Singer Aviv Geffen has decided to hold his big concert tonight at Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv. With the authorization of the Passive Defence, the spectacle therefore took place while the south of the country is under bombs and the center was also targeted this evening by rockets launched from Gaza.
Aviv Geffen dedicated a song to the people of the south: “I will perform just for you my friends from the south. I am here today with you, I am doing this concert because it is a message more important than a simple song, that of the choice of life. No one will silence Israel.”
Several people who had bought tickets were unable or unwilling to come. The production assured that it would deal with the complaints of the inhabitants of the south who could not move. But some Tel Aviv fans also preferred to stay home. One of them confided that she did not want to leave her children, knowing that yesterday at the same time, the sirens had sounded in Tel Aviv. Another said she would never come to Aviv Geffen concerts again. She was very disappointed with her decision to go ahead with the performance: “I can’t go to a concert when the southerners are in the shelters. We don’t live in two different countries.
Before the start of the concert, on giant screens, spectators were able to read the Passive Defense instructions in the event of missile attacks. For the authorities, there was no reason to prevent this gathering, as no restrictions applied to the Tel Aviv area. “You can’t paralyze the whole country,” one of the Passive Defense representatives told Ynet.
