What happened when Katy Perry tweeted “Pray for Israel”
Michelle Malkin ^ | 8/23/11 | Michelle Malkin

Katy Perry is a pop singer/songwriter who churns out annoying Billboard hits (“Firework,” “Teenage Dream,” “Hot N Cold”) that your tween-age kids love and you love to hate (yes, I speak from experience). She made news this week after tying Michael Jackson’s record of scoring 5 #1 Billboard hits off a single album.

She also made some little-noticed waves on Twitter that should be newsworthy.

In a response to a fan of hers on Monday, she tweeted:

Over the past 24 hours, all hell has broken loose — with Palestinian, Muslim, and progressive Twitter followers lashing out at Perry for her innocuous tweet asking others to pray for Israel. Here’s a small sample:

Many of her fans in Israel praised her for taking a stand. But alas, their praise was premature.

Late on Monday night, you see, Perry backed off. Pray for Israel? Neeevvver mind:

Not that she’ll be able to appease the unappeasable.

More from the peaceniks:


Baby, you’re a Dhimmi Work…

Why I don’t get involved with this kind of social media.

But I thought entertainers knew all the answers...

I bet her hubby wasn’t too thrilled with her saying that.

Sorta reminds me of when Arlen Specter changed parties. No matter what you do, libs will find a reason to hate you if you don’t toe the line of their ideological purity.

Not that Specter didn’t deserve the thrashing and betrayal he got.

they probably didn’t like when Rick Perry named Israel as our ally and friend in his announcement speech, either....

I don’t recall anyone claiming that twitterers were particularly intelligent.

We all know what happened to Perry. The word got out about her praying for Israel and the activists thugs decided to make an example out of her. These stupid little idiots can screw. I don't really see how this will affect the run for the WH though. Perry should be able to get over this.

I don’t think of her as a wise sage when it comes to the middle east. Nope. She makes me think of a line I heard a few times on Bourbon Street. What was that line? How did that go?

Oh yea, “Hey Katy, show us your t*ts!”

Sorry, but that’s all I can think of when I see her. It is not my fault. I don’t dress her. But I am an equal opportunity piglet. I think the same thing about Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Except they need not be asked the question since they will provide such visuals without much thought......

Israel is probably the name of one of her lesbian friends...

Unless I am missing something, she didn’t go Dihmmi. “A kid asked me to pray for him and I did” is far beyond what the average celeb would ever say in public. She asked for, and admitted to PRAYING FOR ISRAEL.

Then she said she didn’t support violence. That’s not caving in to Muslims, nor slamming Israel. Now I would love to see a celeb as gung ho as we are about pounding Pali terrorists into little balls of dirt, but for a Hollywood type to go that far? I am impressed. Sure it would have been nice to see her tell them to pound salt, but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

Sorry Michelle, Overreaction on your part.

To be accurate, she did not tweet "Pray for Israel".

Her tweet was a response to one person who asked for her to pray for him.

Katy Perry is a godless harlot. The children of God should have nothing to do with her.

Asking the public to pray for a person in Israel...Godless...

Nope. Something just not adding up there. Is that religion I see on your sleeve?

I'd rather see those revealed than her opinion on Middle East issues, that's for sure.

These people pray??? I doubt Katy or any of today’s entertainers, or the people who tweet vulgarity know what a prayer is. No matter which side they are on.
