1. does the writer know anything about "Israeli Rock"
Steven ,   Fayetteville   (02.17.18)
To refer to Arik Einstein as "another well-known Israeli rocker" is sort of like calling Bob Dylan, "a popular American folk singer"....Get a clue!
2. Karma, Geffen, Karma
David ,   hadera   (02.17.18)
about time these pseudo- politicians kept to what they know best and realized no-one wants to hear his political opinion. Kol hakavod Miri Regev
3. Pay back time
Philip ,   Northern Israel   (02.17.18)
After all this little shit refused to do his national service.
4. Gefen is an anti-Israel douchebag
Sholem ,   Dolev   (02.17.18)
It would be kind of ironic having a douchebag like him performing at a ceremony celebrating Israeli independence when all the whiny little twerp can do is slam Israel.
Perhaps he she be called upon to talk about his patriotism and national service

7. Independence Day is becoming Political
Shimon Z. Klein ,   Bat Hefer   (02.17.18)
It is a great pity that Yom Ha'atzmaut is becoming political Miri Regev style. Artists who do not identify with her political (Likud) agenda are ostracised by her and considered traitorous towards Israel. Suddenly there is no room for them in Israel's 70th Yom Ha'atzmaut celebrations. Is this festival becoming the property of the Likud and Netanyahu's shenanigans? If that appears to be the case then we should boycott their celebrations. Yom Ha'atzmaut should belong to all Israel's citizens and NOT one political sector only.

11. In order to success in Israel music you have to be anti.....
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (02.19.18)
Anti-everything, kind of maso-anarchist and most of it anti-talent, just provoke and make a lot of noise, some have ambiguous shell protection from established family, somebody else will call corrupted spiritual culture.
