Come Together at Isiah Wall, New York

Meeting - Jews who were expelled or forced out of Arab countries

*Come Together at Isiah Wall, New York
When the issue of refugees is raised within the context of the Middle East, people invariably refer to Palestinian refugees, not Jews displaced from Arab countries. There exists a moral imperative to ensure that justice for Jews from Arab countries assumes its rightful place on the international, political and judicial agenda and that their rights be secured as a matter of law and equity.
