On the way to politics?

On Eran Zehavi's angry post following the wave of terror

The star of the team has become the most influential athlete in Israeli sports and uses it to express his opinion on the situation in the country ("Since when has the hoisting of the flag within Israel become fermented?").

Moshe Boker wonders if it was only now that Zahavi realized that flags should not be hoisted on the Temple Mount, calls on him to maintain consistency and reminds him of the captain's film

We ticked off: Today's summary clip, 10.5 (Sports 1)

Could it be that their golden hair is planning to enter politics in the future?

Could it be that he recently launched a covert campaign, one that appeals to right-wing voters?

Against the background of the wave of severe attacks and threats in recent weeks, a number of footballers have criticized Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

After Zehavi watched videos from his home in the Netherlands showing police confiscating Israeli flags from Jews who wanted to wave them on the Temple Mount, Zehavi responded in a poignant and angry post on Instagram and, as usual, used harsh words.

"Since when did they start boycotting Israeli flags that someone wants to proudly wave in our country? It seems to me that we have gone completely crazy. Enough with the fear and desire for industrial silence, you achieve the exact opposite goal! The problem and you have to throw him out of the country, did you not think of it that way? Honestly, I am ashamed to see this video. "

No doubt these pictures were difficult to view, Zahavi is allowed to express his opinion and share his feelings with his followers, but it is fitting that the former captain of the Israeli national team, one of the best ambassadors we have in Europe, be consistent.

If not on the court, at least with your finger on the keyboard.

Zehavi is without a doubt one of Israel's greatest footballers of all time, he has become the most influential athlete in Israeli sports, and every statement he makes immediately captures a headline, a fact, Zehavi holds the largest number of followers among our athletes.

Zahavi is allowed to share his followers' feelings on and off the pitch, he is allowed to criticize his teammates, he is also allowed to express his opinion on the situation in the country.

But Zahavi (and not only) is expected to formulate with respect, and most importantly to maintain consistency.

As Zehavi wrote: "Since when did they start boycotting Israeli flags that someone wants to proudly wave in our country? It seems to me that we have gone completely crazy. Enough with the fear and desire for industrial peace."

Wait, where exactly was Zahavi in ​​June 2020 when the country shook following Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to reduce the right - wing flag parade in Jerusalem?

The Israeli media constantly dealt with the restrictions imposed by the government on the ascent of Jews to the Temple Mount, on changing the route of the march and the decision to prevent Jews from marching with Israeli flags at the Nablus Gate.

Amir Ohana, who was the Minister of Internal Security, explained: "For operational reasons, and with the intention of protecting the safety of the immigrants to the mountain, specific decisions are made on these issues."

Could it be that at that time in China they did not receive the television channels from Israel and therefore Zehavi did not express his feelings and wrote an angry post?

"If someone gets upset about it, maybe he's the problem and should be kicked out of the country, did you not think of it that way?", Zehavi wrote over the weekend.

Wait, Mr. Zahavi, who exactly should be expelled from the country?

The Prime Minister Bennett?

The Commissioner Saturn? The Chief of Staff Kochavi?

Or maybe all those policemen, border guards, YMCA and GSS forces who have been working around the clock in recent weeks to maintain state security?

Really Eran Only this weekend did you see and understand that it is forbidden to wave Israeli flags on the Temple Mount?

And where exactly were you in 2014 when the right almost overthrew the Netanyahu government because it prevented the Jews from having freedom of action on the Temple Mount?

Did you not hear the special debate that took place in the Knesset (you were in Israel, you played for Maccabi), the anger of MK Moshe Feiglin who said to Netanyahu from the Knesset podium: "Can any terrorist organization raise its flag there - the Israeli flag?

Hess to mention. "And Miri Regev, who said at the same hearing:" I call on the prime minister to stand up to the world with courage.

The Temple Mount is ours, but unfortunately it is not in our hands. "In May 2021, Netanyahu ordered (again) for security reasons to prevent Jews from ascending the Temple Mount.

Eran Zehavi has been out of the country for several years, he is making a tremendous career and sweeping millions into his bank account (which he will have for health), and he is preaching to everyone (actually not everyone).

In a second post written by Zehavi, he gave instructions to our security forces from his home in the Netherlands: "Instead of standing around them like a defensive wall and anyone who tries to approach and hit them will receive a harsh response, preferring to attack them and lower the flag."

This moment is not the same Zahavi who was injured by a handful of fans who cursed him in the national team game against Macedonia with Sami Ofer and angrily threw the captain's ribbon on the grass?

It was then "one big scandal."

God forbid I do not want to annoy you, but then, at that moment you momentarily lost the winner gold and became the loser gold.

Since returning to the team (and it's good that way) you have won the Dutch Cup and become a superstar.

That does not mean you can throw us people out of the country.

At least for now.
