HILLARY MANN LEVERETT, SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL SERVICE, AMERICAN U.: Well, you know, if you look at Jewish communities in other places around the Middle East, there certainly was, after the creation of the State of Israel – and especially after the ’67 war – an emigration of Jews from many of these Arab countries to Israel. But there still are Jewish communities. So, for example, there’s a thriving Jewish community in Iran. And when I’ve talked about that, people say, oh, that’s so terrible. How can you say that? Of course, they’re suffering. Well no, I’ve actually been there. I’ve been to the kosher restaurants. I’ve been to the Jewish hospital in Iran.

There is not this deep-seated Arab/Jewish or – you know, Muslim/Jewish animosity. There’s not an anti-Semitism in the Middle East the way that there was in Europe, which is based on race; which is based on color; which is based on genes and biology. That doesn’t exist in the Middle East. There’s no history of that in the Middle East.
