my dear friends it is a it is my my feeling that I I would like to speak about something that is very much in my heart I always think about it and I always talk about it in all my speeches everywhere why is it that the Nations hate us so in order to to talk about this we have to go again to parashat balak now we know that that balak he was the king of Moab and he is also one of the hater of Israel he does hate them but his hatred is not very dangerous why because the Torah says openly why because the Torah says openly that the reason why balague hated the Jewish people it's because he got scared from them he heard about them he heard about their Redemption from Egypt and he heard about their number their extraordinary number which numbered into the Millions according to many of the before she so there is a lodging hit in his hatred he was watching them he heard what that they have destroyed sihon and OG two kings who were practically Invincible because of their size and their power and yet they were subdued by the by the Jewish people when they came out and balak was watching the advance of the Jewish people towards the advance of the Jewish people towards his country so he got scared but yeah sometimes is not only that he saw but he also got scared but it says even more and Moab was frightened from the people of Israel and watch how the verses of the Torah are describing his fear
