“You didn’t do it because you are hospitable, you did it because you want headlines in the Tel Aviv media, because all that matters to you is cultivating a cosmopolitan image, and because you don’t really care about Maccabi Haifa and you don’t really understand its enormous importance to this city “. Tamir Elhiani is crazy about the municipality

In the life of Haifa Municipality, tell me, what will happen to you? It’s not enough that you have turned the city into a playground for wild boars, you have stung us with parking tickets left and right and you persist in the geriatricization trend of the city, now what does the lighting of the French flag have to do with the city hall? Last time I checked, Paris Saint-Germain is Maccabi Haifa’s opponent in tomorrow’s game. With all due respect to its superstars, the last thing that needs to be done is to give them some sort of comfort and warmth heading into the game. By the way, they don’t need any additional advantage beyond the obvious and great professional advantage they already have.
Yes, yes, I know, these are huge players, real legends, they appear on the cover of the child’s FIFA, and you are already excited for a combined Bar Mitzvah trip to Parc des Princes and EuroDisney. All well and good. But before the biggest game – by far – she knew The city, and perhaps this country, has always been in a European framework, there is nothing that the municipality of Haifa should do except to take care by all means at its disposal to promote as much as possible the chances of its flagship, the best thing in this city – the Maccabi Haifa football club – in this meeting.
You didn’t do it because you are hospitable (I don’t remember that the building was lit with the flag of Cyprus/Greece/Serbia last summer, when the champions of these countries visited our districts). You did it because you want clickbait and headlines from the Tel Aviv and possibly European media on the backs of the superstars, you did it because all you care about is cultivating a cosmopolitan image, and you did it because you don’t really care about Maccabi Haifa and you don’t really understand the importance Her petition to this city.
Oh well. Really, one way or another, the expectations from this municipality are very low. But from the green crowd, the holy crowd we’ve brought so far, I expect much, much less generous hospitality. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, for my part, let Queen Elizabeth Mahabeh also come up in a tricolor shirt – tomorrow night, we will all be only Maccabi, only green. If not on the field, then at least in the atmosphere. Let’s make the biggest stars in the world feel the same pleasant and pampering feeling that someone who walks down an alley in Gaza during a military operation has.
Because tomorrow, like every day when we come to Sami Ofer, the whole world will be Maccabi Haifa, and it doesn’t matter what colors they light up the city hall.
