Recently, Shmuel Eliyahu, a member of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate Council, stirred controversy by describing the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria as “divine justice.” He expressed his views in an article for the Olam Katan, a conservative, religious, and right-wing weekly newsletter. In his Friday column, Eliyahu claimed that God punished the countries affected by the earthquake for allegedly mistreating the Jewish people, even comparing the quake to the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea in the biblical story of the Exodus. “There is no doubt that those who would have seen the Egyptians drowning in the sea and who did not remember the whole event from beginning to end would have been filled with great pity for them and would have tried to save them from drowning,” Eliyahu said in his op-ed. “But the Israelites sang songs because they knew the Egyptians and understood that these drowners wanted to kill some of them and to continue to enslave the rest. They sang songs because they understood that there was divine justice here intended to punish the Egyptians, who had drowned the children of the people of Israel in the Nile so that all the wicked in the world would see and be afraid,” he added. Israeli religious leaders reacted in horror and outrage at his offensive comments regarding the tragedy.
