Notes	The Jewish community in Iraq was one of the largest and most ancient Arab Jewish communities. Their number before the displacement operations was estimated at about 150 thousand individuals, most of whom were distributed in major cities such as Baghdad, Mosul, Erbil, Basra, and others. Some of the Jews of Baghdad were among the richest Jews in the world, including money changers and international merchants. The Jews lived during the time of Ottoman control in Iraq, and they and all sects had the opportunity to participate in the national and national movement, and they participated side by side with their Arab brothers in the service of Iraq, by establishing schools and carrying out commercial, banking, and other work. Among them, representatives and representatives appeared in the Iraqi parliament and assumed senior positions in the Iraqi state ministries during the time of monarchy in Iraq. The decline in the economic situation of Iraqi Jews after independence did not prevent them from engaging in the national movement. The Iraqi constitution did not neglect the rights of this important segment of the Iraqi people, as the first constitution of the Iraqi government in 1925 stipulated the principle of full rights to citizenship. Article Six of the Constitution also stipulates that different sects have the right to establish schools to educate their members in their own language, provided that they are compatible with the general curricula of Iraq. The Jews had six representatives in the Iraqi parliament in 1946, like the Christian community, but their representation was canceled in 1952 after the mass migration to Palestine.
