dodzi , i am not changing the topic , i was responding to haruun's post , he said the appointment of a jew in Bahrain to a position shows that Bahrain is more progressive & liberal than lebanon , that lebanon has lost its liberalism & pluralism . 50 jews in bahrain , with all due respect , does not make bahrain a pluralist country .i am not against lebanese Jews , if they are citizens they should have the same rights , and if they feel unsafe they should have protection , but i don't see why they feel unsafe , who is threatening the m ? HA is not against jews , has never threatened jews , and if there is fear , it should be from the salafis who have cut off people's heads in the north , it happened before the nahr el bared clashes , and it happened agai n in halba a few weeks ago . and everyone , not just jews, should/would feel threatened by such people , so Jews are no exception !
i really don't see how your argument that jews don't feel safe can be valid , because i dont see any proof that they are being threatened . if there are some stupid people who have issued threats (which i don't see any proof of ) , it doesn't mean an entire community should or would feel threatened , because there are stupid ppl who threaten other communities too , and no one hides their identity , even the small communities like the Alawites & Kurds . there is no more anti-jewish sentiment in lebanon than there is anti-Alawite sentiment for example .
btw i was not questioning the numbers, was just asking a question to Haruun because he seemed to say it as a matter of fact & i was curious about his source.
