Mrs. Evanthia Reboutsika organizes a concert in Herodeion with an Israeli and a Palestinian singer that symbolizes the togetherness of peoples through Art. Especially of peoples at war. The "Palestinian Parish of Greece" organization did not like this and sent a letter to the famous composer, essentially asking her to cancel the concert, writing characteristically: "Based on these data, we hope that you are not complicit in initiatives that involve Israel, which exploits and tramples the artistic firmament to secure its own interest and projects images that "wear blinders" to public opinion.

Xerta Müller is one of the greatest contemporary German-speaking writers, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature (2009). He recently wrote a shocking warning about the West – about the insanity that has gripped parts of Western societies since Hamas attacked Israel.
I was impressed by the news broadcast on the radio, the station I listen to almost all day. Thousands of people take to the streets of Tel Aviv to protest that their government is delaying the deal with Hamas. More important would be the news if thousands of Palestinians in Gaza were protesting because Hamas murdered the six hostages in cold blood, undermining the continuation of negotiations. However, this is not going to happen. Israel is a western-style democratic country, while the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip is tyrannical. And like all tyrannical regimes it does not consider either the desire or the life of its subjects. For months now, he has been using them as a human shield that produces propaganda surplus value in the sensitive souls of Western societies. Those who talk about the genocide of the Palestinians, while they did not shed a single tear for the dead of Sudan, tens of thousands, and ten million uprooted. Their favorite organization Doctors Without Borders called it the worst humanitarian crisis in decades. However, Arab militias are responsible for the massacre there, while in the Gaza war white Western men, and even Jews, are responsible. The cold-blooded murder of the six hostages should remind us that the nightmare began with a terrorist attack on the territory of Israel. And the hostage taking. The news reports did not comment on it. And of course I didn't hear a single voice of support for the victims and their relatives. I didn't expect it, to be honest. I wonder how far our hypocrisy can go. Hamas, with European money, has organized a secret arsenal aimed at the annihilation of Israel. Israel is heavily armed, but the war is informal. The definition of informal: the negotiations are based on the exchange of innocent hostages, victims of barbaric kidnapping, for Palestinians convicted of terrorism.
The victims were six young people. The four had been kidnapped from the Nova festival. The foray into this space where young girls and boys from all over the world were having fun with an alternative outlook on life was no accident. Hamas terrorists did not find them on their way and murdered about 250 people who participated in the festival. They went there on purpose, with a plan, because these children symbolized what the Islamic killers abhorred. The joy of life, while they seek to be witnesses and go next to the Prophet. That's why they hunted them one by one in the desert landscape where it was impossible for the children to hide.
A little trek in the holy city that no one can command. Where at night the breeze rustles the olive trees. Otherwise it cools you down. Otherwise it creeps you out.
"Why should you go to Israel at such a time?", my dearest people discouraged me, in order to protect me. "There's chaos down there! Come on, the planet is freaking out! They are protesting against them everywhere! Will you visit them too?"
"I will not shake the hand of those who give war orders," I replied. "I will participate in the international conference of writers. Where David Grossman will also speak - dare anyone call David Grossman a hawk!"
“Do most people stand in such shades? They are looking for an opportunity to make fun of, to "cancel" anyone who does not go along with the common feeling...". “Alas if my ear sweated for what those who cannot bear to think will think. Those who are comfortable with easy identifications. Democratic citizens like us live in Israel. Now they need us more than ever..."
