“#Egypt is my homeland, the land of my birth. There I grew up and was raised. She is my teacher and the source of my livelihood, the place where I wake and where I sleep. I have no other country to love.”

With these words by the #Cairo-born #Jewish #poet #MouradFarag, #NaglaaAbdelHaq opens her #book, #Jews and #Greeks in #Egypt and Their Economic Role until 1960. Tracing the careers of entrepreneurs from ethnic and religious minorities, the book focuses on the country’s two largest minorities at the time—its #Jewish and #Greek communities.

#Translated from #English and published in #Arabic by #DarAlKarma, the book grew out of a doctoral dissertation for which the #Palestinian-#German researcher received her PhD in #MiddleEastern Studies from #FriedrichAlexanderUniversity #ErlangenNuremberg."

Similar thing in Cypress last year.

"#Greek #Jewish groups have condemned an “#antiZionist patrol” which took place on the streets of #Thessaloniki, exactly 95 years after assault squads targeted #Jews in the same city.

The #leftwing #anarchist #Rouvikonas group organized the “anti-#Zionist patrol” on Saturday, heading toward #MaviliSquare, which they said “#Israeli capital has parasitically infiltrated.”

They were joined by members of the groups Permanent Struggle for Class Liberation and the Libertarian Initiative of Thessaloniki.

Pictures and videos of the patrol show black-shirted men wearing #Palestine flags."
