In response to A key point missing in the anti-semitism debate

More on the anti-semitism debate

In response to David Macilwain. This is interesting to me, as I recently was challenged by someone - a Trump supporter - telling me that the Moroccans had expelled the Jews, so I read up about that. I found that, on the contrary, they had been a valuable part of society, and still are. When Israel was first established many left to go there to be a part of a new exciting country, expecting to be a part of its development in the same way they were used to in Morocco, only to find they were discriminated against, with a strike in 1959 against the Ashkenasi Jews who had not welcomed them at all.
