The October Council, an organization that calls for a state commission of inquiry into October 7 and includes around 1,500 relatives of its victims, condemned the ultra-Orthodox party Shas' chairman, Arye Deri. Dery told Channel 14 News on Sunday night that the October 7 massacres saved the Jewish people.
"We express deep shock at Deri's statements that attempt to cultivate a false and degrading narrative, as if the heavy price paid in the massacre was 'worth it,'" the organization said. "There is no military or political achievement that removes responsibility for the neglect, the failure, and the most terrible massacre that Israel has ever known. The attempt to forget, whitewash, or rewrite history and create an alternative narrative is a spit in the face of the bereaved families, the kidnapped and the survivors."
