the rise of Islam, Jews have been living in the Yemen as the only non-Muslim
minority. Their status, never enviable, deteriorated in the twentieth
century as the Imam Yahya sought to maintain the full force of Islamic law
and local custom. The attempt to create a Jewish National Home in Palestine,
Arab propaganda, new economic realities and local resentments had the effect
of further undermining their position. While battling to maintain their
rights, the Yemenite Jews started to emigrate. British immigration policies
in Palestine, The Imam’s efforts to prevent them from leaving, and British
regulations in Aden often frustrated their efforts. This movement of people
was to culminate in 1948-50 in what was the largest human airlift the world
had ever seen - Operation Magic Carpet - when the Yemenites were taken ‘on
wings of eagles’ to Israel. SUBJECT (S): Jews -- Yemen (Republic) --
