Simon was kidnapped, sold as a slave to an Arab family and lived in brutal slavery for the next three and a half years before he managed to escape. More in this intro to Simon:
One MILLION Sudanese are expected to die due to famine. Over 50,000 killed in 2024 to date, mostly civilians. Where is the outcry? Campus protests? Black Lives Matter? Biden, Blinken. Hashtag Solidarity at least?
While Deng, a victim of child slavery spoke to the rally .... the always offensive Crackhead Barney, a muslim-american (real name Fauziya Suni) whose parents immigrated from Nigeria... mocked and crashed the event.
"BARNEY" should choose her "DaDa" street theatre improvs more carefully."Dadaism's main purpose was to challenge the social norms of society, and purposefully make art that would shock, confuse, or outrage people."
RESPECT thy name is NOT CrackHead Barney.
Since October 7th, Simon has used his voice to advocate for Israel. In December 2023, he led a solidarity walk from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to bring awareness to the hostages and to the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, and to show that the South Sudanese and African communitiesstand with Israel and the Jews.
.An OPEN LETTER from Nobel Prize winning contemporary German writer, HertaMuller, maybe be too much for the 'educated elites" to accept, to admit the necessity of this shocking wake-up call to the West – (to not turn away from) the madness that has gripped parts of Western society since Hamas attacked Israel.
"...I have the impression that the strategy ofHamas and its supporters is to make everything Israeli, and therefore everything Jewish, unbearable to the world.
Hamas wants to maintain anti-Semitism as a permanent global mood. That is why it also wants to reinterpret the Shoah. The Nazi persecution and the rescue flight to Palestine are also to be called into question. And ultimately, the right of Israel to exist.
... With all these stacked constructs, Israel is no longer seen as the only democracy in the Middle East, but as a colonialist model state. And as an eternal aggressor, against whom blind hatred is justified. And even the desire for its destruction..." [https://tinyurl.com/36zy6xc8]
The destruction of the Jews and the destruction of Israel remain the goal and desire of Hamas. Exactly the same as in Iran.
When it comes to addressing the growing global anti-Semitism, all we hear from the Friends/Quakers, Salvation Army, Hollywood celebrities .. the Do-Gooders who preach WORLD PEACE:
CRICKETS!
They can't handle The Truth

March 24, 2016. Opposite the United Nations. AFSI (Americans for a Safe Israel)once again held a reading of the Megillah.
The familiar Pinocchio balloon, present at so many AFSI rallies and protests, was on call.
But, sadly, ol pinnoch' seemed to have sprung-a-leak.
No mind. All went off as planned with groggers and masks
And Larry Domnitch reading the Megillah.
The purpose of the protest this year, in 2016, was “to
celebrate the Jewish victory over the evil Haman and to expose today's
Hamans, many who are housed in the UN, or resort to the UN to support
their evil plans,” explained AFSI's executive director, Helen Freedman. Helen referred to the UN as “the United Abominable Nations.
VIDEO of the Megillah reading:
[There is a slight break in the reading. apologies. For the whole AFSI Megillah reading (from 2011) go HERE.]
There were many fine speeches after the reading that focused on the theme to "UNMASK the HAMANS". Next are some excerpts from the speakers:
Larry Domnitch,
"The UN is enablers [for so many Hamans] who call for the destruction
of Israel. We're going to stand-up today and read the Megillah, with
prayer and hope that by NEXT Purim the world will look to Israel and
realize that Israel is a truly an alliance of faith."
Helen Freedman, "...
To Keep Iran from promoting their program... Everything is a
deception. Today we have to worry about a Nuclear bomb. To worry about
Iran. Who do we blame. Unfortunately we can see what Obama has done. We
have a failed government that has allowed the genocide of Christians
throughout the Middle East and Africa. Simon Deng is here with
us today. (from Sudan) He has his own story of torture and deprivation.
Going on for years. Nothing has changed. It only gets worse. Syria and
Iraq. ALL part of what the Haman is. America is the strongest country in the whole world and we have let the world down. This President won't even name Islamic Terrorism
... It's a scourge. A sickness. A cancer. Torture. Evil. We have an
opportunity, an election, to get the people in to office who will do
what's best for America. What's best for the Sudan. Israel. Our allies.
NOT for our enemies. We each have the opportunity to influence other
people...like Esther. Action is what it's all about. "
Jonathan Grauman, "It's
a wonderful mitzvah that we are all gathered here to hear the Megillah
in front of this nefarious anti-Israel institution, the United Nations.
By being here, we are sending a message to all the Israel-haters, and
Jew-haters, that we will no longer remain silent in light of what
transpires behind those walls across the street. Four mitvot, to hear
Megillah, to give charity (to those less fortunate), gifts of food to
fellow Jews/exchange gifts, gather around the table for food. Custom
giving half a schekel, equalizes everybody. The unity of the Jewish
Nation. We're all in this together. No one is better than anybody else.
In eyes of G-d we are ALL equal. Sends a powerful message of unity.
Helps us commit to our Judaism. Sends a message to those Israel-haters
across the street ( and around the world) that we Jews do stick
together. We are united with our brothers and friends, we cannot be
beaten. So, today, Israel and the Western world in general, all facing
unprecedented threats from Islam. No question about it. Not just radical
Islam, but basically ISLAM. And standing here in unity, reading and
hearing the Megillah, it sends a message that we are UNIFIED and that we
are STRONG. And just like in the days of Mordecai and Esther, we shall
confront the threats that are facing us and we shall prevail. We shall
win."
Ken Abramowitz, President American Friends of Likud, is on a crusade to save Western Civilization (SavetheWest.com) The
Amalekites show up every generation. (Haman and the Amalekites were
2400 years ago.) Who are the Amalekites today? There are FOUR (not just
one) and they are not only enemies of the Jews, they are the enemies of
the Christians. We are both now fighting for our collective lives. [he
color codes his Haman/Amalekites of today)
1. RED - Socialists. Communists.The eliminate G-d and the Government becomes god. 2. BLUE -
The United Nations (The enemy of Western Civilization. It doesn't
represent ANY of our values) Taken over by dictatorships and terror
organizations. It's time to close the United Nations in order to save
the world. 3. WHITE - Represents the Surrender Flag. Americans who think we have oceans that will protect us from the bad guys. 4. GREEN-Four
world wide-terror organizations have promised to take-over Western
Civilization. They say, Christians, Jews and Hindus will convert
(revert) to ISLAM (or we will kill them).
IRAN. Al Qaeda. causing havoc in Europe. [Unfortunately,
as he stated " any attack on any Christian, Jew or Hindu is an attack
on all us", a woman pressed him to qualify 'political" Islam - not Islam - He attempts to correlate the Mafia, Italians and Catholics so as to separate Islam from "political" Islam] Muslim Brotherhood and finally, Saudi Arabia. These are the enemies of all of us. Instead of just Jews they are threatening Christians, Hindus and Muslims. We need to unite to save Civilization from the Barbarians.
Glenn Richter, "Spoke
of the power of each individual. He mentions the Isaiah Peace Wall.
Isaiah was one person against pretty much anybody else in his time, 2500
years ago; railing against corruption in biblical Israel. ( speaking of
others) He mentions Ralph Bunche (the obelisk in this location was
named in honor him). The Shcharansky Steps used to have a sign for
Sakharov Way (examples of the power of the individual) remembering the
Shoah. Individuals were able to turn-the-tide. Who fought and fought and
fought. How many genocides are perpetrated today and what the
individuals can do today to stop these atrocities. Year after year.
Decade after decade. Each individual is very important."
Robert Sidi(Israel Advocacy Calendar) was followed by Charlie Bernhaut Bernhaut , "Encouraged, reinforced the power of the individual. The power of one person. You have to try. You never who's listening."
Judy Kadish,
"The power of one person: Esther. She was afraid to go to the king,
like so many people, who are afraid to speak up. But, Esther was warned
that her silence did not mean that she would be safe. She or her family.
(Likewise) each one of us should never assume that we have enough power
or position, or that we are safe. We ALL need to speak out. But,
regardless, we should all know that the Jewish people are going to be
fine. We have help. Not there pointing to the UN) but up there
(pointing up). We now are living in a golden age of Judaism. It is our
responsibility to build on that and to treasure it and to keep it
going...ad infinitum..."

There was a surprise guest, Simon Deng, who had been at the Isaiah Wall, preceding the Megillah reading
(handing out a flyer and a 4 page press release)
To reiterate: The purpose of the protest this year, in 2016, was “to
celebrate the Jewish victory over the evil Haman and to expose today's
Hamans, many who are housed in the UN, or resort to the UN to support
their evil plans,” explained AFSI's executive director, Helen Freedman.
