The singer and creator Kobi Oz did not sign the artists’ letter against the Minister of Communications’ intention to close the public broadcasting corporation ‘Kan’. In a short tweet on Twitter, Oz explained his position.
Oz, who presents a show on Kan Reshet B, explained: “I didn’t sign because I didn’t like the wording that attributes malice to the elected government – a “regime coup” – and I don’t think the connection between the struggles is correct.”
Oz went on to explain his position also regarding the reform of the judicial system: “The reform must be given in a broad and national forum but certainly not abolished. And the corporation can be diversified even beyond what it is already diverse and certainly not closed – it is necessary and excellent.”
As mentioned, about two hundred Israeli artists and singers signed a petition against the government, but among them there are almost no eastern artists.
Ynet’s culture reporter, Ran Booker, published last night that the artists were put into a huge WhatsApp group containing about 500 members called “Musicians for Democracy”to organize the petition they signed.
When the singer Miri concluded, she asked the group: “Excuse me for asking. Is there one Mizrahi artist here? Margol? Omer Adam? Sharit Haddad, Zehava Ben Eden Hasson. Has the petition reached them?”.
According to Booker’s publication, the answers she received were “We don’t have their phones״.
