World Organization of Jews from Arab Countries (WOJAC) was an international propaganda organization, created in 1975,[1] representing Jewish refugees from Arab countries. The World Organization of Jews from Arab Countries was created to make certain that any "just settlement of the refugee problem" recognizes those Jews who were forced to flee from lands where they had lived for centuries.[2]
The WOJAC functioned for approximately 25 years (from 1975 until 1999).[3][dubious ] WOJAC's aspiration was to operate in the national arena, to counterbalance the claims of the Palestinian leadership on the right to the land and on the refugee question.
