It's an absolute tragedy that during Israel's formation, some 600,000 people who lived in the same land were displaced.[1]

What's less talked about is that beyond the region of Israel, across the MENA, ~900,000 Jews across the region were forcibly expelled- citizenship stripped, property ceased, etc. in sixteen countries.

One tragedy does not balance out another, yet I rarely hear people talking about the expulsion of MENA Jews. Few Western non-Jews have heard about it, and anti-Sephardi bigotry means that few Ashkenazi Jews even discuss it.

[1] There's a lot of complexity around this series of events. I'm simplifying.
