The trustees of the Asper Foundation took up his idea after his death and enabled me to pur- sue it by making available the resources of the Foundation. Their enthusiasm, and that of Moses Levy, Executive Director, and Jeffrey Morry, Senior Program Manager, of the Asper Foundation, has been a constant support. At no point has the Asper Foundation sought editorial control. Throughout the course of my writing, the sustained encourage- ment and support of Sir Ronald Cohen and Sir Harry Solomon, two special friends, has meant a great deal to me, and has considerably enhanced the book. They have been an inspiration to me in telling this much- neglected story. My publisher, McClelland & Stewart of Toronto, has been support- ive from the outset. I am grateful to the company and its staff, and to Doug Pepper, Susan Renouf, Marilyn Biderman, Aruna Dahanayake, Anne Holloway and Chris Bucci, for helping produce this volume to the highest standards. My Canadian literary agent and friend, Michael Levine, has been a font of encouragement. Roy Bishko made an important contribution toward the preparation of the maps. The car- tographer Tim Aspden, with his usual skill and patience, has turned my rough drafts into maps of the highest quality. I am grateful above all to those Jews, born in Muslim lands, who have helped me with my search for material and encouraged me in my task, among them: Dr. Ada Aharoni, Lord Alliance, Mordechai Ben- Porat, Mordechai Bibi, Samuel J. Cohen, Dr. Naim E. Dangoor GGilb_9780771033698_4p_all_r1.inddilb_9780771033698_4p_all_r1.indd xxiviv 33/16/10/16/10 44:06:06 PPMM OBE, Ellis Douek, Bertha Fattal, Shahnaz Keypour Feinstein, Robert Khalifa, Marc Khedr, Raphael N.

Silver, Julian Sofaer, Eli Timan, Edna Turner (Anzarut), Suzy Vidal (Sultana Latifa), Regina Waldman (Bulbil), Ovadia Yerushalmy, Levana Zamir and Aida Zelouf. The literature on the history of Jews in Arab and Muslim lands is vast. Books and articles, academic volumes and personal memoirs, have explored every one of the fourteen countries involved. They have also explored the themes that recur throughout the story of the age- old relationship of Jews and Muslims. I have tried to do justice to this large body of published work, without which no book can be written on the subject. The bibliography in this book refl ects my own indebtedness, and that of the reader. I am also indebted to those historians without whose pioneering work this book could not have been written, in particular: Michel Abitbol, Mark R. Cohen, W.J. Fischel, S.D. Goitein, H.Z. Hirschberg, David Levering Lewis, Maurice M. Roumani, Robert Satloff and Norman A. Stillman. Important suggestions as to form and content have been made by David Matas, Allan Levine and Stanley Urman. Many people have sent me material or put me in touch with those who could. I would like to thank in particular: Hilary E. Appell, L.L. Amior, Barbara Barnett, Daniel Behar, Emily Blanck, David Cohen, Mark Durie, Oded Eran, Dan Gillerman, Nayim Güleryüz, Danna Harman, Rabbi Aubrey Hersh, General J.F.R.

I am grate- ful to Bat Ye’or, Andrew G. Bostom and David Littman for patiently answering my queries about their work. Judy Feld Carr talked to me about her efforts to free the Jews of Syria. Professor Paul Fenton GGilb_9780771033698_4p_all_r1.inddilb_9780771033698_4p_all_r1.indd xxvv 33/16/10/16/10 44:06:06 PPMM translated for me Abraham ibn Ezra’s ode on the Almohad persecu- tions. Professor Etan Kohlberg gave me the benefi t of his extensive knowledge of early Islam. For allowing me to use photographs in their collections, I am grateful to Beth Hatefutsoth Photo Archive, the Nahum Goldman Museum of the Diaspora, Tel Aviv; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Ada Aharoni, Gourji C. Bekhor, Naim Dangoor and Maurice Roumani.

  • Muslim Antisemitism and the Conspiracy of Silence / Neil J
    Additional Praise for “The Sons of Pigs and Apes” “Although Neil Kressel’s magisterial essay is primarily addressed at those in the West who pretend that antisemitism is no more than a tragic memory, it is also of great value for those Muslims who dream of, and increasingly fight for, a free society. Kressel’s message is clear: fighting anti-Jewish ideas and practices must be an integral part of any strategy for freedom in Muslim countries.” —Amir TAheri, AuThor of The Persian nighT “Shines new light on antisemitism in the Muslim world, and shows how hatred of the Jewish people remains a potent—even deadly—force in modern times. Kressel ably distinguishes between legitimate criticism of Israel and antisemitism and debunks the false accusation that the Jewish community wields the charge of antisemitism as a bludgeon to quash anti-Israel criticism.” ––AbrAhAm h. foxmAn, nationAl direcTor, AnTi-defAmation leAgue “Many books have recently been written about Islamic antisemitism, but none is as precise, scrupulous, and well-informed as Neil Kressel’s ‘The Sons of Pigs and Apes,’ which is a thorough unmasking of some disgraceful attitudes, and of the widespread failure to confront them.” —irfAn KhAwAjA, chAir, depArTmenT of philosophy, feliciAn college “An important but disquieting book. Neil Kressel’s skill as a social scientist is manifest throughout the work and his arguments persuasive. To cure a malaise one must first confront its symptoms and seek their underlying causes.

  • Geoffrey Best
    GEOFFREY BEST Geoffrey Francis Andrew Best 20 November 1928 – 14 January 2018 elected Fellow of the British Academy 2003 by BOYD HILTON Fellow of the Academy Restless and energetic, Geoffrey Best moved from one subject area to another, estab- lishing himself as a leading historian in each before moving decisively to the next. He began with the history of the Anglican Church from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, then moved by turns to the economy and society of Victorian Britain, the history of peace movements and the laws of war, European military history and the life of Winston Churchill. He was similarly peripatetic in terms of institutional affili- ation, as he moved from Cambridge to Edinburgh, then Sussex, and finally Oxford. Although his work was widely and highly praised, he remained self-critical and could never quite believe in his own success. Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XIX, 59–84 Posted 28 April 2020. © British Academy 2020. GEOFFREY BEST Few historians write their autobiography, but since Geoffrey Best did A Life of Learning must be the starting-point for any appraisal of his personal life.1 It is a highly readable text—engaging, warm-hearted and chatty like the man himself—but inevit- ably it invites interrogation. For example, there is the problem of knowing when the author is describing how he felt on past occasions and when he is ruminating about those feelings in retrospect. In the latter mode he writes that he has ‘never ceased to be surprised by repeatedly discovering how ignorant, wrong and naïve I have been about people and institutions, and still am’ (p.

  • Illustrated History Atlas Martin Gilbert Preface
    JERUSALEM Illustrated History Atlas Martin Gilbert Preface In this Atlas, I trace the history of Jerusalem from biblical times to the present day. Each map is illustrated by a facing page of prints or photographs. The sixty-six maps, taken together, are intended to provide a broad survey of Jerusalem's history, with special emphasis on the City's development during the last hundred and fifty years, when it grew from a remote and impoverished provincial town of the Ottoman Empire, with a population of less than 40,000, to a capital city with a population of more than 360,000. In the bibliography, beginning on page 124, I have listed those maps, atlases, guide books, travellers' tales and historical works which I consulted while preparing the maps, and on which I drew for the contemporary material which they contained for each decade of the city's history. I am extremely grateful to all those individuals who gave me advice, encouragement and materials, both in London and Jerusalem, during my work on the maps and illustrations for this volume: in particular I should like to thank Azaria Alon, Professor Yehoshua Ben-Arieh, Ruth Cheshin, Fritz Cohen, David S.

  • Jews in the Middle East and North Africa
    Jews in the Middle East and North Africa AN THE DECADE since the Year Book last surveyed this subject, the Jewish population living in the Arab and Muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa has continued its gradual decline. Essentially three factors have con- tributed to the diminishing numbers: attrition through death among an aging popu- lation; the lifting of government-imposed barriers to emigration; and the emigration of young adults and their families seeking better educational and economic oppor- tunities abroad. Throughout the region both governmental policies and popular attitudes have been affected by the momentous global and regional developments in the period under review. Most notable are the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of the Iraq-Iran War in 1988, the Gulf War that liberated Kuwait from Iraqi occupation early in 1991, and the opening of direct Arab-Israeli peace talks in Madrid in October of that year. These positive developments have led to improvement in the status of the Jewish communities in some Middle Eastern countries and have also aroused hope among some Israeli and Arab leaders that a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace settlement may eventually usher in a new era of Arab-Jewish coexistence and cooperation in the region. Others warn against premature euphoria, pointing out that most of the regimes in the region remain autocratic and face severe challenges from both radical leftists and increasingly militant Islamic political groups that oppose peace with Israel and improved relations with the democratic West. For the most extreme of these groups, the distinction between Israeli, Zionist, and Jew is often blurred.

  • The Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries: an Examination of Legal Rights - a Case Study of the Human Rights Violations of Iraqi Jews
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 26, Issue 3 2002 Article 6 The Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries: An Examination of Legal Rights - A Case Study of the Human Rights Violations of Iraqi Jews Carole Basri∗ ∗ Copyright c 2002 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries: An Examination of Legal Rights - A Case Study of the Human Rights Violations of Iraqi Jews Carole Basri Abstract Although the issues surrounding the Palestinian refugees are frequently addressed at the United Nations (”U.N.”), in the news media, and in legal journals, very little has been written about the Jews displaced from Arab lands. In light of the little known fact that approximately 50% of Israelis are Jews from Arab lands or their descendents, this Article will use Jews from Iraq as a case study in examining the history and rights of Jews from Arab countries, who were expelled or forced to seek refuge elsewhere. Part I of this Article examines the historical legal status of Jews in Iraq and the discriminatory and prosecutorial events that triggered the expulsion of Jews from Iraq. Part II demonstrates that actions taken by Iraq against Jews violated international law stan- dards and other laws applicable now and at that time. Part III addresses the question of whether Jews from Arab lands currently have any available remedies for these violations of their rights. Finally, the Article concludes that a full accounting of the rights of Jews from Arab lands must accompany any discussions aimed at providing a regional peace agreement for the Middle East, if such an agreement is to have strength and legitimacy under international law.
