Why are you bringing this up now since Jewish refugees were absorbed?

The history of Jewish refugees from Arab countries deserves recognition and redress. In order to understand a full picture of the conflict in the Middle East the history of Jews from the region must be acknowledged and addressed. There are still many Jews alive today who were born in Arab countries and forced out of their countries. While many of them built new lives abroad and did not dwell on their suffering at the time, it is not to late now to address what happened to them.
