MENTIONED MORE AND MORE IN THE NEWS. Whether it's to find a different angle on putting Iraq in a bad light or out of a genuine concern, publicizing this news in the media is welcome:
Sixty years ago, Iraq's flourishing Jewish population, a third of Baghdad, fled in the wake of coordinated bombings and violence against them. Today, a handful of Jews remain. Unless Washington acts, the same fate awaits Iraq's million or so Christians and other minorities. They are not simply caught in the crossfire of a Muslim power struggle; they are being targeted in a ruthless cleansing campaign by Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish militants.
While preventing the other minorities from meeting the same fate as the Jews, how about getting those Jews out of there?

While Kurds are mentioned, I had the impression that they were not antagonistic towards Jews. See Kurds: Fond Memories of Israel.
