Again, Gold Silk did not see the victims Israel today

The former chairman of ZAK made another assassination attempt, this time himself • Instead of looking at the victims, accepting responsibility for his actions and asking for forgiveness, he chose to make himself a victim • Opinion

Judas' last act is no less violent than the acts of atrocity attributed to him.

He is cruel to the complainants against him, he is aggressive towards the journalists who published the investigation into his actions and the silence mechanism he allegedly built around him, he is abusive towards his family members, he is violent towards society as a whole.

Suicide is ostensibly an act of terrible despair that evokes compassion and pangs of conscience.

I have no compassion, not even pangs of conscience.

Suicide is murder, it is the destruction of the image of God in man.

According to the investigation, for years gold silk murdered the souls of children, boys, girls and women in rooms.

"For when one rises up against another and kills a soul yes this thing," so the Torah compares in Deuteronomy between an act of rape and murder.

The desire of a man, a man or a woman, while forcibly turning them into a server tool for the fulfillment of lusts, is the murder of the soul.

The rapist stands in front of another person, but instead of seeing him / her as a photographer of God - a personality in himself with desires and feelings - he sees only a body.

Thus remains the victim who is a soul uncle.

When the affair was exposed I had a hard time digesting how good and evil can be so radically present in the same person.

How can a person who has dedicated his life to the grace of truth, to the preservation of the honor of the dead, thus desecrate the honor of the living?

Does good stand on its own, or does evil and cruelty nullify it?

As more hard evidence accumulated, I realized that what is good in a person in such an extreme is actually a reflection of evil.

Image manipulation, to hunt down more victims and gain power and public status in order to cover up crime. 

For years he has been obsessed with gold silk building a public image of the golden man, the good man.

When the evil and the ugly were discovered, and the wall of silence was breached, Golden Silk committed another assassination attempt, this time his own.

Instead of once looking into the eyes of the victims, seeing them, their plight, accepting real responsibility for his actions and asking for forgiveness, he chose to make himself a victim, and thus hurt them again.

The cowardly forgiveness he left behind is abusive forgiveness.

It is easy to lament the media, for hanging people in the town square without trial.

But it is precisely this sad story that testifies as a thousand witnesses that without media exposure the harm would have continued.

After all, the ultra-Orthodox street knew, the police knew, the Magen organization, which accompanies victims in the ultra-Orthodox society, knew.

All of them were left helpless in the face of the victims' fear of the terror that was used to silence them. 

From the verse in the book of Deuteronomy that compares rape to murder, sages learned a halachah that states that those exposed to the rape that is about to take place, are obligated to stop the horror at all costs, even at the cost of the rapist's life. The golden silk was a ticking time bomb. The journalists who exposed his actions fulfilled their duty and prevented the next rape. The complainants, who collected the pieces of their robbed souls and found the strength to testify, prevented the next soul murder.
