The Human Cost of Terror

Please watch this presentation about the victims of terror in Israel, from aish.com.

Each and every one of these lives has been shattered to no end, and the pain is immeasurable. Every one of the surviving victims deserves the love, care and the attention of the Jewish people in order for them to fully rehabilitate and rebuild their shattered lives.

Please pay special attention to entry number 2, the story of Yosef and Lydia Hakali. Yosef is a deaf Jewish Iranian who moved to Israel. Not only was he the victim of a suicide bombing; he survived the blast, but was subsequently attacked by the suspecting bystanders because he was mistaken to be the perpetrator because he looks Middle Eastern. Days before the terror attack his wife who is also deaf was preparing for her travel to Montreal for treatment of other serious medical complications, but she did not go for obvious reasons.

I appeal to our Jewish Iranian community in the US and Israel who is blessed with the means and the will for chessed, to help bring the Hakalis to the US or Canada for Lydia’s necessary medical treatments, or whatever else that the may need.

I do not know Yosef and Lydia Hakali personally and have no idea how to contact them, however I am sure that they can be contacted through Aish or OneFamilyFund
