The last Jew in Afghanistan. "Locals refer to Zebulon Simentov, 47, simply as 'the Jew.'" The BBC has profiled him; as has the the BBC. Onlineathens and the timesonline wrote about a feud with a co-religionist. Lastly, he's celebrated and congratulated at a blog. Wait! He's all over the place! He's the last Jew in Afghanistan for 771 google pages.

  • Google RESULTS, not pages. damn
  • And he's the HAPPIEST JEW OF THEM ALL!!!
  • What I want to know is, with his Muslim neighbors, does he speak Pashto or Dari?
  • Wait wait wait. His name is 'Zebulon'. That is, like, the greatest fucking name evar.
  • Named after this guy? Is he at all peaked? (I couldn't resist.)
  • This guy is not the last Jew in Afghanistan. He's just the attention-whoringest. In another culture he would be cutting himself on Myspace. The other Afghani Jews are keeping it quiet.
  • Nah, I think he's named after this guy.
  • Dr. Mabuse, I meant to convey that "attention-whoringest" is exactly what he seems to be. Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum is a great place, Underpants Monster - have you been there? Oh my. Fritz Lang, Grandpa Walton, Shakespeare (whose plays are performed at Theatricum Botanicum), and the recent history of Afghanistan in one small thread. Yowsa!
