Bahrain Mirror: Israeli media outlets circulated news about a delegation from Habad (Chabad-Lubavitch) Rabbis, an Orthodox Jewish Hasidic movement, visiting Bahrain last week, to celebrate a menorah-lighting ceremony.

The Israeli media celebrated the good development in Israeli-Bahraini relations, as Bahraini traders danced along with the Zionist delegation over Hasidic songs, i.e. Israeli religious songs.

Video clips went viral showing the Israeli musical band dancing in Bab Al Bahrain in the capital Manama, to the beats of a song promising "to build the temple over the ruins of al-Aqsa Mosque".

This triggered anger on the streets of Bahrain, its political and popular institutions, who expressed their rejection to this visit they dubbed "shameful".
