I see this guy every Sunday at the NYC hostage rally. Today I finally asked him his story. His name is Simon, and he was born in South Sudan. When he was 9 years old, he was kidnapped and spent 3 years as a slave. He’s been living in New York for many years now, and on Oct 7th he said he felt like it was 9/11 again. He comes every single Sunday for the last 17 months to show his support. “ I know that when you ignore evil, it wins. We have to say enough is enough” Simon recently traveled to Israel with a group of south Sudanese, where they walked from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to show their support. He said he’s proud to be a friend of the Jewish community and of Israel. Thank you, Simon!
