Jews from Baghdad “were expelled to Palestine” by Iraqi PM
In addition to Arab leaders' responsibility for hundreds of thousands of Arabs leaving Israel after Israel's creation, Arab leaders also expelled hundreds of thousands of Jews from their homes in Arab countries. The following excerpt from the PA daily recounts the expulsion of Jews from Iraq.
“Not far from the [Baghdad Medical City] morgue lies the ‘Al-Bataween’ neighborhood, parallel to Al-Saadoun Street, which was built at the beginning of the last century and has become one of the finest neighborhoods in the city center. Most of its residents had been Jews, before they were expelled to Palestine at the time of [Iraqi Prime Minister] Nuri Al-Said, after which it acquired a Christian majority.”
