Are you victim blaming? I believe there was a cease fire agreement at the time. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a genuine question. If I were to host such a festival... i would make sure to NOT keep it along the border with a state whose current rulers are HAMAS.

Nah fam, I'm talking practically speaking. If the state of Montana started threatening war with Alberta, do you think I'd plan a music festival in friggin Lethbridge?! Absolutely not, what a wild ass idea.

I mean shit, that concert was 5 km from Gaza, sitting between two Israeli military bases. wtf bro.

Not the same. Threat of war between Israel and Hamas has been a constant state of affairs for decades.
