The article published in this blog a few days ago, entitled " Egypt’s Forgotten Jewish Legacy" is not accidental. We are seeing in the press, more and more, various editorials regarding the 'loss' of Jews from Arab lands, Jewish refugees from Arab lands that were forgotten, and some venturing to ask for restitution for these refugees. In the more right wing articles dealing with the same subject, the obvious comes to the surface: Palestinian refugees should not be discussed without the mention of those 800,000 Jews that were displaced in the mid-twentieth century.
Primo: I am wondering if André Aciman, who is quoted several times in said article, has ever heard of an organization called WOJAC. I will go on the assumption that he hasn't, because had the alternative been the case, he would most likely have remained silent on this subject. For those who don't know about WOJAC, I will make it very simple, short and sweet. The acronym stands for World Organization of Jews from Arab Countries...so, JIMENA and JJAC, there is absolutely nothing new that you are doing which has not been attempted before.
