- Feiglin claims singing 'Israeli soul' implies support for a Palestinian state.
- He argues accepting Israeli identity requires accepting Palestinian identity.
- Feiglin expressed sympathy for Arab IDF soldiers.
- He stressed the need for truth over populism after recent events.
Moshe Feiglin, a commentator, stated on social media platform X that Yosef Haddad's singing of the phrase "Israeli soul" instead of the original lyric "Jewish soul" from the Israeli national anthem implies a necessary support for a Palestinian state. Feiglin argued that anyone who accepts the invention of an Israeli national identity as a substitute for a Jewish national identity must also accept the invention of a Palestinian national identity as a substitute for an Arab national identity.
Feiglin expressed significant sympathy for Arabs who served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and formed alliances with Israelis. However, he emphasized that the necessary reevaluation following "the greatest of horrors" cannot be based on sympathy or populism, but must stem from a deep examination of truth.
