God is great, death to America, death to Israel, damn the Jews, victory for Islam. The slogan of Yemens Houthi rebels, who took over the capital, Sana, in January 2015, is fierce. It is also puzzling that their hatred would so stridently and centrally be directed against Jews, considering that Yemen which long boasted one of the worlds oldest and largest Jewish communities is today almost entirely empty of the Jews who called Yemen home for thousands of years.

Do you remember all the Yemeni orphans who were spirited away to Israel and disappeared? Israel seeks lost children of Yemen exodus Immigrant mystery: Graves to be opened in dispute over what happened to Oriental Jews who disappeared in the 1950s . Some 50,000 Jews came to Israel from Yemen in the 1950s and many of them and their families believe passionately that thousands of their children were abducted by the authorities of the day. They accuse them of allowing Jewish families from Europe to adopt children, whose parents were then told they were dead. The digging up of graves is at the request of the Yemeni community. Examination by radar reportedly shows that some of the graves are empty. If this turns out to be true then Yemenites will see this as evidence of mass kidnapping. "We have been authorised to open unmarked graves where Yemenite children are suspected to have been buried," said the retired judge who heads the commission, Yehuda Cohen. Most controversially, an investigation by Israel's commercial television station says that medical experiments were carried out on Yemenite children. Dr Ya'akov Rotamm, director of a children's hospital, is reported to have said that doctors injected healthy children in order to evaluate the level of phosphorus in their spinal fluid. Dov Levitan, the foremost Israeli specialist on the immigration of the Yemenite Jews, said the allegation is "sick" and without foundation. continued http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/israel-seeks-lost-children-of-yemen-exodus-1318037.html
