A Turkish legislator who threatened Israel with the “wrath of Allah” and then, seconds later, suffered a heart attack and collapsed, has died.
The U.K. Daily Mail reports Hasan Bitmez, 54, died two days after collapsing to the floor of Turkey’s parliament building after saying Israel would “suffer” for invading Gaza.
Israel’s defensive military actions in Gaza in recent weeks were prompted by the decision by Hamas terrorists to invade Israel from Gaza and butcher some 1,400 civilians on October 7.
Bitmez, of the Saadet Party, died in Ankara City Hospital, according to remarks from Health Minister Fahrettin Koca.
WND reported when Bitmez was threatening Israel, and ended his remarks, then stood at the parliamentary podium for a few seconds before falling to the floor.
He had said, “We can perhaps hide from our conscience but not from history.” Then he warned, “Israel will suffer the wrath of Allah,” and within a few seconds, collapsed to the floor.
Reports from Turkey explained he underwent CPR and was rushed to a hospital, where he was reported to be in critical condition initially.
Reports revealed, “In that moment, he stumbled and dropped to his knees before lying flat on his back. The Saadet Party Kocaeli deputy had to be stretchered out of the hall after receiving chest compressions ‘for a long time.'”
The incident happened in the nation’s General Assembly Hall in Ankara.
Bitmez was a graduate of Cairo’s Al Azhar University and chairman of the Centre for Islamic Union Research.
Shortly before the collapse, Bitmez had criticized Turkey President Tayyip Erdogan for engaging in trade with Israel.
“You allow ships to go to Israel and you shamelessly call it trade… You are Israel’s accomplice,” he charged. “You have the blood of Palestinians on your hands, you are collaborators. You contribute to every bomb Israel drops on Gaza.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, “CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world’s freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction.”
