Many Lebanese knew Adraee already 10 years ago. He was trying to communicate respectfully with Lebanese but was answered with insults. Today, everyone "deifies" him. 

Back then, Avichay Adraee was hiding behind dark framed eyeglasses, making him look strict and serious, although he had humor and was kind.

Living in Lebanon, I was too afraid to follow him or to reply. I used to read all the horrible replies by Lebanese/Hezbollah to Adraee's kind approach.
