Musician Hanan Ben Ari concludes his concert tour in the United States. He reveals that the night before his performance in New York, they came and poured blood-like red paint on the entrance doors of the concert hall.
"Hard images that remind us of bad times. But the truth is that we didn't need reminders. As soon as you get on the plane, everything suddenly returns to proportions," he writes. "It's us versus the whole world. We are together in this story. The nation of Israel is alive. Nothing will help," he adds. "This is the first time I'm leaving the country since everything started. I had the feeling that I needed a moment to disconnect, take a breather and come back fresh," he says. "There is no cynicism when singing the songs of hope, there is no hint of ridiculousness in waving the flag. Everything is very simple, clear and bright: we are Israelis, we are Jews," says Ben Ari.
