31. how can anyone support arabs who dont want Pal or Israel?
david ,   boston, usa   (09.04.09)
Face facts, the Arabs dont want another Arab Palestinian state. This has been true for 100 years and hasnt changed. No one should support creating another arab palestinian state since NO ONE wants it. 2 states, Israel and Jordan Palestine. Cancel palestine. Create peace.
32. The Material (Ageing) Girl ignores the occupation
Nour ,   Palestine   (09.04.09)
Although I'm a huge fan of hers I'm deeply shocked at her indifference to the Palestinian issue and Israeli apartheid... So many times she visited Israel yet she never found a need to visit such places as Bethlehem, Ramallah, etc. What a pitty, she could be a voice of peace. instead, she prefer whoring about Israel and bragging about Kabalah. Only 10 years back she was into Buddhism. God knows what her object of fascination will be in 10 years, but theen again, she's Madonna - the Material Girl!
33. Ok--Let's sing about Gaza...
Larry G. ,   Hamilton, Canada   (09.04.09)
These are some of the themes: Beating up of men and women who hold hands in public. Shouting whore at women who are walking without the escort of a husband or a male relative. The celebration of legalizing pedophilia through child marriages. Celebration of unrequited love and men throwing acid in the faces of those women who rejected them. Madonna sang "Papa don't preach" about a young girl who got pregnant by her boyfriend. How about a song called "Papa don't kill me" about a girl who is crying for her life just as her father is going to murder her through an honor killing. Celebrating the shooting off of rockets to Israel on the roof of a U.N. school and then running away. Then shouting in joy when innocent kids are killed when an IDF response aimed at the rocket launching team blows up the school. Hey...this is fun! Let's all sing about Gaza!
34. #27 - That's just the point...the reason for their narcissim
William ,   Israel   (09.04.09)
That's just it - BECAUSE the Palis are given their own agencies, their own "refugee" definitions, their own assigned personal to deal with them specifically, their own special status as a pre-State entity, their own special narrative as if their history is really anything different than their neighbors...hell they even get UN Observer status (and get to throw tirades occassionally) and their own Olympic team! No wonder why they are narcissistic! It's not absolutely their fault but the fault of the world body, under pressure of Arab bloc and Anti-Israel groups that demand this special treatment. I have no doubt that if this situation were recreated with any other group - Kurds, Basques, or B'hai, for instance, the result after 60 years will be exactly the same. A great article in the WSJ cited a "youth bulge" among Palestinians because they have nothing else to do except multiply, and the adverse effects it has on Pals and the rest of the world: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123171179743471961.html
35. Bitar - get a life.
Scott ,   USA   (09.04.09)
36. Actually, that adoption idea is a good one.
Scott ,   USA   (09.04.09)
She should adopt as many Palestinian children as she can, take them out of that hell-hole, and raise them as non-Muslims.
37. #1Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha. That was a good one.
Maurie ,   Israel   (09.04.09)
38. God love a woman with courage
truth   (09.04.09)
you go girlfriend!
39. As usual the Palestinian Arab underachievers are envious
Frank ,   USA   (09.04.09)
of the Jewish state of Israel.
40. 22 Arab regimes and Hamastan/Fatahstan
Adam ,   USA   (09.04.09)
want what the Jews have. Sure! What else is new? Yet, they will never emulate Israel's ability to innovate and energize in any Arab state. They are mired in hatred and jealocy.
41. G-d bless Madonna!
Daniel ,   USA   (09.04.09)
42. Madonna should sing in Gaza, w/ her pointy bra & all!
Aharon ,   Los Angeles   (09.04.09)
Can you imagine Hamas allowing Madonna sing in Gaza, wearing her pointy bra thing and singing "Like a virgin" to a Palestinian audience? And if she did adopt a Palestinian child, she would raise him with Kabbala and make him a Jew! Would Bitar then come to his Bar MItzvah?!?!?
43. #20, go fetch a muzzle!
Terry ,   Chicago, IL   (09.04.09)
Palestinians "terrorized Jews for 150 years"? Are you kidding me? Hundreds of thousands of you illegal immigrants forced yourselves unto the Palestinian population. I don't see how they were responsible for that. Moreover, I don't get how on earth you're a "5th generation Jew". Either you come from Palestinian ancestry, or you're just another illegal immigrant with delusions of entitlement. And Ynet, stop censoring inoffensive posts!
44. outraged by Madonna in Israeli flag
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (09.04.09)
if mad donna wrapped herself in a homicide belt would that make the palestinians happy?
45. Adopt a Gaza child with a diaper full of explosives? I pass.
Yaniv ,   Israel   (09.04.09)
46. Adopt a Pal Child?That'll be the day Moslems allow a XTIAN
Alan ,   SA   (09.04.09)
47. Madonna chose light over darkness. Deal with it losers.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (09.04.09)
48. fools
jj   (09.04.09)
this wh... excuse me, woman, does not care about israel or palestine. she is doing whatever she can to stay in the news and to keep you idiots buying her crap that she calls music. its how she has lasted so long. she drummed up controversy by trolling the catholic church in the 80s/90s and now you are the new tool to keep her cashflow coming in. shes an airhead who cares about one thing; money. now stop discussing her and she will hopefully go away.
49. MESSAGE TO BITTER BITAR
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (09.04.09)
Go moan to someone who could give a damn.
50. what the articly fails to mention...
(09.04.09)
is that about half ( the half written in understandable english) of the posts are defending her form lifeless douchbags on youtube.
51. Maybe it's because Madonna has been to war torn Africa
B ,   haifa, Israel   (09.04.09)
that she understands that our "conflict" is just part of the greater jihad that she has been rescuing children from for the better part of this past decade.
52. Chutzpah!
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.04.09)
Always complaining and sticking their nose in Israel's business. The Palestinians didn't even invite Madonna to perform. If they had, radical islamists would have torched the place or they would have offered up some lame excuse to cancel her performance as they did with Leonard Cohen. His performance was cancelled simply because he planned to perform in Israel.
53. truth
Willem ,   NL   (09.04.09)
Israely s made a beatifull place from a piece of desert . Jews lived there far before mohammed that sick piece of ........... people with some brains see the truth.. kind regards Willem Netherlands
54. concert for palestinians
annette ,   tel aviv   (09.04.09)
Bitar - when leanord cohen wanted to play for both people, the palestininas boycotted.
55. Of all the Monkeys outraged.......
The Archives ,   Kuala Lumpur, M'sia   (09.04.09)
the devil would be the most outraged at Madonna who pulled out a child from the Dungeon in Gaza by adopting her. Probably all those who are still outraged have this 'odd-a-box' (orthodox) dungeon mentality.
56. #1
LIZ ,   ISRAEL   (09.04.09)
"collecting children"??? are you serious? are u normal? what happens to you. tell me how many people have you helped till the point of changing their lives??? so Angelina Jolie collects children? do have a heart? have you seen pics of madonna's kids before and after the adoptions.. i saw these kids in person.... and their smile and gratitude is tremendous. people like you dont deserve to be called Human... really. so pitiful your comment
57. 32. ur not the voice of peace...ur the voice of more lies
truth   (09.04.09)
58. 28. Israel is only interested in...
truth   (09.04.09)
the welfare and survival of her people. When you and the Arabs stop trying destroy Israel and kill her people, then there will be peace. Until then screw you and urs. If the Palestinian Arabs were to lay down their weapons today, peace would ensue. If Israel were to lay down her weapons today, there would be a lot of dead Jews.
59. 43. Ur a liar and a fool
truth   (09.04.09)
stop trying to rewrite history!
60. 53. It's good to hear that not all of Europe
