First, please share with me the Arab countries with large, thriving Jewish populations that were not  already in precipitous decline as a result of Arab Islamist aggression, violence, and oppression in the that started to spread in the 1800s. The only country that saw an uptick was Palestine. And that’s where many MENA Jews went. Post WWII.

Yes, the decline of Jews in the MENA went down to near zero in many countries after 1948, but that trend started centuries earlier, and with speed in the 1800s and 1900s.

I would question your knowledge of Middle East history if you’re not familiar with these historical events. Or would suggest you dig in a bit more deeply into the history of Jews in the region.

Lastly, you asked for info. I provided a simple, clearly labeled list. You want a filter function. It’s hard to take your interest in this information seriously. 
Have a nice evening.

You provided a copy and paste that you didn't even vet and you don't know anything about any of the events listed. How many Jews fled because they weren't allowed to where western clothes in Algeria? What was the name of that massacre? The night of the long cravats?

As you know, many Jews arrived in Israel after its independence from Arab countries. What do you think those Jews were doing in those countries if they had all fed the region in the 1800s? There was a large Jewish population in Egypt, in Yemen, in Iraq, in Algeria, and Tunisia, and in several other Arab countries. They had mostly gotten along fine until the rise of Zionism. There is evidence that in many cases Israel was behind some of the violence that encouraged them to flee the Arab countries. Just Google the Lavon Affair, or the bombings in Iraq.
