Controversial Israeli rabbi calls disaster 'divine justice'

 


Controversial Israeli Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu has caused widespread outrage after claiming that the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria was "divine justice." In an op-ed published in the Olam Katan newspaper, Eliyahu stated that God was punishing these countries for their treatment of the Jewish people.

This statement, which has been widely criticized, minimizes the devastating impact of the earthquake and ignores the loss of life and widespread destruction it caused. The earthquake resulted in over 28,000 deaths and affected millions of people in Turkey and Syria.

Eliyahu's controversial remarks and views on Israel's Arab and Palestinian population are well-known. In 2008, he called for "state-sanctioned revenge" against Arabs and in 2019, he made comments encouraging teenagers suspected of murder to pursue political power through prison.

It is never appropriate to use natural disasters to advance political or religious agendas. Instead, our focus should be on supporting the affected communities and helping those in need. In the wake of the earthquake, numerous countries from around the world have come together to provide aid and support.

The relationship between Turkey and Israel has been rocky in recent years, but full diplomatic relations were restored in 2016. The recent earthquake has shown that, despite political tensions, humanity and compassion can transcend borders. We should strive to build bridges and work towards a more peaceful and understanding world.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...

“A Reminder for the Role of Nuclear Program”

This is something great that I want to share about what I read today. It’s how whether or not Iran's nuclear program is expected for non military personnel purposes or for creating atomic weapons is quite possibly the most major problem with regards to local and worldwide harmony and security. The reaction to this inquiry will characterize what approaches different governments should seek after toward the Iranian system and its atomic aspirations. Yet, on the off chance that we carefully look at the historical backdrop of Tehran's nuclear program, it becomes completely clear that it was planned for creating nuclear weapons from the beginning. For me, the other reason would the system's nuclear record be loaded up with mystery and undercover exercises, when the Iranian chiefs could really benefit on the off chance that they uncovered all their atomic locales?
