Another scorching defeat, this time on the moral field: the question of summoning a noble Omar to the Israeli team

It is amazing how quickly it took the Israeli media to completely erase the disgraceful disgrace of a noble Omar, a money laundering that is expected to lead him to the Israel national team.

In a reality where no one takes responsibility, it is not surprising that our association is also expected to spit in the face of an entire country

The question was not whether he would play for the team, but when would be the right time to announce it.

Last Wednesday a war was declared. If you have not heard of it, do not feel bad. It was decided even before it started - a year earlier. The conservative Jewish-American radio broadcaster, Dennis Perger, once said that "a man does not fight just because he is optimistic, he fights because it is the right thing to do." Well, in this war, apparently one side was very optimistic and the other did not really think it was right to sacrifice.

There are wars that were decided much earlier, one of which every Israeli child knows, but it is hard to remember one that was so predictable. In fact, the question was not whether Omar Atzili would play for the Israeli team, but when would be the right time to announce it. It is possible that someone in the Football Association thought that the transfer of the mandate and the noise created around it, is the perfect timing. How much damage will another liter of sewage already do to a polluted river?

The unwritten law of the sports media in Israel is that the right to despise, ridicule and snort in football belongs exclusively to it.

Whenever an outsider threatens to do so - be it an MK who speaks out against the quality of the league, any foreigner, coach or player, who criticizes her or, God forbid, complains about herself - she unites in front of him with a clenched fist. In the end, this phenomenon is in direct line with what we have learned about the society in the last year: a collection of ex-territories and influential groups, would do anything to preserve the position of their power at the expense of others.

this makes codes and sets of separate laws, is prohibited and may be flexible, suitable for any group. but from time to time, created A story that illuminates for a moment the dilapidated structure, which reminds us how we got this far.In the case of our sports media, this story is the bleaching project of Noble Omar.

Will he teach us about allowed and forbidden? Mitch Goldhaar with Dor Micha (Photo: Danny Maron)

There are so many layers to this sin that expert geologists are required to reach its bottom. It begins with the contempt that has always prevailed in Israel towards foreigners wherever they are - players, coaches and owners. Mitch Goldhaar's decision to get rid of two of his biggest stars, amid the sexual exploitation of girls at an age when they had not yet completed their matriculation, played straight into those hands. Here is the stranger, the euphemist, the politically correct, the detached and rich Canadian with the private jet and the weird values ​​and the calm speech to the point of a fit of crisis - will he teach us about allowed and forbidden?

The lines closed quickly. After all, xenophobia is not only a contempt for a stranger, but for everything that represents it. In Israel, no one takes responsibility or pays prices, this is an iron principle. No matter what you do, the key is to hold on tight and wait. It's going to take a week, two weeks, a month's roof - and we'll all be moving on. A good name for a club, its fans, for an entire sport? Do not confuse the mind, purifiers.

And while xenophobia is a trivial matter even in interpretations and broadcasts, shallowness and superficiality are already a completely different disease. Our sports media has always been a weird, light-hearted and word-addicted chicken, but much larger processes than it have made it an insult to intelligence. These are the fondness for yellow and click that we know from other places, but also something else: an addiction to neighborhoods, loved ones and scribbles. Everything is, of course, wrapped in a thick layer of "popularity" and "authenticity," which hides beneath narrow economic interests.

And so, as much as it's funny to listen to Eyal Lachman Mahantarsh about his favorite team in Nigeria's second division, or to Raz Zehavi remember another masterpiece story about Bnei Musmus - they are also the ones who mediate reality for us when things are much less funny. And just as the transition of Eyal Berkovich and Ofira Asaig from the fringe and bizarre districts to the prime time of Keshet 12 has turned the socio-political agenda into a circus, so it happens when forced to engage in a sex affair with footballers.

In the neighborhood as in the neighborhood, everyone keeps an eye on each other: the singer who exploited minors or the legendary landlord who has been eating his heart out for a decade without a championship, the owner who despises his players and the one who mourns their wages.

All of us, all of us part of the romance.

The creators have long since been overthrown.

About a year has passed since the affair exploded, and at this stage of our creative lives it has long been reversed: Noble Omar (and soon Dor Micha) is the victim, the man who went through a "difficult year", the one who "does not know what he is going through", and in general he "did not know" . And yet a reminder: in the past year, Noble did not spend time in the Gulag in Siberia, but in a Cypriot luxury team from which he returned less than six months later to the top of Israeli football.

At the same time, the girls with whom he slept, underwent constant abuse and bullying in networks, police investigations and mental damage who knows if it will ever be repaired. And our sports media? She celebrated his return long before he left. Reports of the closure of the case before the police announcement, decisive interpretations of the criminal continuum and of course the claim that footballers in their late 20s are the ones who were exploited here. In fact, since the return of Noble Omar, no game has mentioned the context that surrounded him. Maximum "provision". That thing that is not talked about.

It should be said now: Maccabi Haifa and Yaakov Shachar are entitled to employ whoever they want, as well as other teams. The rationale they have provided for themselves on "second chance" and "rehabilitation" is their only concern, and they are the ones who will have to look in the mirror. But the absolute adoption of this narrative in the media, the neutralization of the broad context of the discourse, makes the noble almost martyred. The man who opposes all difficulties, haters and slanderers, becomes the player of the season. This is a distilled and insulting disgust not only towards the victims of the affair and women in general, but for anyone who still finds Israeli sports interesting or dear to his heart.

The moral ground is the ground where the media has always played, its escape from it intentionally and piously is an unforgivable bankruptcy. The fact that a nobleman never apologized or expressed any recognition of the pain of those who were really harmed in the affair, should have been the minimum requirement of everyone who covered it - on or off the field. How many times have we heard such a demand?

An entire orgy with minors, it's not that he refused to sing the anthem.

Eventually, as mentioned, we got used to it.

Corruption, decay, questionable morality, there are things that have already seeped into DNA.

Still, the result of all these is quickly revealed.

12 months after using his status and power to replace confused young women with a teammate, the whitening process is complete: if a nobleman is good for Maccabi Haifa, then why not for the team?

If we decided that punishment is either criminal or nothing - what is the problem that he will stand with his hand on his heart, direct his hope and wear the blue-and-white uniform?

An entire orgy with minors, it's not that he refused to sing the anthem.

The poetic justice is that this very decision will conflict with the Holy of Holies of the sports media: the Israeli national team.

The same media that always demands sympathy and sympathy, that talks about "our team" and "our football", the representation and the importance of every game, marginal as it may be - is the one who made this thing possible with her own hands.

And so, the next time you stand on the grass, wrapped in pathos and chattering about arrays and summonses, about faith and a feeling that it can be done this time - the Israeli team will showcase a spit in the face of the entire country.

Proof that responsibility, personal example and compassion are words that have long meant nothing to us.

From now on, the blue and white and the Star of David are added to the moral stain and shame.

Rest assured that what will bother us much more will be the evil Austrian on the lines.

go go Israel.
