The diary of a war singer Israel today

2006 (Second Lebanon)

The first time I fulfilled my artistic duty and traveled with a smile and a guitar to support the front (by the way, a good name for an underwear store), was in 2006, when the Second Lebanon War took place.

It was half a year after my first album came out, I still didn't know my name and even less did I know how to encourage an audience that has no reason to be encouraged.

Someone arranged transportation, and I took a CD with playbacks and got in a taxi to a military base in Stella Maris in Haifa.

Further north than that, the army and my mother didn't let me go either.

Commanding people to consume culture is a bit strange, but we are an army that has a country and not the other way around.

Given that ten percent of my songs were huge hits, and the other ninety percent were sad songs with a guitar, I didn't have much to offer before "Yonathan Shapira" and after "Yonathan Shapira" to the bored soldiers, who were told to settle down under the fence and clap their hands - or they stay on Shabbat.

You haven't seen enthusiasm until you've seen enthusiasm on command.

The education officer thanked me politely, and I got back into the taxi.

2014 (solid cliff)

Those soldiers have already grown up and raised families to run with them at night to the MMD. Meanwhile, I improved bit by bit in making happy, and in the years that passed between the systems, I managed to visit most of the shelters in the settlements surrounding Gaza and the West Negev, so I can say with certainty that most of the cultural coordinators in the area are called Susanna. Everything The memory gets mixed and tangled, and who knows in which kibbutz there was a performance in front of eight people, in which military operation I received a badge of appreciation from a broom and two brushes, where is the electric hook or when I was asked to sing songs by Omar Adam. God knows there have been enough military operations, and all the shelters are more or less visible The same.

2021 (Guardian of the Walls)

I already have small children, and before I jump on the bus to the south, I have to make sure they are safe, healthy and happy.

A few more items have been added to my list of anxieties, but in any case, artists are no longer organized so much by buses to war zones, and perhaps the residents in the south have already grown tired of performing in shelters, and are tired of songs instead of solutions.

2044 (cork)

The Prime Minister said that "the previous government is to blame for everything, now they are finally going to crush them, crack them, flatten Gaza and serve it hot with a drop of lemon and sumac, cut off the head of the snake, the tail of the snake and everything in between and then make a stunning boot out of it" .

And only Susana is still sitting with Ness and a cigarette on the balcony, watching telenovelas on the phone, when the sky is exploding above her.
