The trampling attack on Friday turned my stomach.
How is a man, and a father of three, able to race like that in a car into a crowd of people, women and children?
Where does this despicable evil come from to eliminate children with an innocent smile?
It's hard to look at the pictures of the Beit Plai brothers, 6-year-old Jacob Israel and 8-year-old Asher Menachem.
Glance at them, look down and mourn the sweetness that has been lost.
Seeing the 20-year-old Alter Shlomo Lederman dancing six months ago at his wedding, and not believing that he was murdered like that in front of his new wife.
In front of the clean blood that was spilled in vain, not only the stomach turned, but also the mind.
I couldn't help but compare the terrible attack to what I saw the day before in Turkey.
I had the privilege of covering the rescue operations of the IDF forces in the ruined Gaziantep. I met soldiers and commanders who neither slept nor ate, and in the bitter cold they did everything possible to save children. Muslim children. As of the moment of writing these lines, the Israeli delegations rescued 19 people, including Children. 500 soldiers and dozens more civilian volunteers were sent there in the name of the Jewish people, in the name of humanity and morality, in the name of the heart that participates in the pain of others, in the name of the sanctity of life. They continued to work even on Shabbat, according to the order of the Chief Rabbi, who stated that the sanctity of the Shabbat is rejected because of the sanctity of life.
But here in Israel, the sanctity of our Sabbath was violated by a Muslim murderer, who in the name of his extreme religion was sent to be a "martyr" and murder Jews.
Trample to death Jewish families who were already wearing white clothes and were on their way to celebrate the Sabbath.
This gap is unfathomable.
We save Muslims in the name of our religion, Muslims kill us in the name of their religion.
I don't want to argue, God forbid, that we should stop doing good in the world, and save lives wherever they are.
Those simple people in Turkey whose world was destroyed by the earthquake were not part of terrorism, certainly not all Muslims support terrorism.
It is also important to note that the Israeli delegation was warmly received in Turkey, both by government officials and by the warm and excited reactions of the people on the ground.
But Turkey as a country has in the past, and still does today, to our great regret, sponsor terrorism.
Now, after it became clear that it was the small state of Israel that helped Turkey in its most difficult time more than all the other, much larger countries, Israel has the right to demand reciprocity from Erdogan.
We help save lives on your land, at the very least don't give shelter to those who want to shorten life on our land.
In the last 20 years, Istanbul has become the capital of Hamas leadership and a central junction of a huge international network for laundering terrorist funds, through religious associations.
This is how Saleh al-Aaruri, a senior member of the Hamas organization in charge of the activities of the military arm of Hamas in Judea and Samaria, found refuge in Turkey.
On Turkish soil he publicly acknowledged Hamas' responsibility for the murder of the three boys from Gush Etzion and praised their abduction.
In the Turkish forum IDSB, which brings together all the supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood in the world, members are organizations that have been declared as terrorist organizations in Israel and the USA. Through it, hundreds of millions of dollars are transferred to terrorist activities and to support the families of terrorists. Yes, through associations operating in Turkey, money will also be transferred to the family members of the "martyr" Hatari, the 31-year-old terrorist from Issawiya, who murdered three innocent Israeli citizens, all while Israel is spending millions to save the lives of Turkish children.
In preparation for Israel-Turkey reconciliation last September, the Israeli government demanded that Turkey expel the Hamas leadership from its country.
It did not happen.
In November, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlot Çavuşoğlu boasted of the good relations with Hamas, and the fact that Turkey did not respond to the Israeli demand for its expulsion.
Israel should go back and demand from Turkey a stop to all the terrorist activities that are carried out on its soil.
It would be better if she did it before the earth opened its mouth, but it is not too late to do it now.
