Series Description: In the context of the misinformation that has saturated public discourse in our country since October 7, ISGAP Francophone Space, in association with the Jonathas Institute in Brussels, has deemed it urgent to organize a series of seminars focused on the disappearance of Middle Eastern Jews. Let us not forget that Judaism, like Christianity, is a faith born in the heart of the Middle East. Before 1948, it was estimated that approximately 900,000 Jews lived in the Arab world, compared to only 6,500 today. This means that 99% of the Jews in the Arab world have been forced into exile.
The issue of the ethnic cleansing of Middle Eastern Jews, largely overlooked, is central for anyone seeking to understand the social, political, and cultural dynamics of the Near and Middle East today, as well as for those interested in the prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
