“About Aviya Kopelman’s piece, one should say, that if it is a prophecy, hopefully it won’t become true. Kopelman like pictured and grieved the tragic reality if the ‘true’ Israel, the Israel “outside”, and hasn’t hesitated to use bold effects, that twenty years ago would occasion mockery, like sirens and sounds of gunfire (in drums). However, from these “cheap” effects she concocted shocking music that immediately reaches the ear and the heart.
