The "charade of victimization" goes on and on:

In his new suburban American home, Shaker Yakub, a Yemeni Jew, folded a large scarf in half, wrapped it around his head and tucked in his spiraling side curls. "This is how I passed for a Muslim," said the 59-year-old father of seven, improvising a turban that hid his black skullcap.

The ploy enabled Mr. Yakub and half a dozen members of his family to slip undetected out of their native town of Raida, Yemen, and travel to the capital 50 miles to the south. There, they met U.S. State Department officials conducting a clandestine operation to bring some of Yemen's last remaining Jews to America to escape rising anti-Semitic violence in his country.

"They were one of the oldest exiled groups out of Israel," says Hayim Tawil, a Yeshiva University professor who is an expert on Yemeni Jewry. "This is the end of the Jewish Diaspora of Yemen. That's it."

So what do we learn from this?

1. There is a Jewish cult or "charade" of victimization. Those were friendly firebombs and the murder was done with respect.

2. There was really no need to create a Jewish state in the Middle-East. Jews are obviously completely safe in Arab countries.

3. Jews are Europeans.

4. We have to support the "Palestinian Cause" and throw ALL Jews into the sea, not just the ones from Yemen.

5. None of that has anything to do with anti-Semitism. Read Norman Finkelstein!

After alienating the West by backing Iraq during the first Gulf War, Yemen sought a rapprochement with Washington. In 1991, it declared freedom of travel for Jews.

And why on earth were there travel restrictions for Jews in the first place? When there are travel restrictions for Palestinian Arabs in Israel, another country at war with them, the world screams bloody murder. But noone demonstrates for the sake of Jews in Arab countries who are also subject to travel restrictions for no reason other than their Judaism.

It is very difficult indeed to believe that all that has nothing to do with anti-Semitism.

I take it Israel's indeendence day was the day anti-Semitism ended? I don't think I have heard of a single major attack against Jews advocated as a means to kill them all has been rated "anti-Semitic" since then by "peace activists" and people like Lula.

Ancient stone homes dot the town. Electricity is erratic; oil lamps are common. Water arrives via truck. Most homes lack a TV or a refrigerator.

Of course the real tragedy is "Palestinian" homes which (and that is a lie) have only 1/3 of the water Jewish homes have in "Palestine".

What "Palestinians" and "peace activists" describe as a nighmare is a dream for Jews living in Yemen.

Of course neither of the two have it as bad as Africans, Muslim or Christian, under Arab rule.

Typically, the Jewish men are blacksmiths, shoe repairmen or carpenters. They sometimes barter, trading milk and cow dung for grass to feed their livestock.

In "Palestine", Jews are accused of limiting "Palestinian" access to grazing land. "Palestinians" do not have to trade cow dung for grass to feed their livestock. And the world condemns Israel whenever somebody accuses her of limiting access to grazing land (regardless of the truth of the accusation or the reason for the action).

From the safety of his new home in suburban New York, Mr. Yakub recounted his last months in Yemen. Rocks shattered the windows of his house and car. Except for emergencies and provisions, Jews began to avoid leaving home. When they did, Mr. Yakub and other Jews took to disguising themselves as Muslims.

"Palestinians" never dress up as Jews to avoid being attacked.

Several families missed the two flights offered to them by the U.S. and, therefore, forfeited their chance to move here. Family members say they are having trouble disposing of assets.

In "Palestine" there is a death penalty for selling land to Jews because Jews do not refuse to buy from Arabs.

An undisclosed number of people have reached Israel, including the family of Mr. Ben Yisrael, whose home was the target of a grenade, and the family of Mr. Nahari, who was slain in December 2008.

I am sure it was a friendly grenade.
