Farewell Youssef Darwish

Yesterday I was shocked to know from "10 PM" on Dream TV 2 that the famous socialist lawyer Mr. Youssef Darwish had passed away from four days ago
I feel sad for this lose , the man was living treasure of memories of the old Egypt, the Beautiful tolerant multi-ethnic country
Darwish's fame came for the fact that he was the oldest Jew / or rather ex- Jew as he converted to Islam from a short time , yet he considered himself from the Jewish community . He was the Karaite Jew who never believed in the Talmud and thus the State of Israel and that's why he never ever had gone or even supported it
I wrote about him twice , you can check it out here and there
he died at the age of 94
Please pray for him
