The Jewish exodus from Iraq, 1948-1951

In this study, Moshe Gat details how the immigration of the Jews from Iraq in effect marked the eradication of one of the oldest and most deeply-rooted Diaspora communities. He provides a background to these events and argues that both Iraqi discrimination and the actions of the Zionist underground in previous years played a part in the flight. The Denaturalization law of 1950 saw tens of thousands of Jews registering for emigration, and a bomb thrown at a synagogue in 1951 accelerated the exodus.

  • "In 1950 and 1951 more than 120, 000 Jews left Iraq for Israel. the reasons point to the strength of Zionism among the Jews in Iraq and their commitment to Zionist education. others see the cause as a combination of Iraqi government anti-semitism and the effectiveness of the zionist underground."
