It's also about children, the Yemeni ones that disappeared in the 50s; I came upon this article looking for something else. From the Independent in 1995 by Patrick Cockburn; It seems that back in the early 50s, children of Arab Jews were also being abused by Israel:</span><br /></p><p><span> </span><br /></p><p><span>...Some 50,000 Jews came to Israel from Yemen in the 1950s and many of them and their families believe passionately that thousands of their children were abducted by the authorities of the day.

Rabbi Meshulam was sentenced to eight years in jail.</span><br /></p><p><span> </span><br /></p><p><span>http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/israel-seeks-lost-ch ildren-of-yemen-exodus-1318037.html</span></p>Walidnoreply@blogger.com
