Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, approximately 850,000 Jews were displaced from Arab nations. Driven by government-sanctioned persecution, anti-Jewish pogroms, and the freezing of assets, these ancient communities were uprooted and forced to leave their homes.The historical events surrounding the exodus varied by region:North Africa: Riots in Oujda and Djerada in 1948 killed 44 Jews, sparking a massive wave of emigration from Morocco to Israel, France, and the Americas.Iraq: Zionism was made a capital crime, and thousands of Jews were denaturalized and stripped of their assets before a mass airlift (Operation Ezra and Nehemiah) brought the vast majority to Israel.Egypt and Syria: Following the UN partition vote, violence broke out against Jewish quarters. The Egyptian government froze bank accounts, declared Zionism a crime, and arrested thousands, leading to a near-total collapse of the Egyptian Jewish community.Yemen: Bloody pogroms, such as the 1947 Aden riots, claimed dozens of lives and prompted the near-total migration of Yemenite Jews to Israel.To acknowledge this displacement and the loss of communal and individual assets, the State of Israel passed a law in 2014 establishing November 30 as an annual national day national day to commemorate the expulsion and exodus of Jews from Arab countries and Iran.For a more detailed breakdown of how this displacement affected individual nations, you can review the Fact Sheet on Jewish Refugees maintained by the Jewish Virtual Library.

It was a forced exodus of Jews from 10 Arab states (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Aden, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco) after the 1948 war that ended with Israel’s victory. The Arabs took their anger on their own Jews by ending their employment, freezing their assets, harassing them, imprisoning suspected ‘Zionists’ and basically forcing them out. 850,000 Jews had to leave with only one suitcase in their hand, and the rest of their property and money stayed behind to be repossessed by their former governments. Some of the expelled Jewish communities have been there more than a thousand years (like Iraq) and had deep routs in the place. Many of the expelled Jews held important positions in their home country and contributed a lot to their economy but it didn’t matter, they were not wanted anymore. The majority of them settled in Israel, which was quite poor then, and ill-prepared to receive so many people at once. The arrival of the Jews from Arab states doubled the Jewish population in Israel overnight. Integration in their new country was hard, but over all it was worthy. Today, descendants of Jews from Arab states are the majority among the Jewish population in Israel.

I'm no trying to create any sort of competition about who was abused more or were the greater abusers, but it does help to understand the entire picture rather editing history to make a case.
