Thanks to all new followers who helped get the
#Jewish People out of the Middle Ages. We’ve seen that they don’t call them ‘dark ages’ for no reason. Stay tuned as the history of the Jews keeps unfolding throughout modern times..... https://twitter.com/israelmfa/status/1077820347683127298?s=21 …pic.twitter.com/5KqfAHuFNY

My family is from Cuba and many of us have had the tradition that we are Jews that left the Canary Islands. One of the biggest tell all signs of who we are is the family rule: "we eat no pork".

In the years after 1492, some 200K
#Jews were forced out of Spain. But many also stayed and became “New Christians”. For centuries, Spain was#judenrein until the expulsion edict was officially cancelled in 1869. Today there are around 13,000 Jews living in Spain.pic.twitter.com/MsDEu4W4Y5

The Expelled Spanish Jews used to be mostly urban, so they preferred cities. Most settled in the “4 holy cities” - Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed and Tiberias. Many also, believe it or not - in
#Gaza. In Jerusalem, the western wall was declared by sultan Süleyman as a holy Jewish site.pic.twitter.com/vePQzWk9pY

In 1516, the
#Ottomans concurred the#HolyLand from the Mamluks, and many of the ex-Spanish#Jews moved to their ancestral ancient home land, joining the already existing Jewish communities there.pic.twitter.com/JyVMeSgOuw

Where did all the Jews go? Well, many to Portugal which was geographically and culturally close. But...in 1497 the expulsion edict came into effect over there too. Bad luck. Some fled to France, Belgium and Holland. Finally, most fled east - to the young n rising Ottoman Empire.pic.twitter.com/gowpFQaqxq

What makes 1492 special is that this expulsion was an official edict issued by the
#Catholic Monarchs of Spain, basically aiming to eliminate any#Jewish presence in Spain. Here’s s copy of the edict of expulsion, signed by Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon.pic.twitter.com/7pkO2jSxuX

So how many
#Jews were expelled in 1492 from#Spain? Estimates are between 40K to 160K, when in fact most Spanish Jews chose ‘option B’ - conversion to Christianity instead of expulsion. Forced expulsion of Jews from Spain began already in 1391. In the picture - a Jew in Spain.pic.twitter.com/0phtPayWhc

A question for Mahmoud Abbas on the occasion of his
#Fatah’s 54th anniversary: That whole “two state solution” thing, is Israel one of those “two states”? Coz for some reason it’s not on any of your new festive logos...pic.twitter.com/TTGM9z15v6

Context:
#Israel permits 1000s of Palestinian to cross border in order to work in#Israel. Each one must be pass security check to prevent terror. If Pals had invested in economy and jobs, instead of 70 yrs of terror & corruption, they wouldn't need to cross border to work.https://twitter.com/StefanieDekker/status/1080691189899317248 …

Meet
#Oumuamua, the first ever object from another solar system to be seen in ours. But what is it? A comet
? An asteroid
?
Israeli-American Professor Avi Loeb, head of the Astronomy Dept from @Harvard is convinced that it’s neither.

This is the reason the Israeli Defense Forces
@IDF IS the most moral army in the world: not because it fights with flowers (it doesn't), not because Jews have a unique moral DNA (no people does), but because the IDF is forced to carry out its missions under unparalleled scrutiny:https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1079430912805351430 …

Happens that I’ve reached 1,485 followers AND I’m at Ronda RIGHT NOW! Ronda was under
#Islamic rule from 713 until occupied by the Christians in 1485! The#Jewish population of Ronda, then capital of the Caliphate of Córdoba, was expelled that year by the#Christian conquerors.pic.twitter.com/CFiQZcTijf
