But since the creation of Israel in 1948, regional tensions skyrocketed and anti-Semitic campaigns took hold, pushing most of Iraq's Jews to flee. Today, Iraqis have fond memories of Jewish friends and neighbours, including 82-year-old Farhadi, whose father owned a shop in a Jewish-majority district of Arbil. (Photo by SAFIN HAMED / AFP)
