Lebanese Jewish Migration to Israel included thousands of Jews, who moved to Israel. Similarly to how 1948 witnessed the emigration of hundreds of Jews from Arab countries. Yet, “unlike Jewish communities in many other Arab states, the Jewish communities in Lebanon grew after 1948 and it was not until the end of the civil war of 1975 that the community started to emigrate.” This “Lebanese difference” derives from three components: more positive Lebanese relationships with European authorities during the French Mandate than experienced by other Arab states; Lebanese Jews never becoming particularly interested by Zionism, making the “threat” of Zionism less prominent in Lebanon; some elements in the Maronite Christian community who were tolerant of Zionism.
