Last Afghan Jew demands $10 million in order to move to Israel
Zabulon Simantov, the last remaining Jew to leave Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover, initially agreed to be flown to Israel. He is now demanding $10 million in order to do so.
Zabulon Simantov, an Afghan Jew, prays at a Jewish cemetery in Kabul November 5, 2013. In his 50s, Simintov is the last known Afghan Jew to remain in the country. He has become something of a celebrity over the years and his rivalry with the next-to-last Jew, who died in 2005, inspired a play.(photo credit: REUTERS/OMAR SOBHANI)ByJERUSALEM POST STAFF
