"Jews have lived throughout the Middle East and North Africa for thousands of years, of ten in communities that long pre-dated the Islamic conquest. But during the mid-twentieth century's tumultuous power shifts in the region between colonial and post colonial control, political instability, and antisemitic violence intensified to create a vast exodus, driving nearly a million Jews to emigrate to Israel and elsewhere, leaving entire countries all but dead of Jews - and leaving behind synagogues, schools, and cemeteries that served these communities for generations. The circumstances of this mas migration varied. In some places, like Morocco, the Jewish community's flight was largely voluntary, driven partly by sporadic antisemitic violence but mostly by poverty and fear of regime change. At the other extreme are countries like Iraq, where Jews were stripped of their citizenship and had their assets seized, and where, in the capital city of Baghdad, a 1941 pogrom left nearly two hundred Jews murdered and hundreds of Jewish-owned homes and businesses looted or destroyed."

Shortly after the first Gulf War, Iraqi artists installed a "dog-like" George HW Bush mosaic reading “BUSH IS CRIMINAL” in the Al Rasheed Hotel. Everyone who passed through the hotel, where most foreign dignitaries would stay, would have to walk on the face of the president.
The U.S. military was apparently unhappy with the unflattering Bush portrait. Rumor in Baghdad is that they intentionally murdered the artist, Leila al-Attar, with precision Tomahawk missiles months after installation. A strike hit her house, killing her and blinding her daughter.
U.S. soldiers smashed the Bush mosaic with hammers and chisels in 2003. The notoriously Islamophobic commander, Lt. Col. Rick Schwartz, boasted that he threw a portrait of Hussein onto the floor for soldiers to stomp on instead as they trashed and pillaged the country.
