Ukrainian flag in Jerusalem

Jerusalem always reflects the thoughts and the feelings of its inhabitants, you just have to look closely not to miss those reflections.

The yellow and blue Ukrainian flag appears in the most unexpected places: next to Theodor Herzl’s silhouette, in a shop window, on the shoulders of a boy dressed up as the yellow and blue flag for the festival of Purim, on the wall of the bookstore called The Little Prince, where there was a presentation of a special issue of «נקודתיים» magazine on the translation of Ukrainian poetry into Hebrew… But, sometimes, the city loses its patience and you suddenly see, on a random door, the laconic FUCK WAR.
