Naomi Perlman, a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor who was seriously wounded at her Ashkelon home by shrapnel in a Hamas rocket attack during Operation Guardian of the Walls in May, died on Sunday, KAN News reported.
Perlman’s Indian caregiver, Santosh Sumaya, was killed in the attack, and Perlman was evacuated to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, where she remained until her death.
“If there is anyone who deserves to be called the ultimate survivor it is her,” her son, Shuki Perlman, was quoted by KAN as saying. “It was nine months of fighting. I did not believe she would survive. She came without a pulse and blood pressure to Barzilai.”
“I showed her pictures of her new great-granddaughter ,and she smiled,” KAN quoted Shuki Perlman as saying. “I flew to see my daughter and returned a week ago. I was with her last night; it was as if she was waiting for me to say goodbye.”
Hamas felt the need to celebrate its accomplishment, as Joe Truzman of FDD noted.
“Last night, the Zionist media announced the death of a Zionist usurper, as a result of serious injuries she sustained as a result of the intensive Qassam (rocket) bombardment which targeted the occupied city of Ashkelon during the battle of the “Sword of Jerusalem”.
“The usurper Naomi Perelman, 91, from Ashkelon, was killed as a result of the serious wounds she sustained, noting that another Zionist was killed in the same incident at the time.”
A helpful reminder that Islamic terrorists are both evil and cowardly. And that there’s no low too low for them to sink to.

At least the vermin can’t harm her now.
Safe journey Naomi.

The jihadists of Hamas by cerebrating the murder of this elderly Jewish women those jihad-minded Muslims showing their own malice-filled hearts
It is written in the Bible “He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished” Proverbs 17:5. [N.K.J.V.

Islam honors gratuitous violence that hurts kafirs … even Mohammed permitted sadistic brutality.
Sira verse 980: “When Zayd had raided the Fazara tribe, he and others were injured. Zayd swore he would never have sex until he had avenged his injuries. When he was well, Mohammed sent him against the Fazara. He was successful and captured some of the women. One of them was an old woman, Umm Qirfa, whose husband he had killed. Zayd tied a rope to each leg of Umm Qirfa and tied each rope to a camel and pulled her apart. Her daughter was taken captive and passed around to three different men to use as they would for their pleasure.”
Hamas is imitating the early Muslims who worked with Mohammed. They were sadistic thugs.

Celebrating an innocent persons death like this, takes me back to 9/ll. I clearly remember the celebrations in the streets, the giving out of sweets, patting each other on the back, hugging each other. These celebrations were taking place all over the islamic world, it was something I just couldn’t get my head round.
I thought to myself, what the hell is going on here, why are they rejoicing in the slaughter of thousands of innocent people. But in those days I was clueless to what islam was all about, I had no idea that such a satanic religion existed, and it’s followers will praise everything that is truly evil.

Agreed, John. You learn a lot about people by seeing what they celebrate.
James Lincoln says
Rightly so, gravenimage.
May I also add “and how they spend their money”.
gravenimage says
True, James. Also who they laud as heroes.
Islam is ugly on all of these counts.

Hamas Celebrates Murder of 91-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor
………………
This *poor woman* and her caregiver. This has been a bad day for nonegenarian victims of Islam–an 91-year-old Christian murdered in Bangladesh, and women in their 90s raped in Spain and Norway.
God, I hate Islam.
OLD GUY says
Only Islam celebrates the death and murder of individuals because of their religious belief. Not only do they celebrate it they promote their followers to carry out these murders in the name of Islam. There is a reason that Islamic leaders promote this, it’s simply intimidation of non-islamic followers and the fear it creates for Islamic followers who may want out of this cult. EVIL!

Yes–and this is an especially vulnerable victim, who presented no threat to anyone.
