| #1 There are only a handful of Jews left in Egypt itself, which was once home to more than 100,000 Jews. Under Nasser, his Arabization policies and the sequestration of Jewish property signaled an end to the millenial old Jewish home at Alexandria. Then it was Cairo's turn. Next, of course, is the Cross the Christians have to bear. |
