Kobi Peretz was kicked out tonight (Tuesday) from a performance against fighters at a base in the north that was planned ahead of time. According to Peretz, the reason for the cancellation of his appearance at the last minute and his expulsion from the stage is the fact that he sings “May the village burn for them” and distributes Tefillin.
In a video from the event, Peretz can be seen on stage saying: “I traveled here for two and a half hours. I have been performing voluntarily for four months now and pay for it out of my own pocket. Unfortunately, a few minutes ago we received a message that ‘Kobe Peretz cannot perform at the base with the soldiers’. Why? I I pay a lot of money out of my own pocket. It’s because I recently said a sentence that the IDF spokesperson or someone there doesn’t like to hear – I sing to the soldiers ‘May their village in Gaza be burned’.”
The invitation to Peretz’s performance
After these words the crowd of fighters cheers and Peretz continues: “I want to say that I don’t want to hurt any soldier, because the soldiers are blood of my blood and I love them. I took it upon myself to distribute tefillin to the soldiers.” At this point the singer began handing out tefillin to the audience and one of the commanders goes up on stage and instructs: “The whole regiment – to the rooms.” Peretz, it turns out, was supposed to receive a certificate of appreciation from the battalion “as a token of appreciation for an amazing performance”
On behalf of Kobi Peretz, the response was given: “Peretz is among the only artists who continue to volunteer even after more than 150 days of fighting. Today he arrived by prior arrangement at the base in the north of the country in order to make our soldiers happy, after going through Hattim for almost 3 hours and trying to defend himself from the barrage of missiles fired from the north – they refused to let him into the base and piled up difficulties.
“Finally, Peretz entered the base, began the performance, and while he was on stage in front of the crowd of soldiers, the people in charge took down the shield and turned off the electricity on purpose. This is a serious incident that will not go by in silence. Those in charge in the IDF must step into the picture and immediately deal with this embarrassing case, instead of bringing together and connecting all the parts In the people, we do exactly the opposite.”
The certificate of appreciation prepared for Kobe Peretz
On behalf of the IDF spokesman, it was stated: “The singer’s appearance was not approved in accordance with the accepted routes in accordance with the orders and policies of the IDF, therefore the singer was asked to leave. The circumstances and conduct of those involved in the event will be examined and the procedures will be refined.”
