Unfortunately the recent Israeli bullshit got the old weaponised autism going again. I'm in complete agreement with people that this is likely a false flag setup to bait Hamas into a war with Israel and kick off a new conflict the military industrial complex can profit from massively and stir up old political rivalries.
However I think there's another layer to this as well of how tourism boards and the like are frequently advertising dangerous places to young people and specifically young people through social media and so on. Yeah, I know, music festivals are primarily going to be aimed at young people anyway. However why is it becoming so common now they plonk these events in the middle east when they could do it anywhere else?
I think they want young people to show up there, especially ones with large followers so they attract bigger numbers and they do it because they know it will make them targets for terrorists. They can then get the PR train rolling acting like they're dishing out justice for these victims when really they just want to profiteer of their deaths.
The ones who treat the world as their personal playground are a lost cause but any zoomer especially really needs to have it hammered into them that that middle east is not a place you fuck around and treat as a tourist destination. At the very least they should talk to some PMCs or soldiers so they have a proper understanding of the kinds of threats they could face there if they insist on going.
I mean fucking hell, I know people can be dumb, but going to Israel to party at a festival right where terrorists can literally paradrop on you is next level stupid.
Festivals are all over the world. Small and large ones. Israel is a relatively progressive country, especially for Middle East. It's a festival for Israelis and most of the attendees were Israeli. I mean the German girl had dual citizenship and traveled to Israel frequently. So of course she will attend a festival that plays her style of music there.
I honestly doubt that many Europeans are going to the ME for festivals. Travel alone is way more expensive and you can get the same experiences here.
The festival was also small and not large.
