Although the glory of the pride of the Iraqi Kurds leader Saladin, the ancestral origins of the region, which was preferred to the recovery of Jerusalem from the families of the crusader occupation and the consolidation of the Islamic world under the flag, but the Kurdish region of Iraq and live a different reality today.

Is no longer strange that the eye is the Star of David on top of the first page of a newspaper or magazine, issued in the autonomous province, and he frowned a banner headline that read versions of those calling for the return of Jews to the region. Some of these calls were published and promoted by the magazine "Israel Kurds" by the Kurdish people in Arbil, the capital of the province.

And promote the magazine explicitly to accept the return of Jews to the region they are Kurds, and publishes statistics on the presence of more than 150 Kurdish Jew.

Reactions to the grass-roots level in the Kurdish street, ranging from indifference and welcome.

In a report aired by Al Arabiya television said the Kurdish people: "I am the owner of the library and bring all the magazines and publications of the time before and after the Intifada."

Another says that if the rights of Jews in the region are welcome, and easy for them, considering that this is normal if an Israeli or an Israeli.

While a third say that the call was unusual, they are human beings and we are humans and we will visit them as tourists and they come to their country.

Even among some of the Islamists, they do not see in it a provocation to the feelings of Muslims but just a suggestion.

For his part, said Farhad Awni headline the Kurds that the issuance of the magazine and its call for the return of the Jews in accordance with the law, which does not allow the existence of barriers to the press and freedom of expression even though the street, in conformity with the official opinion of the federal government refuses to establish relations with Israel.

Contrary to those views in a Jewish neighborhood in Erbil, where the buildings still reflect the footprint of building the Jewish people through some of the fear of such a return in the near future.

The woman in the age of them, "When I lived in the region has not a Jew, and came back and started to remember the Jewish area, and he said this was my home and I heard that the Jews to get out of the region said that we will get back in the day, and I do not have a home and need-to-house."
