Politician Suffers Heart Attack Right After Saying Israel ‘Will Not Escape the Wrath of Allah’: Reports
A member of the Turkish parliament collapsed from an apparent heart attack on Tuesday as he went on a tirade against the people of Israel, according to multiple reports.
The Times of Israel reported Hasan Bitmez was speaking before the Muslim country’s legislative body during a session on an unrelated matter when he decided to take his remarks off course.
As Bitmez discussed Israel’s ongoing war against Islamic terrorists in Gaza, he took aim at Jews in the region, saying, “You will not escape the wrath of Allah.”
The 53-year-old lawmaker then said, “I salute you all” — and immediately collapsed near the podium, hitting his head on the floor.

The incident sparked a debate online, with some attributing the heart attack to a divine intervention in response to Bitmez’s comments, while others expressed concern and wished for his immediate recovery. This incident serves as a reminder of the power of words and the potential consequences they can have.
Hasan Bitmez’s collapse is a concerning event regardless of one’s perspective on the Israel-Gaza conflict or the remarks he made. A heart attack is a serious medical condition, and it is important to approach this situation with empathy and compassion.
However, the incident also brings to light the responsibility that comes with being a public figure, particularly a politician. Words have consequences, and when one holds a position of influence, it becomes even more crucial to choose them wisely. Bitmez’s comments, calling for the wrath of Allah on Israel, sparked controversy and debate among social media users. Some praised his stance, while others condemned it, and the subsequent heart attack only added fuel to the fire.
While it is impossible to determine a direct cause-and-effect relationship between Bitmez’s comments and his heart attack, the incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks of inflammatory rhetoric. In times of conflict and tension, it is crucial for political leaders to exercise restraint and promote dialogue rather than perpetuating animosity.
This incident also highlights the importance of maintaining decorum and respect in political discourse. It is undoubtedly possible to address contentious issues and express differing viewpoints without resorting to inflammatory language or personal attacks. Constructive dialogue can lead to greater understanding and potentially finding common ground, even in the face of deep ideological differences.
Furthermore, this incident underscores the need for empathy and compassion in our interactions, especially when discussing sensitive topics like religion and conflict. It is essential to foster an environment where individuals feel safe expressing their opinions without fear of repercussions or harm. Respectful and open-minded discussions can help bridge the divide and promote peaceful resolution.
In conclusion, the collapse of Hasan Bitmez while delivering controversial remarks about Israel serves as a reminder of the impact of words and the responsibility that comes with being a public figure. It is essential for political leaders to exercise restraint and promote constructive dialogue, even in moments of conflict. Inflammatory rhetoric can contribute to further tensions and potentially have unintended consequences. It is crucial to foster an environment of empathy, understanding, and respect, where diverse viewpoints can be expressed without fear of harm.
