1. are you kidding me
jdog ,   minneapolis, usa   (09.03.09)
Who cares. This lady is so wierd I would actually be scared if she supported me. Hopefully she stops collecting children like the witch from Hansel and Grettel.
2. palestinian losers, shut the hell up!!!

3. Why should Madonna adopt a Gaza child?
William ,   Israel   (09.04.09)
The world body and UN has already adopted the Gazan children, and future generations, into a destructive cycle of unsustainable population growth coupled with massive welfare benefits. How about the world ignore the Palestinians for once and let them get on with becoming self-sustaining. Only self-sustaining populations are able to be peaceful neighbors.
4. Fan now for life!
Jared ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.03.09)
Thanks Madonna! You rock!
5. And now...
Poitcha ,   Israel   (09.03.09)
they are pissed off with Madonna !! And if tomorrow morning Obama Barak announces that he intends to invite 4 Jewish community leaders to the White House for a pre Rosh Hashanah dinner, will they be pissed off with him too? Geez...you Palestinians and Muslims get pissed off at everything.
6. Good.
Steve from Raleigh   (09.03.09)
Get nice and angry and beat your wives and set some fires. You know, what you usually do. And then burn in hell.

AJ ,   Washington, DC   (09.03.09)
8. I'm bored about hearing how Palestinians suffer....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (09.03.09)
because they are too stupid to elect leaders that will compromise and make peace. I feel sorry for them because they are so stupid.
9. What about the occupation called Palestine?

Cancel Palestine, create Peace. Kol haKavod l'Madonna!

Steven ,   San Francisco   (09.03.09)
Thank you dear lady for your support! Encore!
15. If they are angry for our flag...
David ,   Raanana Israel   (09.03.09)
Lets be angry for see them , lets banish them, lets hate them, in other words, lets be like them!
16. Am Yisrael Chai- Long Live Madonna.
Everbody. ,   The World   (09.03.09)
We have a state deal with it and you Palestinians (Jordanians) have a state too. Its called JORDAN. Correct the koran which was copied from the torah anyway. Remove the vile that its people preach and then we can move on!
17. Why the uproar? It should be clear that...
Joshua ,   Israel   (09.03.09)
she doesn't believe in a 2 state solution. Who really does believe in 2 sovereign states living side by side? Fairy tale endings might be dreamt up by Israel haters, but this wont happen. Not in the middle east, and never for the Jews. So to the detractor saying that she can help more if she balances her support.. Help with what, exactly? 2 state solution? She aint inerested. Respect to Madonna for her position on the Mid East troubles!
18. Palestinians should find their own "Roll Model"
Roland Seener ,   London England   (09.03.09)
19. Please help me, I don't get it.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem Israel   (09.04.09)
Is Madonna the new scapegoat? Why is she responsible for the palestinians problems? Hamas would never let her perform in Gaza in a million years. If the people of Gaza want to see Madonna perform in Gaza they should get rid of Hamas. BLAME, BLAME, BLAME, that's all they know how to do.
20. Palestinian suffering BLAH BLAH BLAH
5th generation ,   Israel   (09.03.09)
Gee, all they did was terrorize Jews for 150 years, and look how the poor devils are being limited in their violent activities. Boo hoo hoo. Blah blah blah. The rest of the free world has to deal with a treasonous leader who praises the Religion of PIECE. Suck it up.
21. Oh please.
(09.03.09)
as if the Palestinians don't take advantage of EVERY celebrity they meet, to cover them up with a Palestinian flag, and sometimes with a Kaffiya with a map of entire Israel with 'Palestine' written over it. Just a few months ago, there was a 'peace soccer camp' with Arab and Jewish children going to see some European soccer players, and the first thing the Arab children did was put the Palestinian flag on one of the players, and took a picture with him. Opportunists, have I mentioned? And more to the point, why is this even news? there are THOUSANDS of youtubes videos with tons more worse comments. Don't go looking for trouble.
22. Gaza occupied?
Nicegoy ,   France   (09.03.09)
Hey Bitar, How about Gaza??? Have you forgotten that Gaza is NOT occupied by Israel? It is occupied by Hamas and suffering under Hamas!
23. Palis should invest in Madonna tickets instead of weapons
Grigorius   (09.03.09)
With the amount of Western aid, Iranian money, Arab world donations and taxes collected from Israeli-controlled Palestinian areas - they could be hosting Madonna every year. But rockets are more important than tickets, right?
24. Madonna
Alfred Inselberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.04.09)
Madonna really enjoys what she does and intimidation does not scare her. She looked fabulous with the Israeli flag. Kudos (to the retards - that means congratulations) for her courage and principles shining against the hate and violence in the world. Many people are inspired by her and will name their children after her. Yes she should adopt a Palestinian child and raise her as a decent person ... by contrast to the rest of them.
25. i used to think
Emanuel ,   London   (09.03.09)
that Jews are using guilt to encourage sympathy. now i discover that Palestinians are doing much better job at that, with a bit of hate and ignorance on the side. for people who are in suffering you sure have a lot of time dealing with nonsense. if you want to be taken seriously- start acting like you care about yourselves more than you hate Israel.
26. Can't see concert because territory under blockade
William ,   Israel   (09.04.09)
Here's a question for Palestinian youth....are you or are you not Israeli citizens?? I'll save you the cognitive efforts...NO, you're not Israeli citizens so even without the separation fence or road blocks, you still wouldn't be allowed into ISRAEL to see the concert because you are NOT citizens. Wait until she travels to Ramallah, and see her there. If you are unhappy with that choice, then ask your leaders why you're all fighting for your own separate State in the first place? The entire population there is just a bunch of whiny, needy, self-righteous miscreants who demand everything from the world and give nothing back but violence and a false historical narrative. Grow up.
27. Bitar is a narcissist - like those she claims to represent
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (09.04.09)
I wonder if it's possible for an entire culture to be diagnosed as suffering narcissism. She, like many of her fellow Palestinians, can't seem to look at any event without screaming, " What about us? Can't you see how much we are suffering?" It's all a crock. The average Gazan, even under the siege, lives better than the average Egyptian. The average West Banker lives better than the average Syrian or Jordanian. Since the hated "occupation" began in 1967, their infant mortality rate has fallen to the lowest, their average life span has become the highest, in the Arab world. The Palestinians get more aid per capita than any "refugee" population in the world. The UN has created whole agencies and working groups just for them. The Red Cross and Oxfam have assigned more personnel per capita to them than to any other population. And they're the only people who "bequeath" refugee status and claims to the next generation. So cry us a river, Bitar. Madonna isn't to my taste, but if she wraps herself in the flag of the host nation to honor her local fans, kudos to her.
28. 22 You betcha! Gaza is occupied by land, air and sea
lydia ,   Brisbane   (09.04.09)
It is an occupation when Israel lays siege to the population, shoots unarmed civilians including women and children with missiles,cluster bombs and depleted uranium, as well as Israel's incarceration of members of the legally elected and US supervised Government
29. Pali Suffering? haha
Mongo ,   Paris   (09.04.09)
What are rhese people smoking? Terror begets suffering. Stop whining all the timer and face up to the fact that you have achieved the unenviable status of the world´s most miserable L O S E R S. As such, you deseve have murderers as your role models.
30. Hypocrites, Palestinians wouldnt go see Madonna
Gila   (09.04.09)
