Hamas invaded Israel 2023

Right, but how much is that from Muslim countries "pushing" Jews out and how much is it from the local Jews saying "Waitwhat? There's a new Jewish country right next door I can move to and gain immediate citizenship? Sign me up!".

It was mostly the latter.

Ok... so replace "Jews" with any other group in the world, and pretend you aren't a bigot for saying what you said.

I'd like to really drill down on this one.

If the CAF made homosexuals uncomfortable, but the CCG was welcoming to them, would that make the actions of the CAF acceptable?

If the British made life intolerable for the Acadians, but left a door open for them to leave for Louisiana, would that be acceptable?

If Israel made being Muslim impossible under their laws, but there were other close by Muslim countries of the unwanted people to move to, would that be cool?

How much bigotry is acceptable, when the group being discriminated against is unpopular?

You clearly missed further discussion on this point, and you clearly have some strong feelings about this, but facts don't care about your feelings. The claim, even by insinuation if not down right stated, is that Muslim countries kicked out their jewish populations. That's not what happened, and that's all my post is declaring.

I have talked to a number of people who's Jewish families came from Muslim countries, the rise in Israel and successfully defending itself, along with Arab anti-Jewish propaganda meant that it was no longer safe in those countries to be Jewish. It was not really voluntarily and the majority had to abandon everything but what they could carry. Leaving their ancestral homeland meant losing everything and starting over again.
