While our country was trying to heal the wounds of the earthquakes, it turned out that the Zionist Israel team, which exhibited dubious behavior under the name of search and rescue efforts in the earthquake zone, committed the theft of historical artifacts.
It was openly admitted by the Israeli major that the Antakya Megila, the 17th part of the Torah, which was unearthed from the earthquake rubble in Antakya, which hosts a dense Jewish population due to its historical and cultural richness, was smuggled into Israel.
The scandalous event, which made a big impression after it was published in the Israeli press, also revealed the security weakness in the earthquake area.
It is commented that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism should be more sensitive about the protection of the great cultural treasure in our city of Antakya and that the state institutions should take action against this theft of Israel.
HE TOOK THE BOOK TO ISRAEL WHILE IT SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO TURKISH AUTHORITIES
ZAKA Search and Rescue Force Commander Major Haim Otmazgin explained that while he was doing a search and rescue operation in Antakya, an old Turkish Jew approached and handed them the unique book he was holding.
He claimed that old said to him, "I do not want. Please protect them and make sure our community is remembered".
The fact that the Zionist Major Otmazgin did not deliver the historical book he bought from the earthquake survivor Turkish Jew to the Turkish authorities and smuggled it to Israel was interpreted as a clear theft of historical artifacts.
IT IS NOT THE HERITAGE OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
Major OtmazgIn, who is in charge of the Zionist Israeli occupation troops, used the following statements in a statement to the Israeli press:
"As a ZAKA volunteer for several decades, this is one of the most moving moments of my life. I am truly honored to have saved such an important historical document and to ensure that the legacy of the Jewish community in Antioch remains intact even after the earthquake brought it almost to zero. In the next few days, we will meet with a Chabad ambassador in Istanbul to find out who we should entrust the scrolls to."
