Libyan Jews holocaust

A new section needs to be created to discuss this horrible and significant topic. I was very surprised to find out it doesn't exist yet. - Shalom11111 (talk) 18:35, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ERROR in Ancient History

The first paragraph of the Ancient History subsection of the History of the Jews in Libya talks of remains of a synagogue in Sirte 1,000 years BCE in the time of Solomon. What? A synagogue, a feature of Judaism in Diaspora? When the first temple was constructed? In Libya, before the Jews left Canaan? I am no expert, but do I need to be here? There is something wrong!

Italian rule

Much of the text of the last paragraphs of the section Italian rule is directly from Persecution, Resettlement by Maurice M. Roumani. A phrase left out leads to someone reading "Mussolini ordered the Jews of Benghazi, Derna, Tobruk, Barce, Susa and other towns in the region to be sent to a concentration camp in Gharian in retaliation." wondering "in retaliation" to what. A Google Books preview indicates the missing phrase. Looking at the Labor Camps in Libya section in an online edition of the whole text^[1] shows how much text has been copied directly to the WP article. Though Roumani is cited so much text being quoted raises the issue of copyright violation. It would probably be better to paraphrase the source. Mcljlm (talk) 02:59, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gadhafi Section

The section on Gadhafi says that there were only 100 jews remaining in Libya, however the only attached source claims that 3000 fled after he took power. That doesn't add up according to the maths I learned.

Additionally, the attached source is a self-described Israel advocacy outlet. Most of its claims are either unsourced, or circularly sourced to other articles it has written. This goes for all the claims made here about Jews under Gadhafi, which are not sourced whatsoever.

The claim that the day of revenge celebrated expulsion of Jews is entirely unfounded, as is the claim that it was a national holiday rather than a commemorative day. The primary scholarly works on this topic describe the Day of Revenge as being entirely about the expulsion of Italian settlers. NingNonger (talk) 05:26, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, there were few Jews left in Libya by the time he came to power. He can be blamed for many things, but not the 1967 expulsions... AnonMoos (talk) 12:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
