Precisely at the peak of election madness – something happened that left me speechless

In the midst of a stormy election campaign, a disaster at the Ramat Ridge, where a teenager was killed and 19 were injured, cuts through the political noise and demands a national reckoning on unity and hatred.

At the height of a turbulent election campaign, when public discourse is saturated with political battles, polls, and mutual accusations, the severe disaster at the Ramat Ridge arrived and turned everything upside down. One terrible disaster in the north tore our hearts: children who went out to enjoy a trip, and not all will return home. Eleazar Vilensky, may his memory be blessed, is the teenager killed in the disaster, along with two seriously injured and 17 in mild-to-moderate condition. Dana Varon's column calls for a true reckoning: to lower the flames, clean out the poison, and stop the hatred that gnaws at us from within. The writer asks why we only manage to unite when a terrible disaster strikes us, and calls for us to remain united in everyday life, not only when disaster lands.
