Only a century ago, Yemen had a Jewish population of over 75,000. Today, there are 280 Jews living in Yemen, and 250 of them are planning to emigrate to Israel within days, after the murder of Jewish community leader Moshe Yaish al-Nahari, the brother of Chief Rabbi, Yahya Yaish, at the hands of a Muslim killer who warned him to convert to Islam or die. So, in just a century, Yemenite Arabs managed to reduce the Jewish population from 75000 to nothing. Ah, how well the Jews used to live under the “wise, just and kind “ Muslim rule.

In 1922, the government of Yemen reintroduced an ancient Islamic law that decreed that Jewish orphans under age 12 were to be converted to Islam. In 1947, after the partition vote, Muslim rioters, joined by the local police force, engaged in a bloody pogrom in Aden that killed 82 Jews and destroyed hundreds of Jewish homes. Aden's Jewish community was economically paralyzed, as most of the Jewish stores and businesses were destroyed. Early in 1948, looting occurred after six Jews were falsely accused of murdering two Arab girls. 50,000 Jews were forced out of Yemen in 1948. By 1959 over 3,000 Jews from Aden arrived in Israel, many more fled to the US and England. Today, there are no Jews in Aden. Today there are less than 300 Jews in Yemen, but they are held as hostages in dire condition, and not allowed to leave.

Islam always come down to the same old thing. Be like me or die. They can't win an argument about their false religion so killing is all they can figure out to do.

I did some study of my own and it seems that the jews living in Yemen had a pretty good life. They were considered to be the Upper Class folks. Of course the Jews in Palestine they will tell you that this wasn't so, but truth is when they forced them to leave Yemen, when they arrived in palestine the jews saw them skin color (black) and forced to work like trash-collectors, janitors or picking fruits at the greenhouses. If you ask me nothing the jews try to do works out well. They need our genes in order to survive. Steel
