Thank you for confirming that Ladino is based on Old Spanish, and that the average Sephardic family only spoke the European language of their European culture.

I note you said nothing about the massacre of Jews in Baghdad following Irgun and Lehi action in Palestine. Until then, Jews had lived in peace in Baghdad.

As for Arab regimes persecuting Jews, that followed Israel denying the right of return to Palestinians who had fled after massacres like Deir Yassin. Israel set a bad precedent.
