JJAC defends the memory of Jews originating from Arab countries, recalling that while the tragedy of the Palestinian refugees is unquestionable, the tragedy of Jews from Arab countries should equally be remembered. For the most part they were expelled under terrible conditions from the countries where they had been living for thousands of years and they have in the main been welcomed by Israel. Jean-Pierre Allali, a member of CRIF’s Executive Board and global Vice-President of JJAC, is responsible for coordinating in France operations to raise the awareness of the topics defended by JJAC.
