Uh, why don’t these people realize that Yemeni Jews don’t have much to do with the massacre in Gaza?
What, do they think one act of idiocy justifies another? Doesn’t our religion teach that only the guilty should be held accountable? I’m gonna log this one under “stupid juice” because they’ve been drinking gobs of it!
Sheesh! May God protect them as well as the Muslims who have their backs.
Yemeni Jews on receiving end as relocation plan flops
The government has assured them that their houses and properties will be safe, but also added, “it’s up to you to decide if you want to sell them.”
Their Muslim neighbours who came to see them off expressed sadness to see their fellow Jewish neighbours of so many years leaving.
“I’m very sad to see my Jewish friends leaving, they were always nice to us and we were also good to them,” said Qasem Hussain.
“There are bad and good people everywhere, and the ones who have been threatening to kill the Jews do not represent us. Those are just criminals,” said Hussain.
Saleh Meftah, a 60-year-old Muslim, said he was ready to protect the Jews who do not want to be moved to Sana’a. “They are our neighbours, and they are Yemenis who have been living here for many years. We are sad to see them leaving, but if anyone wants to stay, we will stand by him and protect him,” said Meftah.

It’s disgraceful that some people are willing to lash out at innocents, Jews who are living in Muslims countries have been living there for generations, many fled from persecution in Nazi Germany and they are grateful to Muslims for granting them sanctuary. It is heart-warming to see that their neighbours are making a stand to protect their life and property but I think the government and other organisations should do more.

Insha’Allah, they will. I’m really sick of these extremists. They are ruining these ties that used to be very strong among Jews, Christians and Muslims. Maybe they don’t have the courage or intellect to lash out at those who are the real cause for this latest madness in Gaza.
