![“We [Israel people] always blame Moses, that he was our greatest leader and one of the most gifted people in the world. He brought us the moral code and so on, belief in one God, but then he was a bad navigator. He brought us to the only part of the Middle East without any gas, without any oil.” quote by Benjamin Netanyahu](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/99f/benjamin-netanyahu-2269_belief_we-israel-people-always-blame-moses-that_592836.jpg)
