Europeans?

Jay1, don't forget that a slight majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahis, who would be doubly Semitic in Europe (the historical languages of many of these people were Judaeo-Arabic and Judaeo-Berber dialects) and mere step-off-the-sidewalk-and-submit-to-your-daughters-being-abducted Dhimmi fourth-class citizens in much of the Arab world.

While I am a Jew only by Nazi law, and a non-Dispensational Christian by conviction, I believe it is a screaming travesty that the Middle East refugee problem is so simplistically presented as so many European refugees displacing the Falastin Arabs, and not a word is said about the uprooting of Middle Eastern and North African Jewish communities whose history began before the ink on several original manuscripts of certain books of the Old Testament was dry.
