- Опубліковано 19 лис 2023
- Koolulam led an international musical project advocating for the return of the hundreds of
abducted civilians currently being held in Gaza by Hamas. Our loved ones.
More than 100 locations around the world took part in this urgent call.
The song for this project was chosen by Tamar Forti, who lost her brother, Nir at the Nova peace party. As Madonna's fan, she found comfort in this song's lyrics and asked Koolulam leaders to use it to raise awareness for the hostage situation.
The special video was produced in collaboration with The Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv and the families of the abducted and missing forum to raise awareness for the hostage situation worldwide.

I cannot believe I got to be a part of something so bittersweet and beautiful, I cannot believe I got to be a part of such a beautiful nation, and I’m sure Hashem sees us, He sees our unity, our strength, our bravery, our pride, and our pain, and with that BH they will come home 🤍🇮🇱💙
The power of love and hope and us coming together has shaken me. The wicked can never overcome that beauty we have within us 😢

Shut up 😈
Israel will last forever! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 Love from 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Such a beautiful and touching song. I’m Korean-Canadian and I stand with Israel 🇮🇱
I know that South Korea (where I’m originally from) might end up in Israel’s shoes in the future due to bad tensions with North Korea. So I thought, I should stand with Israel because one day Israel might be standing with South Korea in the future if that happens in Korea.
Am Yisrael Chai!
@@danakruger you’re very welcome. I hope it doesn’t happen either. 감사합니다
Thank you Eunice for your support ❤
Powerful. Every day I wake up hoping the nightmare is over and it's not. Are the hostages even alive? The children. The babies. My mind can't fathom while my heart bleeds.

Beautiful. I would have taken part if I knew. As always an eternal flame. United against terror.
Emocionante video que muestra la unión del pueblo judío ante la adversidad. No nos dejemos doblegar ante las manifestaciones anti-judías en todo el mundo. Seamos valientes como nuestros soldados y como nuestros hermanos que viven en Israel! Am Israel Jai!🔯🕎♥
If this isn’t the forces of good against the Hamasisis evil- I don’t know what is. Let my people go!
Soy española y me da mucha tristeza q mi país no esté en este hermoso video, En nombre de muchos españoles q sentimos el dolor q está padeciendo el pueblo de Israel decirles q estamos con ellos, oramos al gran YO SOY para q todos los secuestrados aparezcan y se puedan reunir con sus familias. Amamos a Israel, el Eterno les de fuerza y los bendiga.
Crying here for thid people and I cant believe that some people are going to the streets to celebrate these acts! I am happy that one day there will be a God judging over everything, I can feel that in this power of this voices...

我是中国人 也是一名基督徒 上帝正在见证这一切 每天都在为以色列和加沙的和平在祈祷 不论是谁在遭受苦难 他们都是我们的兄弟姐妹 祈祷上帝赐下怜悯 愿上帝永远与我们同在 I’m a Chinese civilian, also a Christian.

Любовь и сила Израилю! Мы с вами!!❤❤❤
Incredible! So moving and finally we see a rally for the families and people of Israel. ❤
Obrigada por ter feito parte disso!!! Bring them Home!
Very powerful !
One day hate explode in human hearts and with the help of drugs they were able to do horrible things than the human mind never imagine were possible to do from a creature that at the beginning was created at the image of God. And they went and kill rape mutilate burn their brothers 😢. I pray every day for the hostage and their families.
And then I don’t know what hurts more…the so tragic event or the indifference of the world I live in. Yes I know many are with us but many are against too. What is wrong with them? Why we don’t think ahead and desire a world in peace for our children grandchildren and our next generations to come? But only this can happen if everyone starts doing their part.
Please love your neighbor this is why we are here for.
And let’s never forget but only so don’t happen again!
Am Yisrael Chai
Thank you Koolulam🙏🏼
God bless Israel
Love from Norway. ❤❤❤Bring them home now 🙏🙏💖🇮🇱🇮🇱
literally crying. HaShem please bring them home!
Me too dude, me too.
bring our people back to our home. stand with Israel now and forever💙🤍💙
