re: #22 windsagio

Because for those who have a sense of history, the potential departure of the last remaining Jews in Baghdad — presumably because they are under renewed threat — after a millenia-long and culturally-rich history is a matter of significance and should be a matter of great sadness.

Because for those who will be happy to see the world, or at least their corner of it, rendered judenrein, the departure or death of the last remaining Jew in Baghdad will be yet another source of perverse pride.

And, again, whether it is the last 9 Jews or 9 of the last 20, the significance is the same. Quibbling over the precise number is utterly irrelevant to the reality and suggests an entirely different agenda than the search for objective fact, historical truth or honest discourse.
