The festival kicked nothing off, it has never calmed down if anything, and even the festival was quite deep into the recent restart of the aggression on both sides, wasn't it?Nothing like using a yiddish word to hurl insults at someone who had to hide among dead bodies during the Hammas attack of the pop festival that kicked it all off ....
