The New Iraqi Press and the Jews
From the Inquiry and Analysis series, by MEMRI It begins with a discussion of the de facto expulsion of 150,000 Jews from Iraq, Jews who turn out to be descended from the contingent of Jews who did not make aliyah with the rest of their fellow Jews at the time of the Persian kings Cyrus, Darius I (the Great), and Artaxerxes [Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther]. Most of this is a discussion of the frankly wild accusations that the newly free Iraqi press now makes against the Jews--"they're coming back", "they're buying everything in sight", et cetera. But I submit this for your I will bring them home [Nehemiah 1] files, as an illustration that God's Providential planning will not be thwarted.
