Remembering October 1st

I know everyone is so excited for October, and autumn, and everything else, which is fine.

However, I want to take a moment to also highlight the Vegas Shooting, October 1st, 2017. I want to remember the victims, the mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, family, friends who were lost. I want to support the survivors, the ones who will never forget, the ones who have a forever trauma. I want to not only remember this day, but demand action. I want to see federal response. I want to see change in this country.

And I really, really want people to vote.

What action do you want?

Tuvia Grossman – The Bloodied “Palestinian”

On September 30, 2000, an image of a bloodied “Palestinian” teenager crouching in front of a club-wielding Israeli policeman made front page headlines in the Associated Press, New York Times, and other major media outlets around the world. The caption, “An Israeli policeman and a Palestinian on the Temple Mount,” implied that the Israeli policeman was the cause for this unknown “Palestinian’s” battered state.

But this teenager was not a Palestinian Arab – he was Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish American yeshiva student who was pulled from his taxi in Jerusalem by a mob of Arabs and beaten to within an inch of his life. Tuvia managed to make a run for it and found an Israeli border policeman before collapsing due to blood loss. The policeman, Gidon Tzefadi, succeeded in warding off the assailants and called an ambulance for the severely injured Grossman.

Upon seeing the image of his son in the New York Times, Alan Grossman sent the following letter to the newspaper: “…that Palestinian is actually my son, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago. He, and two of his friends, were pulled from their taxicab while traveling in Jerusalem, by a mob of Palestinian Arabs, and were severely beaten and stabbed. That picture could not have been taken on the Temple Mount because there are no gas stations on the Temple Mount and certainly none with Hebrew lettering, like the one clearly seen behind the Israeli soldier attempting to protect my son from the mob.”

Although a retraction was issued, considerable damage was already done as the infamous picture circulated worldwide casting the Israeli policeman as the perpetrator. Today, Tuvia’s image can still be found in anti-Israel propaganda.

In 2010, Tuvia (who immigrated to Israel five years prior) finally met the police officer who saved his life.
