2/ “Among Arabs and their supporters, it is sometimes said that Arabs cannot be anti-Semites since they themselves are Semites. This statement is meaningless. Anti-Semitism has never been concerned with anyone but Jews, and there is in any case no such thing as a Semite. Like the Aryan, he is a myth, and part of the same mythology.”

A book about the Jews of Turkey @SimonWaldman1 x.com/SimonWaldman1/status/2…

In 1927, the Jews of Istanbul constituted around 15% of the city’s total population. That’s more Jewish than New York City today. 99 years later, Jews make up barely 0.06% of Istanbul’s total. What happened to Istanbul’s Jewish community? In my new book, Looking For Elsewhere: The Jews of Turkey Then and Now I explain why this came to be while investigating what this means for Jews living there today.

#OnThisDay in 2018: Various obituaries and comments regarding the passing of Bernard Lewis. Some very complementary. Some less so! Sadly many of the Israeli officials who knew him best - such as Shimon Peres and Teddy Kollek - had predeceased him nytimes.com/2018/05/21/obitu…
