In 1950 and 1951, more than 120,000 Jews left Iraq for Israel, most
coming by air in the largest airlift in history. Scholars give
various reasons for this exodus. Some point to the strength of
Zionism amongst the Jews in Iraq whereas others blame the
anti-Semitic policies of the Iraqi government. Yet others see the
cause as a combination of Iraqi oppression and Zionist education.
Moshe Gat makes extensive use of the available official documents
and primary sources to produce a thoroughly researched study of the
extraordinary operation known as 'Ezra and Nehemiah'. 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.
