Moroccan Jews constitute an ancient community. Before the founding of Israel in 1948, there were about 250,000 to 350,000[1] Jews in the country, but fewer than 7,000 or so remain.[2]

And 250,000 is not. (ETA: See if you can find other sources that demonstrate your inflated 350,000 number.)

Was the Deir Yassein massacre meant to prevent Arabs from leaving? Alternatively, does it mean that the Palestinians were expelled, or is this just another one of your double standards?

In any event, the fact that Morocco attempted to prevent Jews from leaving is a matter of simple historical record. If you had read your Wikipedia article further you would have noted the following:-


Are you avoiding your own remarks? I am guessing the double standards are all yours.


How quaint! You are correct, the king declaring "no! you can't move to Israel!" is in fact PREVENTING Jews from leaving Morocco.


Did you hurt your back moving those goal posts? I said nothing about the Moroccan Jews being expelled. I know they weren't all expelled. But then again, you seem to believe progroms are "encouragement" to stay.
