If only Madonna can teach Israelis to accept Gypsies everything will be all right.

Israel should ban porcupines!

Madonna looks good for her age. I'm pretty sure she dyes her hair, though...

[marron]

leftist and anti-Israel groups appealed to Madonna to skip the Israel part of her tour... Madonna did not come to Israel for the money. She is already worth over 325 million dollars... Madonna embracing the Israel flag... Thank you for coming to Israel.

Good for her.

Hope they have a Hazmat team following her decontaminating everyplace she sits.

A much awaited “show” (Madonna does not like to use the term concert)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The term “concert” implies you will be doing things like singing and playing music. Using show allows her to use canned music and vocals.

she hates bush and almost everything conservatives stand for but she still loves Israel

"It's so good to be here," Madonna told a standing-room-only crowd of cheering fans. "I was here a little while ago, but I did not perform then. I shouldn't have stayed away so long. It won’t happen again. Every time I come here I feel re-energized. I believe that Israel is the energy capital of the world."

All told, the numbers for the singer’s year-long global trek are jaw-dropping: $408 million grossed, more than 3.5 million fans attended and 32 countries hit, according to Live Nation, the tour’s producer. The figures make Sticky & Sweet the highest-grossing tour ever by a solo act, and the second-highest grossing trek of all time. Madonna even broke her own record: 2006’s Confessions tour held the honor of most successful solo tour with a $194 million gross. Take a bow, indeed.

"So Israel, hurry up and book me for another round of concerts! And make sure to put new toilet seats in my dressing rooms! Oh, and no brown M&Ms this time!"

...one of the greatest singers of all time...

Must be one of those Star Trek episodes where someone dinks up the timeline. Either that, or time is in bigger trouble than I thought.

...leftist and anti-Israel groups appealed to Madonna to skip the Israel part of her tour, while Israel leftists urged locals to boycott the concerts... Whether or not Madonna was criticized by a few extreme religious Jews for shaking her crotch or by Palestinians who wish to destroy Israel and responded to Madonna embracing the Israel flag, labeling her Madonna the Devil worshipper, their is no doubt that her presence in Israel and the Middle East could only bring smiles and some hope of normalcy and peace to the majority of Jews, Christians and Muslims living in the Holy Land. "It's so good to be here," Madonna told a standing-room-only crowd of cheering fans. "I was here a little while ago, but I did not perform then. I shouldn't have stayed away so long. It won’t happen again. Every time I come here I feel re-energized. I believe that Israel is the energy capital of the world. If we can live together in harmony in this place, we can live in peace all over the world."

I appreciate what Madonna’s doing and all, but could she please put some less revealing clothes on. She’s too old and fat to go parading around in a body sock, and besides, she still does have a decent voice, and the aforementioned body does not do it credit.
