Lyn Julius is the author of “Uprooted: How 3,000 Years of Jewish Civilization in the Arab World Vanished Overnight” (Vallentine Mitchell, 2018).

The international community’s wish to prevent the looting of ancient artifacts is understandable, but shouldn’t apply in the case of the Middle East’s persecuted Jewish communities.
Post- and anti- Zionists academics continue to ignore what most Jews raised in Arab countries say and feel, as “discrimination” against Mizrahim serves as a useful stick for bashing Zionism.
Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour sees itself as the party of the downtrodden and the abused; in truth, it champions the abusers.
Israel represents the return to self-determination of an indigenous Middle Eastern people after centuries of subjugation and colonization.
Wherever the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, went, persecution and mayhem against the local Jews followed.
The “right of return” is possibly the single greatest obstacle to peace. It is a fictitious right in international law, a ruse to reverse Israel’s victory in the 1948 war by demographic means.
A new subculture, fostered in large part due to social media, is driven by revulsion at Islamist terrorism, fear of Iran and its nuclear designs, and recognition of the Holocaust.
Pre-colonial relations between “dhimmi” Jews and Muslims were unequal, often tense and fearful.
Progressives (and not just in the United States) think that the two-state solution would fulfill Palestinian aspirations.
From an early stage in the conflict, the United Nations was co-opted by the powerful Arab-Muslim voting bloc to skew its mandate and defend the rights of only one refugee population: the Palestinians. Not one concerned Jewish refugees.
Hardly a day goes by without another shocking revelation of British Labour Party leaderJeremy Corbyn’s past associations with racists and terrorist enablers. But little has been said about the intellectual underpinnings of the ideological worldview he has clung to for 40 years.
France does not want to admit that its terrorism problem has ideological roots. It prefers to blame economic grievances, despair or mental illness.
