Judaism in Yemen is one of the oldest continuous Jewish communities in the world. Traditions place its beginnings in the biblical period; the earliest firm evidence is from late antiquity. For most of the last 1,400 years the community lived as a protected but legally inferior minority under Muslim rule, scattered across more than a thousand villages and towns. Almost the entire community left in 1949–50. Only a handful of individuals remain today.
@AJEnglish The solution is simple. Roll up with a bunch of troop carriers. Load everyone up and drive them to the Moroccan border. Repeat until everyone is out of Ceuta. And who drags their kid along to violate an international border and use him as a prop to bolster an asylum petition?
@Schwalm5132 Unfortunately, your remedy is predicated on there being a Dad around to formulate and review The Plan. Gee, maybe that’s half our problem.
@sarahadams But his desire to behead comes from a place of trauma and pain. It’s inhumane to deny the pain of his lived experience and not offer ourselves to them as thabeeha to Allah.
@sarahadams@AmericanAir That would have been helpful on the Turkish flight from IST to MOG years ago on which they were doing an extradition transport from the UK. Apparently the guy was shouting “Allahu albar” throughout the first leg. A young JAG officer and I protested enough to get him removed.
