Why Yazidis Were Murdered, Raped And Enslaved, And Not Iraqi And Syrian Jews

          Years ago, Iraqi Jews were ethnically cleansed and forced to flee for their lives to the State of Israel, the only country that would accept them. Many were raped and murdered. To this day, rather than apologize to the Iraqi Jews, many of the Islamists in Iraq would rather see them murdered, raped and destroyed, along with their one small country of Israel.
         The Jews that lived in Syria faced persecution and deep rooted antisemitism. Eventually, the ones that survived escaped to Israel. Israelis captured by Syria during the 1973 war and during other wars were brutally tortured. Few survived their captivity.
        When ISIS Islamists swept through Iraq and Syria, there were no longer any Jewish towns, villages or other places where Jews could be found.
         Unfortunately for the Yazidis, they did not have their own country, no matter how small it might be. They had no way to defend themselves. Many Iraqi and Syrian Christians were also murdered or forced to flee.
            Syrian Jews and Iraqi Jews know what would have happened to them if they were in Iraq or Syria, and not in Israel. The Jews of Israel know only too well what will happen to them if Israel loses even just one war.
            There must be justice and an accounting for what was done by Islamists to Yazidis, middle east Christians and other religious minorities. The acceptance of genocidal ambitions by Islamists towards Jews, Christians, Yazidis and others must become unacceptable.
             Thousands of Yazidi girls and women that were taken as sex slaves by Islamists have still not returned home. Whatever is decent that is left of humanity must fight for the return of these women and children.
