Read better, see better

It was not persecution. You seem to put it on thick. I said that my father was ordered. He was a policeman and cannot decline his orders. The orders were to harrass the Jews and the Administaration then was British. It is history not psychology that is at work here.

The jews did not exist in the middle East but only after the 9th century BC. Ibraham of Ur was the one who built The Holy Shrine of Mecca and fathered Ismael. This what the Holy Book says. But have you been to the British museum to see Shalmanser III Stela. My house in Iraq was by the Mound of nibeveh and I have read and seen tablets in cuniform which prove that the Jews didn't exist in the year 2500 BC. Now you try to falsify history but I can bring further evidence on that. Jeho is seen kneelin and kissing Shalmenser's feet in balwat also. That time even Israel was pagan. The practices of Ebla are very much related to Babylonia, Mary and Akkad than to the rather sporadic conglomeration of Jewish tribes you now try to present as a Nation.

Your ignorance of history is flagrant. I hereby refer you to reference on Mesopotamian history . One reference is Grayson's Assyrian Inscriptions. We know that even Tiglathpeliser I or Pulu who is mentioned in the Old Testement belong to the middle Assyrian period and that even Ur where I used to climb the wall of the Ship-like Abraham's house (reconstructed by the Great Saddam Hussein) belong to the second millionium not to the third. I warn you half-wit that you are addressing someone who knows very well of his homeland, religion and history. History which is to you a concept, to the Jews a fabrication, to US our very breath and blood. I still remember the gaze of Bremer at the phonecian necklace our great grandfathers had brought from the Ugarit with the Queen and all her possessions. What a miss! saddam had removed the treasure out of the hands of thieves and hooligans, and now these wretched... cannot steal or take to jerusalem or to New york to claim a history not their own and property not their right...

As for the Jews who enjoyed Islamic tolerance, I refer you to read history properly. Franz Rozenthal and Maxim Rodenson are among reference you can consult. You may also read Jewish scholars on this particular issue as Ignaz Goldizeher. Then you can come back to me with a much more open mind,if not as such a heart..
