פרעות 1945, 1948 ו-1967 בלוב

Describes pogroms in Libya between 1945-67. Pogroms in and near Tripoli in November 1945 resulted from an economic crisis in postwar Libya, an increase in nationalist sentiments, and the indifference of the British rulers. 133 Jews were killed and ca. 400 injured, nine synagogues were desecrated, and hundreds of Jewish homes and shops were destroyed or damaged. British authorities arrested many of the rioters, but very few were punished. In June 1948 Jews were again attacked in Tripoli; although they defended themselves and the British also intervened, 14 Jews were killed, ca. 120 were injured, and hundreds of homes were damaged. In the aftermath, ca. 90% of Libya's Jews immigrated to Israel. The last pogrom against the ca. 4,000 Jews who remained, mainly in Tripoli, was perpetrated with the outbreak of the Six-Day War in 1967. 17 Jews were killed; the rest were allowed to travel to Italy, from where many immigrated to Israel.
