Aleppo's Jewish population has moved abroad voluntarily? I find this line to be more than a little suspicious, given the history of Jewish persecution in Arab countries immediatly following the creation of the state of Israel. Could someone more knowledgeable than I look into the accuracy of this statement?
As mentioned in the article, the Jewish minority has moved voluntarily. In fact, not all of them have moved, some 1000 Jew are still living in Damascus.
Yeah, the Jewish community moved abroad voluntarily, allright, despite the best efforts of the Syrian government to prevent it. Some were even killed trying to sneak over the border to Turkey. As to why Jews would risk their lives to leave, a small part of the story is found here.

Deleted section. If someone can make it encyclopedic, then they should fix it. ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 03:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox
Can't we use more than one Infobox at the same time? Because it's a city before a world heritage site. Asabbagh 01:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of name
There appears to be a folk-etymology in the 1st paragraph, and serious discussion in the 3rd. I suggest removing the fol-etymology. Comments? Jd2718 21:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- I suggest keeping both, but merging them in one of those two paragraphs. Also, the 'serious' discussion could be placed first or emphasized, but I am opposed to removing the 'folk-etymology', as it still is proper to include it here. Asabbagh 22:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
