Now Divisive, Iraq’s Jewish Archives Speak of More Tolerant Past A call by Iraqi authorities for the return of the country’s Jewish archives has triggered an active intellectual debate within Jewish circles, saying the collection must go to the Iraqi Jewish community living abroad. But Iraq’s own intellectuals seem far less interested in speaking openly and consistently about the issue, compared to their Jewish counterparts. This may be because the presence of the once flourishing Iraqi Jewish community now lies in the distant memories of Iraq’s oldest generations and their historical accounts. But it is also a result of long decades of viciously organized anti-Israeli propaganda, which in the popular imagination confused Israeli politics with the existence of the Jewish community. http://bit.ly/1baqPEe Source: http://rudaw.net/english/opinion/041120131 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1baqPEe+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
