Sam2 and Avi K:
Health is correct, of course, that the Jews were far, far, far better off in Arab lands and in E”Y as well before the Zionists invaded E”Y. Your own leader admitted as much. No, it wasn’t always perfect there. But it was, again, far, far, far better, both in ruchnius and in “safety” than the disaster that the Zionists have created.
The Zionists also cannot answer for their many misdeeds against the Jews from Teiman, for example, who had their mesorah intact going back to Bayis Rishon!!
There was no such a thing in Yemen as a “secular Jew” because the government simply didn’t permit it. Whereas, when the Zionists got their evil claws on the Teimanim, they shmaded them, threw away their sefarim, kisvei yad, etc. and did all they could to ENSURE they would be “secular” and, worse, Zionist heretical and idolatrous Jews like the Zionists. That’s besides all the other evil the Zionists perpetrated against them.
Yet there are Jews today, with a century of history and more, that still fall prey to this idol.
