Feiglin Criticizes Yoseph Haddad Over National Anthem Moshe Feiglin criticized Yoseph Haddad for singing “an Israeli soul” instead of “a Jewish soul” in Israel’s national anthem. Feiglin argued that replacing Jewish national identity with an Israeli identity ultimately leads to recognizing a separate Palestinian national identity. Haddad, an Arab-Israeli who served in the IDF, is a prominent supporter of Israel and has become one of the country’s most recognizable international advocates, frequently defending Israel and combating anti-Israel narratives around the world. Feiglin stressed that he has “great sympathy” for Arabs who served in the IDF and tied their fate to Israel, while maintaining his disagreement with Haddad on the question of national identity.
