Shabbat shalom to you, two years of war have many costs, we talk about them every day, experience them all the time, but the two years of this war carry a unique, unprecedented cost.

For the first time in our history, the State of Israel is experiencing global alienation; we are essentially the new Russians and South Africans, everyone hates us, and it is already reaching the most personal level.

In the friendliest countries, incidents of attacks have become a daily occurrence.

Israelis abroad are afraid to be Israelis, looking over their shoulder at the beach, on the street, and at the hotel.

Yarkon Park, for example, hasn’t seen a foreign artist in two years, and it is doubtful it will see one anytime soon.

For this war has many costs, but the damage of alienation and loathing will take us many years to repair.

Israel, a garment to you, a garment, from a future, from hope, and to return.

Adam
