On Tuesday, the Geller Report brought you exclusive news about a delegation of South Sudanese, led by the courageous freedom activist Simon Deng, that traveled to Israel in order to show solidarity with the Jewish and Israeli people in their hour of need.
The South Sudanese have been traveling to cities in southern Israel, offering aid to those who have been hit hardest by Hamas’ demonic Oct. 7 attack. At one farm that had no workers, as they have all gone to fight in the war, the South Sudanese offered their services for free. Simon Deng noted: “The farmers could not believe the intense love of people they don’t even know, for them and for the entirety of the land of Israel. They were in tears, as was I. For me to witness that, as a friend of the Jewish community, was an extraordinarily powerful experience. I hope that I was able to contribute something, along with my fellow South Sudanese, because of our great love for Israel.”
The South Sudanese also walked the forty-one miles from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, carrying Israeli flags and showing their solidarity with the Israeli people. Simon Deng says that the walk took two days and was “very intense.” The South Sudanese, as well as many onlookers, were overcome with powerful emotions as they traversed the Jewish state. Simon stated that numerous people stopped along the highway to thank the South Sudanese for their demonstration of support, which is so rare in these days in which the world is inundated with anti-Israel propaganda.
Gd bless Simon Deng and the others in this heroic and generous South Sudanese delegation. May many more follow in their footsteps.
