VisionTV presented an encore of “The Forgotten Expulsion: Jews from Arab Lands on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT to mark the grim second anniversary of the day 1,200 Israelis were massacred and 250 hostages were taken by Palestinian terrorists.

Said the National Post: “Forgotten Expulsion shows a rich Jewish history throughout the Middle East that existed longer than Islam or Christianity. …The emptying of historic communities in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Morocco remains largely forgotten. This history is eclipsed in the popular imagination by Palestinian refugees, who have a dedicated UN body overseeing them.”

On October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists massacred 1,200 Israeli men, women + children, and took some 250 hostages in a sneak attack marked by unprecedented levels of barbarism.

That triggered the Israel Hamas War and the crisis in Gaza that now dominates the world’s attention. But the roots of the conflict go back deeper still.

In 1947/48, it was not only Muslim Palestinians who were displaced during the Israel war of Independence, but 850,000 Jews were also expelled from their ancient homes in Arab countries by Islamic regimes + their murderous mobs.

On the grim 2nd anniversary of this horror, VisionTV presents Forgotten Expulsion: Jews From Arab Lands.

This documentary shows that Jews have been indigenous to the Land of Israel for the past 3,500 years. Jews are, and have been an intrinsic part of the Middle East long before Arabs conquered the region 1,400 years ago; 1,000 years before Christianity, 1,500 years before Islam.

Forgotten Expulsion also highlights the strange case of the Palestinians, the only refugee population n the world that never declines. That original refugee population of 500,000 now numbers 5 million.
