Последният евреин в Афганистан успешно е избягал от страната миналия месец. И казва "Израел не трябва да разчита на САЩ"

Знае ги нещата човекът, изпитал ги е на гърба си.
Информацията за бягството е оскъдна. Бил минал границата "с трекинг", тоест по пътеките. Помогнал му е еврейски бизнесмен на име Моти Каана. И държавата имала желание, но не могла да се притече толкова бързо.
Last Jew out of Afghanistan warns Israel: ‘Don’t rely on the United States’
Не се знае къде е сега Зебулон Семантов, но след 25 години раздяла (или развод) най-сетне е дал на жена си "гит", т.е. някакво религиозно таковата, което и позволява да се омъжва пак.
На такива мъже, дето след развода пречат на бившата половинка да се обвърже, им викали "окователи на жените", и това религиозно правило било най-дискриминационната проява на юдаизма. Церемонията по "развързване" на жената станала онлайн.

Zebulon Simantov, Afghanistan’s last Jew, who fled the Taliban’s rule earlier this month, warned Israel that it can’t rely on the United States, as he gave his first interview to Israeli media since his escape.
Simantov, 62, who left Afghanistan by trekking across the border to a neighboring country, told the Kan public broadcaster on Tuesday that he’d had no option but to leave once the Taliban had taken over. He spoke to the station via an interpreter and the report did not reveal which country he was currently in.
“I was in danger every day,” he said. “I protected the synagogue for years and now I had no choice.”
Simantov panned the US for its chaotic withdrawal in August after a 20-year presence in Afghanistan that ousted the Taliban and aimed at building a democracy. As the Taliban surged back to power, the US swiftly pulled its forces out, leaving behind thousands of foreigners and Afghan allies who scrambled to escape the Taliban and their hardline Islamic ideology.
“I say to Israel, don’t rely on the United States,” Simantov said. “The United States and the international community brought bloodshed to Afghanistan. They didn’t bring peace and left the citizens in this situation.”
Despite his criticism, Simantov said he intends to move to the US, though the process was being held up by bureaucracy and difficulty in obtaining the necessary paperwork.
Businessman Moti Kahana, who assisted in getting Simantov out of Afghanistan, told Kan that Israeli officials were trying to help “but it is not moving fast enough.”
Simantov also wants to visit Israel, he said, to see friends.
“I am very eager to travel to Israel and see lots of people there,” he told Kan.
And he still holds out hope of going home again.
“If there is peace, of course, I will go back to Afghanistan,” he said.
Simantov was confident that a synagogue in Kabul, which he looked after for years even though he was the only Jew left, is secure, being guarded, and the Taliban will not destroy it.
Since leaving Afghanistan, Simantov has granted his wife a divorce after refusing for more than 20 years.
He reportedly had in the past refused to leave Afghanistan and travel to Israel in order to avoid dealing with his divorce and with rabbinic authorities, who sanction those who do not grant a Jewish divorce.
Явно религиите не са това, което бяха. Вярата в Господ е силна, но след десетилетия охрана на синагогата накрая г-н Семантов я е изоставил. И като класически сащофоб и последовател на Яхве(?), заявил, че му се живее в САЩ, ако има как да получи разрешение. Много му се ходело в Израел, но само за да се види с познатите си.
