Thank you for sharing what makes your heart sing because it makes mine do the same. I’m a non practicing Catholic in California with tears running down my eyes in the parking lot of my children’s daycare reading this post. All I can think of is I hope to have my children to have this kind of courage when they are 20.
Russ, I’m beginning to believe our systems of government are elevating ruling classes that are increasingly out of touch with their citizens. Golan’s success is one of an increasing number of events exhibiting this. The great majority of the populace in the west are good, decent, rational people. There is much to be hopeful about. The issue I struggle with is how to address the disconnect between our “leaders” and their citizens.
The disconnect might arise because the " good, decent, rational" majority tends to make a lot less noise than the wicked minority along with their gullible acolytes. It would be heartening, at least, if the anti-semitic stench that seems to waft over Europe were more properly attributable to its government and media elites than to its rank and file public.

You took me down a rabbit hole of Israeli Eurovision contests from 1973 onward 😍
I'm neither Israeli or Jewish, I can't stand Eurovision, I WILL be voting for this woman.
It’s funny what can signal hope sometimes.
