WND: Isaeli Special Forces Rescue The Last Jews In Aleppo
But one family member who had converted to Islam denied right to return
Special mission rescues final Jewish family in Aleppo, but aliyah regulations prevent complete success.
It was recently revealed that Israeli special forces carried out a daring operation to rescue the last Jewish family in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
The Jewish Chronicle reports that preparation for the mission began months in advance. First an Israeli-American businessman named Moti Kahana sent a message to the family, whose name has not been released, that he wanted to get them out of the war-torn country. The family was aware of how dangerous Syria was, but they were too afraid to even take the chance on escaping.
Kahana, who has a number of connections with rebel forces, soon heard reports that ISIS was closing in on the family and decided to get them out, whether they liked it or not.
WNU Editor: Aleppo is one of the oldest cities in the world, and Jews have been living there for thousands of years. And now the last ones have left. We are clearly living in unprecedented times.

Jews have left voluntary or via expulsion from cities, countries, and empires throughout time. European countries threw out the Jews so that Christian banking could start in earnest or to sell the possessions of those expelled in order to raise funds for war. The new Christian bankers were so rapacious that the Jews were invited back in to do the banking chores necessary for trade and war.
The Jewish communities were, on the whole, literate and skilled compared to those around them. Thus, they were necessary to the running of a "modern" state. This led to animosity of the citizens. That animosity was fed by false Bible or religious teachings. The wheel has turned many times. Welcome to the latest version.
There is very little new about Aleppo. It is just another city that is no longer safe for its Jewish citizens.
This raid demonstrates the importance of Israel for Jews around the world. They do not abandon their people when they are in danger no matter their nationality. It is a lesson the United States needs to learn.

Yes, very very true. For many Jews finance and government were the only things they could do by law, which assured their unpopularity. Western governments, especially in the late Dark Age and Middle Ages also by law prohibited Christians from "usury" essentially prohibiting them from finance. This made the Jews very useful as tools of finance and future scapegoats. I am 100% behind Israel
