850K Jews were expelled from Arab countries for being Jewish after the formation of Israel.

They won't acknowledge that. They refuse to acknowledge that.

9 Arab Countries do not have birthright citizenship, Some of those cross reference to the expulsion of Jews veto 1948 and 1968.

Despite the positive influence that Jews brought to the places where they lived, more than 850,000 Jews were forced to leave their homes in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Morocco, and several other Arab countries in the 20 years that followed the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. Another significant forced migration took place from Iran in 1979–80, following the Iranian Revolution and the collapse of the Shah’s regime, adding 70,000 more Jewish refugees to this number
