This is just more proof of the Zionist bias of the AmeriKan MSM of which I am absolutely fed up with.

"For the last Jews of Calcutta, a guardian in life and death; Where once there were thousands, only a few remain" by Sam Dolnick, Associated Press | September 21, 2008
CALCUTTA - Repopulating the community would be tough. There aren't many unmarried Jewish women in Calcutta - Israel is single and doesn't know any women younger than 60. His sister married a Hindu, for which the elders shunned her. The last Jewish wedding anyone can remember was in 1982.
Oh, isn't the JEWISH RACISM sweet!!
What an ARROGANT bunch of ASSHOLE PRICKS the Jewish supremacists are, huh?
In this country of 1.1 billion people, there are believed to be roughly 5,000 Jews - not enough to be counted as a distinct group in the Indian census. Jews first came to India as traders some 250 years ago, and today their largest community is in Mumbai, the country's most cosmopolitan city.
Calcutta's first Jews are thought to have come in the late 18th century, descendants of the Baghdad Jews who came from Syria, Iran, and Iraq.
None came from Palestine, huh?
They thrived as diamond traders, real estate dealers, exporters, spice wholesalers, and bakers - one bakery famous for its plum cakes still stands, run by the founder's octogenarian grandson. Rickshaws and taxis still ply Synagogue Street and other roads named for prominent Jews.
The Jewish community built at least five synagogues and two schools. Today, there are 700 students at Elias Meyer Free School and Talmud Torah. Not one is Jewish, and nothing particularly Jewish is taught there.
In the 1930s and 1940s, Calcutta was a bustling, raucous hub, and Jews formed a solid minority, their wedding parties and religious feasts flowing down the temple steps. Jews were players at the popular horse track - Israel remembers his father's racehorses, Onslaught, War Dance, and Black Toy - and they were regulars at the fashionable restaurants. Jews rarely faced discrimination, mainly because "no one knew who we were," said Ian Zackariah, 64.
As a community, "We were too small to bully," he said. "There were so many other people to beat up - Hindus versus Muslims, high castes versus lower castes. Who's going to pick on us?"
And WHO BENEFITS when the Hindus are at Muslim throats, huh?
And as for bullying, how about checking the Zionist regime's treatment of Palestinians first?!! You wanna talk about a band of war-criminal bullies take a good, long look at Iz-ray-HELL!!!!
The birth of independent India in 1947, and the creation of Israel the next year, marked the beginning of the end for Calcutta's Jews. Many left for the new Jewish state; others moved to Europe or the United States in search of better opportunities.
Some stayed behind, but life was different. During services, women left the balcony, where they used to sit in keeping with Jewish custom, and sat with the men in the main hall - the synagogue felt too empty otherwise.
Gee, how come you always here about MUSLIM OPPRESSION of WOMEN in the Zionist-controlled, agenda-pushing shit sheets, but you NEVER hear about the JEWISH SEXISM and OPPRESSION.
Here, chew on this one for a while: Jews in the American porn industry
Slowly, the Jewish butchers put away their knives, the bakers turned off their ovens, and the teachers boxed up their Hebrew books.
Awwww! Good.
