The thousands of Yemeni babies and young children taken from their parents by Israel and given to the Ashkenazi
‘Between the years 1948 and 1952, thousands of babies, children of mostly Yemenite immigrants to the newly-founded State of Israel, were allegedly taken away from their parents and given up for adoption to Ashkenazi families. Now a group of activists is telling the stories of the traumatized families who vow never to forget.’
‘Many of the complaints have common characteristics:
Almost all the missing children were under the age of three, they were the children of new immigrants who were less than a year in Israel and who arrived at the newly founded country in the immigration waves of those years (see also Operation Magic Carpet), and almost all were descendants of Mizrahi Jews—especially descendants of immigrants from Yemen.
Almost all disappeared while in hospitals or when they were allegedly taken to hospitals.
Almost all the parents received only a spoken explanation, that their children had died. The spoken message was only given to the parents when they inquired about the cause of their children’s disappearance and in most instances they were told of their child’s sudden death only after the funeral (or the alleged funeral) was held in their absence. In addition, the death records were incomplete and many parents never received a death certificate stating the death of their children.
Almost all the parents of the children who disappeared were given a recruitment order from the Israel Defense Forces at a time when their children were supposed to approach the age of recruitment.’ – Wikipedia
