Dear Costello:
Firstly, accept my sincere apologies for being unable to refer to you as “Elvis,” for the obvious reason that you aren’t really Elvis.
Secondly, allow me to address your decision to cancel the show planned for Israel. I attempted to understand the reasons you referred to in your cancellation notice. You addressed the “humiliation of Palestinians civilians in the name of national security,” and I wonder what you meant.
Perhaps you’re referring to the roadblocks and fence we built in order to prevent suicide bombers from exploding in our buses and coffee shops. The dramatic decline in Palestinian massacres, from an average of one a day to almost nil may indeed be humiliating for them, as you noted.
Or maybe you referred to Operation Cast Lead. If that’s the case, you are in fact condemning us for deciding to put an end to eight years of rocket attacks targeting our kindergartens. If you think this is demagoguery, please go ahead and check the timers which the “humiliated” terrorists set for the rockets. They were aiming for the hours where our children head to kindergarten and to school.
Immediately after doing so, these terrorists rushed to hide being their own women and children. And why did they do so? So you, Costello, will see our response on your television screen, and proceed to express shock and suddenly call off your show in Israel – a year and a half later.

Why would anyone in Israel even care if this Costello guy cancelled an appearance? I know I sure wouldn’t.
The wrong Elvis kicked the bucket.
I liked his spectacle show on tv, but his Costello himself stinks. I wouldn’t say that about his wife; have all here dvds and try my best to pick up her songs. What did she ever see in him?????
Ray wasn’t ignorant.
STFU and play yer guitar! Dumb@ss.
when he teamed-up with Burt Bacharach and Heather Graham in that Austin Powers movie, it was almost more Tin Foil Hat Leftist Whacko-ism than the screen could hold.
I wouldn’t recognize him if I heard him. Or saw him, probably.
There goes the humanitarian award. LOL!
How about just "Shut up?" Could have done with out his emascualted whining all these years.
Also note that Gil Scott Herin, perenial race-baiter from the seventies, "refuses" to "play" Israel. However, Elton John still has plans to perform their, for the moment.
They're all boycotting Arizona, too, right?
Well, actually, he’s not really Costello, either.
You beat me to it. And, I'm fond of saying "keep it real."
This is creepy.
Every day they write the book, problem is they can’t because it’s in ENGLISH and they only speak and write SPANISH.
Elton John is Jewish, I’m afraid to say. Maybe he wants to lend support to suicidal Israeli leftists.
Elvis Costello is surprisingly Jewish, although he did not find out about his mother being Jewish until he was an adult.
what can you expect from the guy who sang, “Alison...I think somebody better put out the big light...my aim is true...”
Great minds..... ;-)
Elton John is Jewish, I’m afraid to say.
Where can one verify that? IINM, his name at birth was “Reginald Dwight.”
