Afghanistan’s last known Jew has “had enough” and plans to leave the country this autumn.

Zabulon Simantov, a carpet and jewelry merchant, lives on the same Kabul compound as Afghanistan’s only synagogue.

His decision to move to Israel after the High Holy Days this autumn came, he told Arab News, as a result of losing hope for peace in the country. Mr Simantov’s wife and daughters live in Israel.

It looks empty, but its not.

Yaweh is all pervasive.

Allah on the other hand is a wrathful demon by comparison who requires absolute submission.Allah is a evolutionary composite of Baal and Ninartha-Sin. Sins crescent moon still is used prominently in the iconography of Islam.

Needless to say, Yahweh and Allah are not the same god with different names as many Muslims would have us believe.

This photo shows an empty room but it is very full.

Afghanistan is impoverished by the absence of the Jewish people.

God loves Life. Preserve your life. Live in Israel by all means — but live.

That guy must be a bit of a badass, to be a Jew in a nation like that.

Russia attacked in 1979 and it has been nonstop since then, over 40 years, the guy finally wised up but certainly gave it a chance.
