Bad Move, Givati!
In the J-Post: IDF commander nixes concert by female pop star for fear of offending religious troops.
This is a bad decision by the commander. He could have used the opportunity to build, instead of destroy, unity. Instead of refusing/canceling the show, he should have scheduled the show, and -- unlike the usual army MO which forces religious soldiers to be in attendance when there are female vocalists, against their religious beliefs -- simply exempted those soldiers who felt religiously uncomfortable from going to the show.
This wouldn't have damaged the religious secular unity, which has improved over the course of this water, and also would have set a precedent for religious cooperation about such things within the army structure, which would be a long-term improvement for the religious soldiers he claims he's protecting.
Really poor judgement here.

The Audience Better Buy Lots of Drinks
The Bulletproof Stockings play Arlene's Grocery: All-female Hasidic rock band bans men from show.
The audience better buy lots of drinks, otherwise, there's no point to the venue accommodating them (and other drum women's bands) in the future.

Hamas Song Bombs!
So Hamas released a song about terrorizing Israel... and the Israeli's got to work recording covers and tributes.
Hamas Scare Clip Becomes Israel's Summer Hit
My fave is the Smurf one:
