Jews of Rada Expected to Leave Yemen by Passover

You won't see much in the mainstream media about persecution and murders of Jews in Arab countries; it doesn't fit the party line. All you get are reports -- such the one by Ostrich Cohen in the NY Times -- about how good the Jews have it in Iran and other countries.

From Yeshiva World News...
With assistance by the US government and Jewish organizations in the US, 300 Jews living in Rada, Yemen are scheduled to emigrate by Pesach.

...In recent years the Jews of Rada, a city located north of the capital city of Sanaa, have been subject to frequent physical harassment by their Muslim neighbors and the threat to their lives is real. Since last December's murder of R' Moshe Yaish- Nahari Hy"d, a prominent figure in the Jewish community, by a local Muslim who insisted he convert to Islam, the US State Department has been in contact with the Yemenite government to ameliorate the situation.
