Ridding Yemen of its Jewish community

0-years-old, was a national artifact.

It is unclear how many Jews remain in Yemen today. In 2017, the country’s information minister said his government was unaware of the fate of the country’s few dozen remaining Jews, most of whom reside in the Houthi-controlled capital of Sana’a.

The Houthis, who are aligned with Iran, view the tiny remaining Jewish population as an enemy and are engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing that includes ridding Yemen of its Jewish community, he said at the time.

According to the Asharq Al-Awsat report, there are now just four Jews left in Yemen, all of whom are senior citizens.

Some 49,000 Yemeni Jews were brought to the nascent State of Israel in Operation Magic Carpet in 1949-50.

It's the great unspoken reverse side of the Palestine coin: the hundreds of thousands of Jews expelled from Arab countries, unmourned, uncelebrated, with – unlike the Palestinians – no UN agency employing over 30,000 people specifically devoted to their cause, and their status as permanent refugees.
