Jewish In Iraq -Today is Sabbath, Tomorrow is Sunday

Before 1948, the year at which the state of Israel was declared; Jewish used to live in Iraq, 1/3 the population of Baghdad were Jewish, most of them were rich and famous families, Iraq's first minister of finance Yehezkel Sasson was a Jew, many Iraqis regard him as the best finance Minister that have ever come to Iraq, but that didn't prevent the sectarian abuse and in many times physical violence against them. Until 1948, the government of Iraq and every Arabic country gave the Jewish a matter of weeks before leaving Iraq and Arabic Countries, but to where? That is their problem!

Fatwa"Islamic commands announced by a Muslim Religious leader" prohibited buying anything from any Jewish. More extreme Fatwa, gave Muslims permission to take over Jewish's houses and properties. As a result of these Fatwas, Many Jewish were forced to leave everything behind them, their houses, Jeweleries, Money, even their clothes, because nobody bought anything from the Jews -since it was prohibited by Fatwa- and they were not allowed to take anything with them.

A friend of My grandfather was a Jew, few days before leaving Iraq for good, he told my grandfather "Today is Sabbath -Saturday-, Tomorrow is Sunday"; neither my grandfather nor my father and my uncle whom were with my grandfather at that moment listening to the Jew's words, understood what did the Jew mean?. of course, at that time my father and Uncle were just little kids.

My Grandfather died and yet he didn't understand those words...it was till 2003, until my father did understand those words....Yes that is it, "Saturday or Sabbath" refers to the Jewish people in Iraq, "Sunday" refers to the Christians. "Today" refers to the present day at that time it was 1948, "Tomorrow" refers to the future. Christians are now facing the same situation the Jewish faced in 1948, Christians are being forced to leave their houses or convert to Islam, their Churches got burned and bombed.

Ironically, the "false" excuse for the expulsion of the Jewish from Iraq, was the declaration of Israel which was performed by jewish people; Nowadays, the excuse for the expulsion of Christians from Iraq, is the Anti-Terrorism War led by US which is according the Islamic scope a Christian Nation. The jewish paid severely for actions committed by Jewish-Israels, and Now Christians are paying for actions committed and still being committed by "US Christians" - according to Muslims
