When it comes to Israel, Muslims all over the world mostly have a fix diabolical views and as a Muslim, I don’t blame them at all. Israelis have the worst PR management team among all the countries in the Middle East. Moreover, the worst part is that Israelis are so lazy that they never even try to correct this dark perception of being a bad Shariff of the Middle East. My brother and sister, Israelis are not just Benjamin Netanyahu that you and I hate so much. There are some Israelis many people around the world don't know of but definitely should. In this blog, I will mention five of them.
Mega presenters of Israel |
1. Assi Azar & Rotem Seal
Yes people there are two of them but there are two who work
as one, you can call them (SOULMATES) they're considered to be the mega presenters
of Israel together they host the program the Israeli Ninja and rising
star to Eurovision which brought to the world Neta Barzillai
Music. There is some crazy chemistry and close friendship
between them which began almost accidentally when Rotem Seam replaced
Bara Falli in a television drama that Assi wrote ever since
they've been inseparable Assi is one of the most prominent representatives
of the pride movement in Israel and he's active in an organization that helps gay youth (I know what you guys are thinking
Mustafa this is Haram stuff). Never mind! Rotem hosted the Eurovision
song contest alongside bar Rafaeli while Assi raised to stardom
plastered across almost every billboard in Israel and working as
a busy actress all the while raising three children.

There
are more experienced veteran singers out there in the world like Taylor Swift
and Adele but Noa Kirel is a sensation. She’s not even twenty yet, but
she is one of the most influential cultural figures in Israel. Noa Kirel first
came on to the scene at just 14 with catchy pop songs, a distinctive look, and
provocative videos that broke the internet.

David Grossman
David
Grossman, perhaps the most famous and influential author in Israel today. His
work has influenced all sectors of Israeli culture, and some even say, life in
the country itself. Grossman writes books for children, teens, and adults, which,
combined, have been translated into thirty different languages worldwide. He
won the Man Booker award, a prestigious prize in the literary world, and
has been writing for thirty-five years. His writing touched on the most
intricate parts of the Israeli narratives and his work has been adapted into
plays, movies, and TV shows. His voice echoes across Israel’s culture as a
whole. My Muslim brothers and sister are why not and spend this weekend reading
David Grossman's book ‘Someone to Run With. You won’t be disappointed.

Ruthi Brudo
In recent decades Israel has become a global culinary powerhouse. The diversity of
the people and culture here and the interaction between the East and the West, have
transformed Israeli into one of the most delicious spots in the world. Still no
Visa for you people in Pakistan oops! Ruti
Brudo, is one of the people responsible for this. She opened up some of the
leading restaurants in Tel Aviv. They’ve become culinary establishments loved
by foodies across Israel and all over the world. A girl who grew up in a religious home transformed
into a pioneering culinary figure in Israel, and into one of the toughest
judges on a reality food show for Amateur Chefs. These are the few famous
Israelis you don’t hear of. Thank me later.
