For International Farhud Remembrance Day, we ask: Is it coming to America? Are anti-Jewish arson, murder, and riots coming—this summer? We commemorate the horrific Arab-Nazi pogrom inflicted on the Jewish citizens of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities on June 1–2,1941—The Farhud. This violent dispossession was the beginning of the Nazi-style process of persecution and exclusion that would conclude with the expulsion of the Jews and the end of the 2,700-year-old Iraqi Jewish community. Yossie Hollander, Rabbi Elie Abadie, Sheldon Freilich, and Juda Engelmayer join Edwin to ask whether and when—and where—the next murderous riot might come to America.

After the establishment of Israel, Arab nations stripped their Jewish citizens of their property, funds, and citizenship, and expelled them. Will this happen next in Dagestan? Moscow? New York City?

Rabbi Elie Abadie and ZOA-MI President Sheldon Freilich join Edwin for another look at the horrid possibilities, Rabbi Manes Kogan provides additional reporting, and Nathan Lewin updates us on the lawsuit recently filed by the Brandeis Center against UC Berkeley.

AI is already reshaping how wars are fought. Foreign policy analyst Josh Block joins Edwin for an urgent look at the military impact of AI. How bad can it get?

Rabbi Elie Abadie, Juda Engelmayer, David Suissa, and Zalmi Unsdorfer provide additional reporting.

On this day, we remember the horrific Arab-Nazi pogrom inflicted on the Jewish citizens of Baghdad on June 1–2, 1941—The Farhud.

This violent dispossession was the beginning of the Nazi-style process of persecution and exclusion that would conclude with the expulsion of Iraqi Jews and the end of the 2,700-year-old Iraqi Jewish community. Rabbi Elie Abadie, senior rabbi of the Jewish Council of the Emirates, and Middle East scholar Mordechai Kedar join Edwin to explore whether this can happen again—and the two most likely places.

[Ed. note: We asked the question: Where next? Our prediction of “Israel” proved to be tragically accurate when, on October 7, 2023, at the end of Sukkot, Hamas massacred some 1,400 individuals in Israel.]

The annual commemoration, observed worldwide, was inaugurated by author Edwin Black and proclaimed on June 1, 2015, at United Nations Headquarters in a globally live-streamed event.

Yom HaGirush, November 30, commemorates the coordinated expulsion of Jews from Arab nations. After the 1948 founding of the modern state of Israel, most Arab nations followed the Nazi model of dispossessing and expelling their Jewish populations, planning to overload Israel’s ability to take them in. Some 850,000 men, women, and children were ejected—often with only the clothes on their backs. Many have forgotten. We have not. Mideast scholar Mordechai Kedar and Gulf States Senior Rabbi Elie Abadie join Edwin.

After the 1948 founding of the modern state of Israel, most Arab nations followed the Nazi model of dispossessing and expelling their Jewish populations, often to overload Israel’s ability to take them in.

Remember the hundreds who died in Baghdad on June 1, 1941—the beginning of the end of Jewry in Iraq. Can it happen again—in Europe or the United States?
