#2 I am still trying to understand why the Christians and other religious people in the world can not understand that Islam is out there to kill them. I know that money is the God in western world but I still doubt that majority of the western people are willing to sell their daughters and wives to be raped by Islamists. Well, if you are that stupid, have no spine or do not care what happens to your children in the future, what I could say. Folks, Europeans call us bloody Americans, because we still have our guns to defend our way of living. So where are those people hiding?.

#3 For one - these type of stories are _never_ reported by the mainstream media. See Beslan where the MSM went out of its way to protray the ISLAMIC TERRORISTS as 'gangsters' or 'hostage takers'- anything but terrorist. And they refused to mention the bayoneted babies or raped kids (both documented facts).

Second - Ever see a lobster being boiled slowly? As long as you increase the temp slowly the lobster has no objection to be boiled alive. 9/11 broke that - and the media (and Hollywood) have been trying to Lull is back to sleep ever sense. All the Deaths in Iraq are the fault of that George Bush, etc...

Third - we tend to think that there are no monsters out there - otherwise we would have to face them. Human nature. We have also had it beaten into us by a leftist education system that everything is _our_ fault because the west is basically EVIL and BAD. Slavery only happened in the USA, etc...

Fourth - Multiculturalism - All Cultures are equal (except Christianity and Judism which are the spawn of the devil).

#4 Shouldn't they be resettled in, oh I don't know, Israel? Less of a culture shock and Israel could benefit from the additional kindred people.

#5 Ed,

they will probably settle in Israel

however, the govt of Yemen would get in trouble with some of its core followers if they were seen to be helping the Zionists

thus, some indirection is required

#6 Not so sure. I seem to remember the Israelis airlifted out most the of the Yemeni Jews right after Israeli independence. There was also an airlift about one year ago. All the remaining Yemeni Jews would fit on one airliner with room for their farm animals.

#7 moved to the United States since July under a clandestine operation by State Department officials

Wonks at the State Department, please explain the need for a "clandestine operation." Oh, sorry, the Barry and WH Mooslim factor. How soon I forget.

#8 One can now partially understand why Nasser used Mustard Gas on these neanderthals...

#9 One thing, at least: the Jewish community will see to the needs of the immigrants, all sixty of them, just as they took care of providing jobs, housing, and English-language training to the Russian Jews who came here a generation ago.

I do find it hard to believe there are as many as 200-300 Jews still remaining in Yemen. The last I had read, the last eleven had been taken to Israel a few months ago... which would be after this lot.

#10 I seem to remember the Israelis airlifted out most the of the Yemeni Jews right after Israeli independence.

You're right, ed. Wikipedia says:

Virtually the entire Jewish population emigrated from Yemen between June 1949 and September 1950 in what was deemed Operation Magic Carpet. Most now live in Israel [360,000], with some others in the United States [150,000], and fewer elsewhere.

Elsewhere in the article is mentioned that

Trades such as silver-smithing, blacksmiths, repairing weapons and tools, weaving, pottery, masonry, carpentry, shoe making, and tailoring were occupations that were exclusively taken by Jews

which would explain some part of the problems Yemen is experiencing today.
