The term “Japa Syndrome” has been used to describe the growing attitude or trend of people leaving their home countries, especially from Africa, to re-settle in other parts of the world. This phenomenon is not unique to Africa, as migration has been part of human history for centuries in many regions.¹ For example, the Jewish people experienced large- scale migration long ago, moving from their homeland to different continents and countries. This movement was not random but happened in large movements and also at certain times in history. The effects of such migrations can be seen even today, such as in the ongoing disputes over land between the Jews and Palestinians, a conflict that has led to numerous wars over time, including the most recent outbreak in May 2021, which even attracted the involvement of other Islamic neighboring Countries such as Hezbollah from Lebanon.²
