The far-right Israeli daily Arutz Sheva (also going by the name Israel National News) reported Aug. 2 that the property of Jewish businessman Noam Nir was targeted for protest in a demonstration ostensibly against a Jewish advisor to the Moroccan throne who has supposedly taken pro-Israel positions. The only source for the story seems to be Nir himself, although there is a brief video clip of the protest (which appears to have been neither large nor violent). The report refers to the city where the protest took place as Mogador—the old colonial-era name for Essaouira. The only other outlet that seems to have covered the incident is Israel Today (which is also right-wing, although not as viciously so as Arutz Sheva). Again, the only source is Nir, and the city is referred to as Mogador. Essaouira is a site of Jewish pilgrimage, with thousands of Jews from abroad coming each September to visit the tomb of the revered 19th century Rabbi Haim Pinto, author of a mystical tract called Lumiere du Juste. Essaouira had a thriving Jewish community before the establishment of Israel, but virtually all that is left of it today are two cemeteries. The pilgrims are still welcomed back, though. We hope this is not now changing in backlash against Israel's atrocious actions. Another ugly contradiction of the situation faced by indigenous Middle Eastern Jews.
