Tiesitkö, että Bagdadin asukkaista aikoinaan 40% oli juutalaisia?

Vietiin sinne orjina ja juutalaisviha näkyy arabimaissa edelleen. Nyt ne vaan halutaan sieltä pois, joka on tehokkaasti tapahtunutkin. 

But Jewish roots in Iraq go back some 2,600 years.

According to biblical tradition, they arrived in 586 BC as prisoners of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II after he destroyed Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.

In Iraq, they wrote the Babylonian Talmud on the very land where the patriarch Abraham was born and where the Garden of Eden is considered by some to have been located, in the heart of the Mesopotamian marshlands.

More than 2,500 years later, in Ottoman-ruled Baghdad, Jews were the second largest community in the city, making up 40 percent of its inhabitants.
