Ik las vandaag op FB het ongelofelijke verhaal van Khaled Abdul Wahab, die alle Joden uit zijn dorp Mahdia redde van de Nazi's, en er nooit met een woord over sprak. Net als vrijwel alle andere Arabieren die Joden hielpen en/redden, werd hij door Yad Vashem afgewezen voor hun onderscheiding😔

Why hasn’t Yad Vashem honored more Arabs for saving Jews?
The search for lost 'righteous' Muslims who put themselves in mortal danger for Jews continues as the Arab world increasingly educates itself about the Holocaust

The problem with "a world without cows"? It used to be bison in the USA and they have a different more benign influence on the North American plains. Cows are the issue more often than not.
