I happen to agree with amother. But I wont say it as amother.

My husband and I had the same reaction when we saw it. It takes someones pain, and puts your name out there. I am unimpressed. As I was when every other tradgedy that happens has a song. Its self centered on the artist, who has only one job, to promote himself using the pain of others.

#bring back our boys, is just as awful as #bring back our girls. Its less then useless, just "quasi famous people putting themself in middle of a tragedy.

My heart breaks for these boys and their parents and I plan to privately direct my prayers to hashem, without promoting myself in the process.

I saw this posted and made me cry too:

Hey, you !! Yes, you!!
It is totally irresponsible of you to be standing there waiting for a "tremp" ride!!
Stop endangering yourselves and others with this hitchhiking habit!!
What should you do instead? Take the bus. Buses are comfortable , and safe.
Oh, right. Eden Attias was murdered on a bus for being Jewish. But he was asleep. Stay awake on a bus, and you will be fine.
It is probably true that the passengers on the 405 bus that was thrown over the cliff on the Tel-Aviv Jerusalem highway by a (now-released) terrorist were PROBABLY awake when it happened.
So, forget the bus idea.
Taxi. Take a taxi. Expensive but totally safe.
A taxi driver, Gregory Rabinovich, was murdered by terrorists who hijacked his car? I GUESS that could happen even with a passenger inside.... So, skip the taxi idea.
Take a private car. Private cars are even more expensive, but are far safer.
Well, all right, there was the tractor, sorry, two tractors, that were used by terrorists to run over cars . And, I know, Efrat and Yaron Ungar were shot in their own car, on the road from Ashdod to Beit Shemesh. So, maybe that isn't the solution.
JUST WALK!! That is for sure the safest way to go. And it is healthy, too.
Except, of course, when rockets are flying, of which one has no warning until they are about to fall. Ella Abukasis was killed by a rocket while walking, covering her brother and saving his life.
Okay, you know what - just stay home.
The Fogels were murdered in their own home? Well, they were asleep....

Maybe the problem isn't the hitchhiking? Maybe the problem is that there are thousands of people living in the Jewish Homeland, who are educated to hate and attempt to murder Jews. And their educators (teachers, religious leaders, camp counselors, textbooks, and tv programs) are allowed to teach them this, even to train them with weapons, with no repercussions.
It's time for the knesset to close down anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli media, schools and programs of all forms, and to kick the ringleaders OUT.

I am usually a cynic as well when it comes to things like this and I hate exploitation for personal gain. But I was so moved by the Benayoun song. It struck me as being so genuine and, I don't know, humble even.
