Yemenite Jews: what Wikipedia removed

Yemenite Jews are the Jewish diaspora community native to Yemen. In 2015 the opening said: “The few remaining Jews experience intense, and at times violent, anti-Semitism on a daily basis.” Today the opening covers historical persecution and emigration but not the situation of Jews still in Yemen; the word survives six times elsewhere in the article, not the opening. A reader today does not learn from the opening that the few Jews remaining in Yemen face intense, sometimes violent antisemitism daily.

The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 6. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
