LoveLight says that it has never allowed a religious program during its 14 years of holding the art festival, and noted that the UJC also wanted to include "a firetruck geld drop, where chocolate coins are dropped from a height, in an area of the festival that 'has to be kept open at all times for entering & exiting traffic.'" The UJC, on the other hand, "accused LoveLight of 'not want[ing] to appear to choose sides in the Israel-Hamas conflict,'" and called them anti-Semites.
