Iraqi Jews

Al-iraqi Al-hura Satellite TV channel had started a series of reports concerning the Iraqi Jews living in Israel. What is unique about these reports is that they are the first of their kind, as no Arabic or Iraqi station had refered to the subject of Iraqi Jews ever, the Iraqi Jews are one of the most sensitive topics in Iraq, one of largest markets in Iraq in the center of Baghdad trade market is called the Jew market ,it was the center of all the trade in Iraq till the beginning of the sixties of the last century, one of the biggest history and religion thinkers in Iraq is Ahmad Sosa he was a Jew and later became a Muslim.

And many so people and places in Iraq left to tell the story of a whole ethnic group which has been neglected for 40 years, even after 2003 and as we enter the new world of democracy we had not mention the rights of the Jews, as well as they never existed ,so it was a surprise for us when during the Iraqi elections in 2005, an Iraqi Jew traveled to Jordan to vote for the new Iraq.

The problem of the Iraqi Jews is that when they left a lote of their real states where taken over by al-Bath party and the government,a lot of it were transferred into the Iraqi government states, so after 2003 theses states became the new government share and as most of it had been sold to the public during the last 30 years, rising any discussion about the Iraqi Jews open the door for their states. And according to Iraqi laws any one had documents to prove it’s belonging to a real state can apply a case on the real states ownership conflicts institute, rumors of such cases in behave of some Jewish families was present in the newspapers but the government denied it.

The public considers that the Jews have no rights in Iraq as they sold every thing and left, but so did the Iranian Kurds and the Iranian Shias and they took over their states when Saddam regime ended, also the Kurds are using hundred of years documents to prove their rights in Kirkuk. So why we denied the right of an Iraqi origin ethnic group? Because they went to Israel, what about those who left Iraq from other ethnicities from the opposition and went to Iran, the country we entered 10 years war with it and most of those Iraqis were soldier in special unite fighting Iraqi army with Iran. Also what about our leaders how enter with USA army? During the ex-regime all those were considered as enemies, so why it is ok for them to ask for their rights?

I am not in favor of any religion to another, but I really believe in my right to live in democracy, pluralism, and I had the same problem with the rights of Christian, Turkmen, Armenians, shabak (people with Sunni and shia parents), sabees, and every one who thing he had suffered injustice and prejudges, I will later write about the suffering of Iraqi Palestinians, and the humanitarian crisis they live in Iraq.

The rights to live, find your rights and receive the justice you deserve is every man’s rights, by holy laws and human laws ,we had no right to ask for certain rights of some ethnic groups because they had majority or influence or can bomb the cars in streets if we neglected them, this is not justice and sure had no relation to co-existence.
