Advocate for compensation for those Jews who were forced out of the Arab and Islamic world and whose property was taken.

Created by J.W. on November 13, 2012

In the second half of the Twentieth Century, hundreds of thousands of Jews were forced out of the Arab and Islamic world, where they had lived for hundreds of years, because of their ethnic and religious identity. These people were generally forced to abandon their property, "donate" it to the state, or to sell it at severe discounts. No compensation has been offered to these people or to their descendants. It is time to fairly compensate them for their losses. It was not America who benefited from the seizure of their property, so it should not be America which compensates them. But it is America's role, as a beacon of fairness and human rights, to advocate assertively for their fair compensation.
