Just got back from a holiday in Morocco, and one thing stands out more than anything else the extraordinary 'brotherhood' feeling there is between the muslim and jewish citizens of morocco. In Casablanca i came across a great number of cafes where old muslim and jewish men would sit together over moroccan mint tea playing chess or chequers.

I always thought jews and arabs despised each other.
The Moroccan king's senior advisor, Andre Azoulay is jewish, the only jew in the arab or muslim world to hold such an important position.

On Hannukah the jewish citizens invite their muslim collegues to join in the festvities and this is also the case when Eid comes along.
I also found out that Morocco is home to dozens of burial sites to prominent jews which are visited by hundreds of thousands of jews from all over the world.

I never would have thought that id see jews being soo integrated in a muslim country taking into account the events in the mid east.


Morroco's different. If you go to Isreal then you'll see how much the Isreali's and the Palestineans hate each other.

Ah, you're one of those. Say hi to bin Laden for me.
Indeed, even Jimmy Carter is hiding out in one of those caves smoking sheesha with bin Laden.

That anti-Semite, him. :top:

EXACTLY.

The hatred exists only in Israel/Palestine. It's entirely political.

No their is no current conflict between jews and muslims in morocco!


Probably because the Moroccans drove 98% of their Jews into exile. :rolleyes:

He said there was no conflict between Jews and Muslims in Morocco. I proved that there clearly is conflict between them. I did not say that all Jews in Morocco hate all Muslims or vice versa, so your point, as usual, is inane.



You take one person's view on a matter as a fact and then try to refute it?

It's his opinion, based on what he has witnessed himself. What does that have to do with the decline in number of Jews in Morocco or whether or not there is conflict going on in other parts of the country?

My point isn't inane, your whole defensive strategy when it comes to this subject is just annoying/.

You've probably not even set foot in Morocco.

Are you serious? Anti-Semitism in the Muslim world is nearly universal...

Moroccans drove 98% of the jews to exile? LOOOLWhen the portuguese and spanish told the jews to f**k off, where did they come running to and were welcomed with open arms.

Which country refused to bow to hitler's demand by sending jews to europe and making them wear 'JUDEN' suits?.

Did you do history at school?

As far as I join Muslims fail to get on with anyone who isn't one of them.

Which is weird because most groups get on with nearly everyone.

Let me know what you actually want to discuss something instead of lying through your teeth.

You're totally correct. The fact that Morroco, which didn't exist as an independent state at the time, was relatively nice to Jews in 1492 means that Morocco was nice to Jews in the 20th century.

Erm, you do realize that Morocco was under the control of Vichy France and there were pogroms against Jews in Morocco at that time, right?

Do you study honesty?

Moroccan king nominated for Righteous Among Nations title

Head of Jewish community in Morocco says King Muhammad V saved Jews during World War II by resisting demands of ruling French regime, making him eligible for title

Heads of the Jewish community in Morocco have initiated a move calling for Muhammad V of Marocco, who was king during World War II, to be named Righteous Among the Nations for his efforts of saving the Jews of his country.


This initiative is being promoted by head of the Jewish community in Morocco, Serge Bardugo, who was recently appointed roaming ambassador by king Muhammad VI of Marocco..


Arriving in Israel earlier this week to attend President Shimon Peres' inauguration ceremony, Bardugo claimed he had testimonies of Jews who survived due to the king's decision not to implement the anti-Jewish race laws, or send Morocco's Jews to France, despite demands by Morocco's sovereign at the time, the pro-Nazi French government of Vichy.


By refusing the demands of the Vichy government, claimed Bardugo, the king risked his life, making him eligible for the title of Righteous Among the Nations.


The organization in charge of awarding such a title is the Public Committee for the Righteous Among the Nations, of Yad Vashem.


The committee is headed by a retired High Court justice, and it includes Holocaust survivors, legal experts and historians.


One of the criteria for receiving the title is the saving of Jews while risking ones life.


"Should we receive clear-cut evidence in the matter, it will be investigated and the proper decision will be made," Iris Rosenberg, Yad Vashem spokesperson, said Friday.


Naming the king Righteous Among the Nations, could have a great affect on Israeli-Moroccan relations, and as such, was endorsed by President Peres.

Thanks for proving that you can't read. I've already said that the Moroccan royal family is fairly progressive. And the fact that the king of Morocco was pro-Jewish in 1940 means little considering that Morocco was ruled by Vichy France.

Ah yes, because a Zionist is someone who supports Netanyahu. It explains why there were no Zionists before Netanyahu.
