Young Bride Reunites with the EMT Who Saved her Life

 

EMT Michael Cohen at Dikla's bedside and at her wedding.

On Wednesday, October 21, 2015, United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Michael Cohen was on his way home on his ambucycle from Jerusalem to the town of Adam, when his communications device alerted him to a medical emergency that occurred just outside his town. A terrorist had stabbed a female soldier who began bleeding at an alarming rate which posed an immediate threat to her life. Michael turned on his siren and sped over to the traffic circle at the entrance to Adam, where the stabbing had taken place.

Michael arrived together with two United Hatzalah volunteers. After making sure the scene was safe and the terrorist neutralized, the three EMTs located the young woman, Dikla Megidish, who was suffering from a stab wound to her neck. The knife had been removed from the wound leaving a gushing wound spurting bright red blood. The EMTs assessed that the knife had torn right through the woman’s carotid artery, leaving her very few minutes to live before she bled out completely.

With no time to lose, Michael quickly applied pressure to Dikla’s artery, using his fingers as a makeshift tourniquet. The two other EMTs helped control any other bleeding as Michael held on to the carotid artery. After a few minutes, a mobile intensive care ambulance arrived at the scene. The crew carefully took control over Michael’s makeshift tourniquet and then loaded the woman on the ambulance to be transported to Hadassah hospital.

When Dikla arrived at the hospital, she was sedated and attached to a respirator. The next day, just as Shabbat was entering, Dikla’s family contacted Michael and informed him that she was awake and in recovery after surgery. That Saturday night, Michael and the two EMTs drove to Hadassah hospital to visit the young woman they had saved.

Two weeks ago, Michael received an invitation in the mail. The woman was engaged and getting married and invited Michael to share in her happiness, six years later. Last Tuesday night, Michael attended the wedding and was welcomed with huge hugs from the entire family.

“When I went to the wedding I was nervous at what the reunion would be like,” Michael admitted. “I hadn’t seen Dikla in six years, I wondered if she would recognize me, especially during her wedding, would she come and say hello. I was pleasantly surprised. When I arrived, the beautiful bride Dikla spotted me from across the room and ran over to embrace me. The groom told me how honored he was to see me, and they insisted that we take a picture together. Reuniting with Dikla at her wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to see how I really did save an entire world.”

Pentagon Confirms Evacuated Afghans Being Sent to Texas, Wisconsin, Virginia

 

The Defense Department has confirmed that Afghans evacuated from Afghanistan, and applying for visas to the United States, will be sent to U.S. military bases in Texas, Wisconsin, and Virginia. 

For days, reports had circulated that the roughly 22,000 Afghans that President Joe Biden’s administration plans to bring to the U.S. would first be sent to military bases in a number of states.

 On Tuesday, Defense Department official Gary Reed confirmed to the Texas Tribune that the thousands of Afghans applying for visas will be sent to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, and Fort McCoy in Monroe County, Wisconsin, in addition to Fort Lee in Prince George County, Virginia. “There may be other sites identified if services are needed, additional capacity is needed,” Reed said and suggested the administration “can expand if we need to” the number of Afghans being resettled in the U.S. above the 22,000 estimate. 

The Afghans will temporarily stay at the three military bases, as they apply for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), P-1 visas, and P-2 visas, before eventually being resettled in American communities. Nine refugee contractors — who have a vested interest in ensuring as many refugees are resettled across the U.S. as possible because their annual federally-funded budgets are contingent on the number of refugees they resettle — will help resettle Afghans.

Last Jew in Afghanistan vows to remain despite Taliban takeover ... Typical Attitude of Every "Chutz Le'aaretz" Jew

 

After Taliban forces entered Kabul on Sunday, signalling the fall of Afghanistan after a 20-year American presence in the country, the only remaining Afghani Jew, said he was bracing himself for the new regime.

Zabulon Simantov, 62, has spent his entire life in the capital of Kabul, serving as the caretaker of the city's synagogue.

Simantov announced in March of this year that he would leave the country for good following the Jewish High Holidays in September, citing fears of a possible Taliban takeover following the US withdrawal.

"The Taliban have tried to convert me and I've been imprisoned four times," Simantov told WION News.

Simantov's current whereabouts are unknown, with concern for his fate being expressed on social media.

"Is anyone else sitting on their couch crying because they're scared for Zebulon Simantov?" asked one Twitter user, with others saying they were praying for his safety.

With Simantov's departure, the synagogue will close and 2,000 years of Jewish history in Afghanistan will come to an end. An estimated 40,000 Jews lived in central-Asian nation at the start of the 20th Century.

Shocking video shows bloody hatchet attack in Lower Manhattan ATM

 

Horrifying new surveillance video shows the moment a 51-year-old man was brutally attacked by a hatchet-wielding maniac while at a lower Manhattan ATM.

The footage, obtained by The Post on Tuesday, shows the victim at one of the ATMs inside a Chase Bank vestibule on Broadway near Beaver Street in the Financial District shortly before 5:30 p.m. Sunday when the attacker walks in, removes a hatchet from a dark bag, sneaks up behind him and begins slashing him.

The frightened and bloodied victim tries to fend off the brutal assault, falling to the floor several times as he futilely attempts to grab his crazed assailant’s weapon, the footage shows.

When the unidentified attacker is finished beating the victim, he smashes the screens of the cash-dispensing machines before walking away — and leaving the hatchet and his backpack behind, according to police.

The wounded man was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, where he remained Tuesday in the intensive care unit.

In a brief bedside interview with The Post, the dazed victim, with his head wrapped in a large bandage, recalled part of the viscous attack.

“A man was there with a hatchet and [hit] my head … and my leg,” said the victim in Spanish.

Before 10 p.m. Tuesday night, police in Chelsea apprehended a suspect who fit the description of the hatchet-attacker, law enforcement sources said.

The 37-year-old man was smashing car windows near 19th Street and Seventh Avenue when officers in a 10th Precinct patrol car spotted him, according to the sources.

He was taken to Bellevue Hospital for an evaluation, and as of late Tuesday night had not been charged, sources said. 

Taliban kill woman for not wearing burqa on same day it vows to honor ‘women’s rights’

 

Taliban fighters shot and killed a woman for not wearing a burqa in Afghanistan Tuesday — the same day the group pledged to usher in a new inclusive era in the country that honors “women’s rights.”

A photo emerged of a woman in Takhar province lying in a pool of blood, with loved ones crouched around her, after she was killed by insurgents for being in public without a head covering, according to Fox News.

The killing came amid the outfit’s version of a charm offensive, after its swift takeover of the country in the absence of US troops, who had been propping up allied military groups since shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid held a news conference to say that the insurgents would honor women’s rights, within the highly restrictive Sharia law. The militants urged women to return to school and work, and another Taliban spokesman granted a televised interview to a female journalist.

Mujahid also vowed to grant amnesty to Afghans who worked with the now toppled government architected by the US.

When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan before 9/11, it prevented women and girls from leaving the house without a male chaperone, and did not allow them to work or receive an education.

Insurgents also vowed Tuesday not to interfere with US-led evacuation efforts of Westerners and their Afghan allies, but were instead reported to be controlling the entrances of Hamid Karzai International Airport, and attacking those who were trying to flee.

There was kids, women, babies, old women, they could barely walk,” an Afghan former State Department contractor told Fox. “They [are in a] very, very bad situation, I’m telling you. At the end, I was thinking that there was like 10,000 or more than 10,000 people, and they’re running into the airport … The Taliban [were] beating people and the people were jumping from the fence, the concertina wire, and also the wall.”

Elsewhere in Kabul, Taliban fighters were recorded shooting guns as they patrolled neighborhoods home to activists and government workers, according to the report.

Militants were looking for people who had helped the US, and had questioned the former defense contractor’s neighbors about him, according to the report.

Former CIA analyst and MSNBC guest Matt Zeller criticized President Joe Biden’s speech on the ongoing Afghanistan crisis amid praise for it from the liberal network's hosts.

Biden addressed the nation from the White House on Monday over the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan after Biden's troop withdrawal. Zeller appeared with hosts Brian Williams and Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House" to discuss the speech at length.

Williams complimented Biden’s speech, claiming "he didn’t run" from his responsibility to the Afghan people.

"He didn't run from it. He owned it. He owned the fact that, as he put it, the buck stops with him," Williams said.

"I hope he gets to own their deaths too," Zeller fired back.

Zeller spent most of his appearance criticizing Biden’s speech, as well as the administration’s actions in withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

"I feel like I watched a different speech than the rest of you guys. I was appalled. There was such a profound bold-faced lie in that speech. The idea we planned for every contingency? I have been personally trying to tell this administration since it took office. I have been trying to tell our government for years this was coming. We sent them plan after plan on how to evacuate these people. Nobody listened to us," Zeller said.

Zeller also slammed the administration for not having adequate plans to evacuate the thousands of Afghan citizens looking to escape Taliban rule.

Wallace previously complimented Biden’s speech saying "95% of the American people will agree with everything [President Biden] just said. 95% of the press covering this White House will disagree."
