Across the Jerusalem divide, a life saved
Excerpt:
It was the final days of Ramadan, and there had been some minor clashes between local Arabs and Israeli security forces in the area, and Attias happened to be nearby. A certified medic, he noticed Azloni lying on the ground and rushed to his assistance. After a long attempt to resuscitate him, Azloni’s heart rate was restored and stabilized. He woke up in a hospital several days later.
“No one came to help me, none of the brothers, no Arabs. Only one Orthodox Jewish man came to help me,” Azloni’s brother recounted him as saying upon his awakening. “I want to meet the man that saved me.”
“I’m hard to forget,” Attias noted, motioning with a smile to his big crocheted skullcap, sidelocks and beard.
Azloni welcomed Attias to his home in the Old City’s Muslim Quarter with a hug and a traditional kiss on the cheek. They then sat together on a sofa, with Attias’s arm around the back of Azloni. One of Azloni’s young children came to sit between them, and later high-fived the Jewish guest.
