I'm not here to say this was divine judgement. I just report on news that's crazier than satire.

From Newsweek:

A Turkish member of parliament collapsed on Tuesday with an apparent heart attack amid discussing godly punishments for the Israeli people.

Felicity (Saadet) Party Member Hasan Bitmez fell beside a podium while addressing the Grand Assembly of the Turkish National Assembly during a reported budgetary discussion.

"You will not escape the wrath of Allah," Bitmez, 54, said moments before he fainted and seemingly hit his head on the floor, immediately drawing a swarm of onlookers to intervene and provide medical attention. He reportedly has diabetes.

Multiple reports indicated that the collapse was caused by a cardiac arrest of some kind.

Turkey Health Minister Fahrettin Koca wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that Bitmez became "disturbed" during his speech and that he is following his condition closely. He told reporters that Bitmez is currently under treatment in the intensive care unit at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital.

Saadet Chairperson Temel Karamollaoğlu asked for prayers for his recovery.

Maybe think about who you are praying to first?

Just sayin'!
