I added the sentence about post-1991 emigration out of the ex-USSR to Israel, the US and Germany. The US figure of 250,000 with "refugee" status is accurate, but are there cites anywhere for more accurate numbers to Israel and Germany, and for non-refugees to the US? 13:51, 03 Jun 2005 (UTC)

~~#REDIRECT Talk:Immigration_to_Israel_from_Arab_lands~~

Until recently, this was a redirect. If there is a controversy, I'll just turn it back into a redirect. My guess is the focus on the Arab lands is because they focus on Palestinians. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 04:54, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I see. That history explains alot, especially the Talk page from the original link. In that light, you have done a very creditable job of listing the long history of cases of Jewish refugees. The intro just needs to be NPOVed. I don't think the focus on Sephardim in Israel is appropriate for the page title which is much broader. Thanks. Alberuni 05:04, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Israel and jewish refugees

From the article I see the following: 'The State of Israel (population in 1948 was about 650,000) absorbed approximately 600,000 of these refugees'

I suggest information is added on Israeli policies relating to the refugees as it is not clear how this worked.

Another comment relates to the definition of jewish refugees in the beginning of the article. Is it not recognized that this term is used on all jewish refugees? Tiller1 23:00, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Really? Using a fictional story?

"475 BCE Persia. Haman plots to expel and kill all Jews."

The entire narrative of Esther is FICTIONAL. It is almost superfluous to mention single points as evidence for the "unhistoric" character of the book. The exegetes have often emphasized how unthinkable a feast that all dignitaries of the Persian court participate in (1:1-4), how absurd a royal decree to all men to maintain the final say in their household (1:22), and how unlikely the promulgation of decrees in all languages of the world empire rather than in the official Aramaic (3:12; 8:9) would be. To these observations is usually added that neither a Vashti nor an Esther were ever queens in the Persian empire, that the only historically verifiable character of the book, Ahasveros or Xerxes I, had a queen by the name of Amestris and that as members of the royal harem neither Esther nor Vashti could have been called 'queen'. Additionally the Persian kings were obliged to choose their queen from one of the seven noble families. Therefore Esther doesn't even come into consideration. A Jew as vizier at the Persian court (8:2; 10:3) is extremely unlikely and a Persian king who sanctions a civil war within his own empire (8:8; 9:11 sq.) entirely unthinkable. Finally, if Mordechai had been one of the exiles who were deported from Jerusalem 597 BC, then he would have been more than 120 years old in the 12th year of Xerxes' reign (3:7) and his cousin Esther would not have been the beautiful young girl who won over the king to elevate her to queen (2:17).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sickofthisbs (talk • contribs)

Hi,

I want to request that the article titled "Expulsions and exoduses of Jews" is made more complete by adding information regaring the expulsion of jews from the Kingdom of Norway from 1814-1851. I think it is a shame that this event is not included in the list. For more information regarding this event, please see article titled "History of the Jews in Norway" in Wikipedia. 178.232.124.55 (talk) 20:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That may be a good suggestion, but please specify in detail the wording that should be added to this article. LizardJr8 (talk) 04:11, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The mentioned article speaks of no such event as "expulsion of the Jews from Norway from 1814-1851". Since first mentions about the Jews in Norway 17th century there were restrictions on presence and movement of the Jews in the kingdom of varying degree, and with periods of leeway. However during 1647–1851 the blanket constitutional ban was in force, known as Jødeparagrafen, which banned Jews and Jesuits from the kingdom, with the exception of Portuguese Sephardi Jews, who were historically present as merchants. Accordingly, the Jews found in Norway were deported, unless they were converts or Portuguese.

Concluding, there were no particular mass "expulsion and exodus" events, just a complete ban, with individual personal expulsions of the violators, and I am not sure whether this fits the scope of this article. If you think it does, please put my above blurb into proper Englisch and add to the article. ("Jews and Jesuits" is an accidental pun: Jesuits and other monastic orders were banned because of their aggressive proselytising in the state where the official state religion was Evangelical Lutheranism.) --Altenmann >talk 06:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
