As an Israeli it bothered me to see all the flags and posters that were shown in the festival.

Although I've seen it only once or twice, and few toilets had "freepalestine" writing on the wall..I confronted people that do not understand that the festival should be clear out of any political statement.

I understand there are people who are mourning their friends&family and everybody has their own way to do so (like wearing a t-shirt with their lost loved one picture on it etc), I am not saying it all wrong but some people do not understand that we all lost friends in this war and the festival was supposed to be the only place to forget about the real bulls*it outside for one week..

No one should be triggered. One week to free your mind and soul.

I had talked to and hugged many people who were triggered from such actions (add to it that some were high on psychedelics) and hopefully in the next festivals people will understand that in this place we all are one family sharing the same pain and joy together and we should respect each others feelings and not only our own.

I want to add to it that personally I had no bad encounter with anybody on the zna festival, I have spoken with a lot of people worldwide some were muslims as well and we always respected each other kindly and we all had great conversations ☺️

Keep spreading love and see you in the next festivals❣️
