Talk:History of the Jews in Iraq

message: This article should include additional information regarding the cultural impacts of Jewish migration away from Iraq. In particular, it can examine items such as laffa, an Israeli flatbread nicknamed Iraqi pita due to its roots in Iraq. Laffa was brought to Israel by Jewish Iraqi migrants in the 1950s.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oliverzhang29 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

message: The intro says that , "the Persians persecuted the Iraqi Jews". This is arab nationalist propoganda. The Persians always gave their Jewish populations equal rights and freedom. I want to see evidence and the proper link that supports this false claim. It just doesn't make any sense. Why would PERSIANS be persecuting Iraqi (Arab) Jews. We have always had a large Iranian Jewish population, if we were going to "persecute" anyone it would be in our own country. Therefore I am removing the false claims.

thread_title: False information

message: The current language reads: However, as a consequece of world tribulations of the time which came to influce politics in Iraq, and following the end of the British mandate, the situation of the Jews in Iraq changed in the 1930s  I think that we can do a better job explaining the reason for this.
Al-Andalus rightly pointed out that in the 1920s and before, Arab nationalism was inclusive, but, tragicly for Iraqi Jews, that started to change in the 1930s due to a number of factors.  An excellent summary is given in Simon's Rethinking Arab Nationalism (Columbia University Press), from the section on Iraq: "The distinctions made by early Arab nationalists between the Jewish religion and political Zionism began to blur in the 1930s, especially after 1936 with the infiltration of Nazi propaganda, and when Iraqi support for Palestinian Arabs coalesced with its pan-Arab foreign policy."  (p 102) Simon then goes on to explain how Iraqi Jews were then required to make statements of loyalty, and how Iraq forbade the teaching of Jewish history or Hebrew.  The account then discusses how the Farhud became the turning point for Iraqi Jews, afterwards, many became Zionists (though they still had to denounce Zionism to graduate from school, etc), or joined the Communist Party or liberal opposition groups.
So, I would propose changing the existing sentence to this: In the 1930s, the situation of the Jews in Iraq worsened.  Previosuly, the growing Iraqi Arab nationalist sentiment included Iraqi Jews as fellow Arabs, but these views changed with the introduction of Nazi propaganda and the ongoing conflict in the Palestinian Mandate.  Despite protestations of their loyalty to Iraq, Iraqi Jews were increasingly subject to discrimination and harsh laws. Then we can use the existing language about the events of 1934 and the Farhud.  --Goodoldpolonius2 16:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm quite happy with that wording. It sets out the truth as it is, makes no other implications, and retains the essence of my edit with the only difference being that your edition is specific. My only complaint is with the word "worsened". For things to have "worsened" they must have already been quite bad, which is a notion which all accounts disagree with; most of all the elevated position of Iraqi Jews, and the testimony of Iraqi Jews themselves prior to all the changes due to world politics (which was a tragedy). I would stil favour "changed". Al-Andalus 04:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: While the following is sourced from a Zionist "anti-Mizrahi" article (http://www.meforum.org/article/707 "Post-Zionism and the Sephardi Question
by Meyrav Wurmser"), I will quote an excerpt because it deals with the error of introducing the interpretation of merit of Iraqi Jewish identity, evolution and self-determination in the context of European Jewish Zionism, a context alien to non-European Jewry. (I refer to the paragraph which SlimVirgin has pinted out, even though it has already been discussed previously , but is continously reverted into the article). While the author of my source is obviously sympathetic to the Zionist version of history, and ultemately concludeds on the Zionist account, he nonetheless does not negate undeaniable truths and historical facts of the Mizrahi. At the same time, I post link of another source that counters the non-factual elements of Meyrav Wurmser article (http://www.ha-keshet.org.il/articles.asp?article_id=442 "How To Assassinate a Sephardi 101: The Calumnies of Meyrav Wurmser").
----
"The Mizrahi academic embrace of post-Zionism is an attempt to address a broader, genuine problem. Post-Zionist Mizrahi writers present a compelling account of the systematic economic and ethnic discrimination that they personally, their families, and Mizrahi Jews in general have faced since the establishment of Israel to the present day. They provide evidence of discrimination and racist attitudes beginning with the early years of statehood. For example, in 1949, Ashkenazi journalist Aryeh Gelblum wrote the following about the arriving Mizrahi immigrants:
*This is the immigration of a race we have not yet known in the country. We are dealing with people whose primitivism is at a peak, whose level of knowledge is one of virtually absolute ignorance and, worse, who have little talent for understanding anything intellectual. Generally, they are only slightly better than the general level of the Arabs, Negroes, and Berbers in the same regions. In any case, they are at an even lower level than what we know with regard to the former Arabs of Israel. These Jews also lack roots in Judaism, as they are totally subordinated to savage and primitive instincts. As with Africans you will find among them gambling, drunkenness, and prostitution ... chronic laziness and hatred for work; there is nothing safe about this asocial element. [Even] the kibbutzim will not hear of their absorption.[13]
Gelblum was not alone. Post-Zionist Mizrahim quote one of Israel's leading intellectuals in the 1950s, Karl Frankenstein, a celebrated professor at Hebrew University and the man considered the father of the Israeli education system. Frankenstein expressed outright racist attitudes towards Mizrahim, writing, "We have to recognize the primitive mentality of many of the immigrants from backward countries."[14] He further suggested that Mizrahi Jews have the mentality of primitive people who are somewhat mentally disturbed.[15] Israeli sociologist Yosef Gross argued in the early 1950s that Mizrahi immigrants suffered from "mental regression."[16] One of the worst examples of the anti-Mizrahi discrimination involves The Ashkenazi Revolution published in 1964 by writer Kalman Katzenelson in which the author argues that the Mizrahim suffer from irreversible genetic inferiority that endangers the superiority of the Ashkenazi-Zionist state. He called for the establishment of an apartheid regime that, among other limitations, would abolish their political rights. He also objected to mixed marriages and demanded the prohibition of the Hebrew language because it resembled Arabic too greatly. Instead he demanded that Yiddish become the national language because of its supreme Germanic origins. His book was a bestseller until Ben-Gurion banned it.[17]
The sentiments expressed by these intellectuals, the Mizrahi post-Zionists argue, were not uncommon. There were racist attitudes toward the Mizrahi Jews even among the highest political levels. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion described the Mizrahi immigrants as lacking even "the most elementary knowledge" or "a trace of Jewish or human education."[18] Furthermore, he said, "We do not want Israelis to become Arabs. We are bound by duty to fight against the spirit of the Levant that corrupts individuals and society."[19] Likewise, Abba Eban, one of Israel's most eloquent diplomats, noted that "one of the great apprehensions which afflict us is the danger of the predominance of immigrants of Oriental origin forcing Israel to equalize its cultural level with that of the neighboring world."[20] In 1949, Shoshana Frasitz, a member of the Knesset, said of the Mizrahim, "You know that we have no common language with them. Our cultural level does not fit with their level; their lifestyle is the lifestyle of the middle ages."[21] Nachum Goldman, chairman of the Jewish Agency and president of the World Zionist Organization in the late 1940s and 1950s, said, "A Jew from Eastern Europe is worth twice as much as a Jew from Kurdistan," and continued, "We should return a hundred thousand of the Jews of the East to their countries of origin."[22] Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir once asked, "Shall we be able to elevate these immigrants to a suitable level of civilization?"[23]'
The current clique of radical post-Zionist Mizrahim argues that such attitudes have not disappeared from Israel. Even as late as 1983, for example, the left-wing liberal and Palestinian-rights advocate, Shulamit Aloni, who headed the Citizens' Rights party and served as a member of the Knesset, denounced the Mizrahim as "barbarous tribal forces" who were "driven like a flock to the sound of tom-toms … chanting like a savage tribe."[24] In the same year, the celebrated Ashkenazi columnist Amnon Dankner raised the possibility of an Ashkenazi-Mizrahi cultural war in Ha'aretz:
*This will not be a war among brothers … [because] these are not my brothers … The sticky blanket of "Jewish love and brotherhood" is thrown on my head and I am asked to be considerate of the [Mizrahi] cultural deficit and the authentic feelings of discrimination. My blood boils when I hear those hypocritical calls. They put me in a cage with a baboon running amok and then they tell me: "Okay, now you are together and begin a dialogue.…" Now I want to tell you that I am tired of empathizing and understanding. I have heard all the stories about discrimination, the social-economic gap, the feelings of frustration, the DDT and the maabarot. [I am told that] we [the Ashkenazim] have Heine, Freud, Einstein, and the wonderful synthesis between Judaism and Western culture, but the [Mizrahim] also have some wonderful things: hospitality, respect for mother and father, and a wonderful patriarchal tradition. … For me, however, they are not among the traits that I wish to see in the society that my spiritual fathers and I dreamed about establishing here: an exemplary and modern society laced with the most beautiful visions of humanistic liberalism. [Still] the advocates of Jewish love and brotherhood say, "Do not call them [the Mizrahim] Khomeini-like or primitive. It makes them even angrier.'[25]
These anti-Mizrahi attitudes, argue the post-Zionist Mizrahim, exist in the depiction of Mizrahim in movies, literary works, and especially, the media. They quote the findings of researcher Eli Avraham who investigated the media portrayal of the Mizrahim in the 1980s and 1990s. He found a number of recurring themes were associated with the Mizrahim. Those included violence, crime, and social unrest; unseemliness and neglect; limited future prospects; a herd mentality, and ethnically-determined political identity; an inability to be "like us [Ashkenazim]; and a syndrome of ‘primitivism.'"[26]
While anti-Mizrahi attitudes are a legitimate concern, for radical post-Zionist writers, the problem does not end with the racism of some of Israel's founding fathers, politicians, and intellectuals. For them, the core issue is economic and social discrimination. In the 1970s, the Mizrahi Black Panther movement emerged to address economic and social discrimination through violent protests. Prime Minister Golda Meir ordered a brutal crackdown on the movement, which took its revolutionary outlook from the African American struggle in the United States and Marxist movements in Latin America. Radical post-Zionists believe that socioeconomic discrimination continues to exist, and they see it as the key factor that has led the Mizrahim to vote in droves since 1988 for the religious Mizrahi party Shas."

message: "The community thrived as the center of Jewish learning until the Middle Ages, when the Mongol invasion, and the subsequent persecutions of the Persians and Ottomans, significantly reduced its importance"</br>
This content is in the introduction of the article. Though it is obviously incorrect to enumerate the Ottomans (were they just assumed to have persecuted and opressed beacuse they were Muslims, which is the modern-day stereotype) as opressors or persecutors of their subject of the Jewish faith, I haven't deleted it becuase I know Jayjg simply reverts any edits implemented by me, even if they are to introduce a consensus previously reached. I know I don't even need sources to convice people of this. It is in fact under these Muslims Ottomans that we saw the greatest acceptance and prospering during the Diapora. I am requesting any other user do the edit to reflect that reality, preferably an administrator. Thank you. Al-Andalus 06:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is actually a bit complicated, though I agree the present phrasing is wrong.  The Mongols really destroyed the Jewish community in Iraq, the Persians were little better, and the Ottomans were welcomed,  their victory over the Persians 1678 was actually celebrated as a "day of miracles" by the Jews of Iraq.  The community generally propered under Ottoman rule (though it was no longer anywhere near the size or importance it was before the Mongol conquest), but occasionly suffered pretty nasty abuses, see, for example, Daoud Pasha in the 19th century. Let mw see what I can do to make this a bit clearer.--Goodoldpolonius2 01:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Number of Jews in Iraq 

message: The article says that after the Mongol invasion the Iraqi Jewish community later has largelry consisted on migrant population from Aleppo.
The truth is that most of the Jews who lived in Southern and Central Iraq until recently are actually largely descendants of the Jews who remained in Iraq after the Mongol invasion but they have adopted the Sephardic rite in the 18th century under the leadership of  Rabbi Sadaka Husin from Aleppo who settled in Baghdad after the Jewish community there asked from him to lead the community because all the rabbis of Baghdad died from a disaese and THIS IS the reason that Iraqi Jews cannot being regarded as continuous with the Babylonian tradition of Talmudic or Geonic times, but are a variant of those of Middle Eastern Jewry generally.
There are some migrants from Aleppo, Assyria and Iran but most of the Jews who lived in Iraq are for most part the descendants people who remained after the Mongol invasion, i myself belong to the Uzair family who are descendants of Ezra and lives in Iraq for more than two thousands of years.
Now for the second thing.
The dialect of the Iraqi Jews differs than the Muslim one because of migration of Arabian tribes from the Arabian peninsula that intermarriaged with the survivng Muslim population of Lower Mesopotamia after the Mongol invasion, as a result the gilit dialect was born as a bedouin influx of Mesopotamian Arabic, Iraqi Judeo-Arabic is similar to the pre-Mongol Southern and Central Iraq as well as Khuzestan province and Eastern Syria dialects and the present day Northern Iraq, Northeastern Syria and Southeastern Turkey dialects, The Jewish dialects maintain much more native Mesopotamian influences (such as Babylonian, Akkadian, etc) than the gilit dialect (or Muslim dialect)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by(talk • contribs) 21:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistakes about the Iraqi Jewish community 

message: During the British Mandate and through the Hashemite Period, the ability of urban Jewish populations in Iraq to receive a western, multilingual education made them apt candidates for positions in the ministries and administrative bodies of Iraq. Iraq's first minister of finance, Sir Sassoon Eskell, was a Jew, and Jews were important in developing the judicial and postal systems. Records from the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce show that 10 out of its 19 members in 1947 were Jews and the first musical band formed for Baghdad's nascent radio in the 1930s consisted mainly of Jews. Jews were represented in the Iraqi parliament, and many Jews held significant positions in the bureaucracy, which often led to resentment by the Muslim population.
Also during the Mandate and Hashemite periods, Iraqi Jewish society underwent a process of secularization. Partially due to a secular education’s ability to provide a stable income in the government or in law, and also because of the Iraqi Jewish community’s rise in secular power. This coincided with a decline in prominence of the rabbinical leadership in Iraq, which younger secular Jews criticized as outdated, narrow-minded and conservative.Bashkin, Orit.
