I was surprised when I found out that it is not Israel's official anthem, because it was written by a man who was often drunk....

No, they tried to make it officially the national anthem but the Arabs opposed it and it was voted down by the leftists.

I heard it was the religious who didnt want it, at least in the 40's and 50's, the guy who wrote it was a drunk supposedly so the religious didnt want it as the national anthem
