24 Oct 2024, 7pm Fresh Sounds IL Talking about the last year on a global scale starting off with Malena Ye (Xinyu Ye) Social Media influencer who has spent the last year advocating for Israel and working hard to raise awareness of the 101 hostages still held in captivity in Gaza. Following Malena, I interviewed Liahav Eitan, a social activist living in London that had dealt over the past year with Anti Zionism and Antisemitism from those closest to him, with his head held high. From there we went on to interviewing Israeli musicians about the experiences as musicians over the last year – Shaya Avitan living in Melbourne, Gil Elhanati, living in Israel and Roni Dot living in The Netherlands.
