Can't understand Israel without learning who is Baba Sali ztz"kl,
I'm surely not the one to tell the story of this Tzadik, it's hard to put in words.
But if You want to understand the modern Israeli atmosphere, You have to attempt and grasp who were and are the sages at the heart of this nation.

Baba Sali or Rabbi Yisrael Abahtzeira presence and life in Israel during the hardest times was a great privilege and care bestowed upon the nation dwelling in Zion.

Learn about him, read the stories... though it will be probably hard to grasp, but so is the story of Israel.

Ydidi Ro'i Makimi is a poem composed by Rabbi Israel Najara (1628-1555). The piyyut expresses the longing of the Jewish people in exile to their G-d as a flock that yearns for the guiding and supportive hand of the shepherd and for redemption.

Rabbi Yisrael Najara was the rabbi of Gaza, buried there in an ancient Jewish cemetery, considered one of the greatest Hebrew poets of all time.

Something is missing there from the groove and mysticism.

Somebody made Moataz very unhappy.


“In an address on Elsharq TV, a Turkey-based Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood channel, Egyptian TV host Moataz Matar talked about Israeli PM Netanyahu's visit to Oman to meet with Sultan Qaboos, the participation of the Israeli national gymnastics team in the world championships in Qatar, and the presence of the Israeli judo team in a Grand Slam tournament in Abu Dhabi. Likening the visits to the explosion of a "pipe of sewage" Matar pinned these "catastrophes" on infighting among the Arabs and on their allying themselves with the Zionists, which "portends utter destruction." His statements aired on October 27, 2018.”


"MB TV Host Moataz Matar Slams Qatar, Oman, Abu Dhabi for Normalization of Relations with Israel: "The Gulf Staggers under the Feet of the Zionists Like a Slaughtered Chicken""



Here’s a bit of some Great Satan slang for you, Moataz. With Netanyahu visiting Sultan Qaboos, it means you just took it up the caboose.
