardly any Jews in those countries.

In January 1948 the president of the World Jewish Congress, Dr.
Stephen Wise, sent an alarm call to the US Foreign Minister George
Marshall:

   Between 800,000 and one million Jews in the Middle East and North Africa are in danger of annihilation.

In May 1948 the New York Times remarked the words of  Wise and published an
article titled “Jews in grave danger in all Muslim lands: 900,000 in
Africa and Asia face the wrath of their enemies.”

Throughout
1947 and 1948, Jews living in Arab and Muslim Middle East and North
African countries were persecuted, their property and belongings
confiscated; also they were subjected to pogroms instigated by governments.

In Syria, for example, pogroms heavily punished Aleppo, and the government froze all Jewish bank accounts; the same happened in Yemen. In Egypt there were bombings in the Jewish neighborhoods; Morocco, Oujda and pogroms provoked the instant emigration of 8,000 Jews.

Libya attacks against Jews began three years before the establishment of the State of Israel. In
November 1945, more than 130 Jews, including 36 children, were killed,
hundreds were injured, 4,000 were displaced and 2,400 were left
homeless. Five synagogues in Tripoli and four in provincial towns were destroyed, and more than 1,000 Jewish homes and shops were looted. In 1948 they lived around 38,000 Jews in Libya. Today, none.

In
Iraq as in Libya, the harassment against Jews began before the birth of
Israel, the pro-Nazi government instigated the pogrom Fahud in 1941, with 180 death victims. In 1948 Zionism is declared a capital crime; in 1950 it was given one year to the Jews to leave the country. The properties of those who left were expropriated, and those who remained were subjected to economic constraints. The Jews of Iraq, a community of 2,500 year history, was decimated.

Of
the approximately 800,000 Jewish refugees between 1948 and 1972, more
than 200,000 went to Europe and the US, while 586,000 were absorbed by
Israel. None of them received compensation from countries that confiscated their property and expelled them.
