Purim will not be happy this year evidenced by the reduction of sales of Purim costumes in Israel.

On the other hand, I think this Purim song in the light (or shadow) of current (and past events) is relevant:

Will your Purim celebration be different this year?

The tone/content of the new songs this year are a bit different (due to the war with Hamas):

I just discovered this movie (available for free on VUDU) about the Purim story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Night_with_the_King
It is always interesting to watch how "Hollywood" tells Biblical stories.

Today is Shushan Purim celebrated in walled cities such as Jerusalem and this year also by IDF soldiers in Gaza City (which was walled in ancient times).
