31. What the 'palestinians' do to the 'palestinians' is far more
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (01.20.11)
DISGUSTING. Macy Gray if you cancel your shows in Israel you are helping JIHAD. 'palestinians' WILFULLY use their children and mothers to hide behind while they shoot missiles at Israel POPULATION CENTRES. What your take on that?
32. #7 WELL SAID
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.20.11)
I could not have said it better myself.I hope this woman stays away and spares us her noise.
33. Apartheid ?
(01.20.11)
Macy Gray stated that she believed the Israelis were conducting apartheid. If she believes this distorted view then we SHOULD NOT WANT her to come to Israel. This should not be an issue. I am a fan of her, but since I read her statements I would not want her to come to Israel.
34. My suggestion to you is: PLEASE
Israeli 2   (01.20.11)
DON'T COME! DO NOT CONTAMINATE ISRAEL!!! THANK YOU!!!
35. A Better Question To Ask . . .
emanon ,   USA   (01.20.11)
A better and more relevant question to ask is should she cancel over arab treatment of Israelis. That is the real problem, how the arabs are supporting terrorism against Israel and Jews worldwide.
36. NOT IMPORTANT
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.20.11)
Who cares if she comes or not ?
37. definately DO NOT COME!
david ,   new york   (01.20.11)
i recommend that you perform in gaza instead
38. maz is correct
Jrodstein ,   Basalt, Colorado   (01.20.11)
except that maz is the fool with the folly that is only wise in his own eyes that really don't see and he shouldn't be answered
39. junkie
ILAN ,   Belgium   (01.20.11)
just a stupid junkie Not a big loss
40. NO NEED YOU COWARD AND DON' T INSULT OUR GOVT
David   (01.20.11)
41. ok so now israelis MUST BOYCOTT HER !
(01.20.11)
42. Interact, communicate
maz ,   mtl   (01.20.11)
It is so easy to attack people. i can find anyone and attack his/her color, race, alcohol level, weight, beauty, religion, intelligence, whatever... what is more difficult is to engage in a fair and constructive debate. something that many on this forum fail in unfortunately. lest not forget: "violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" -Isaak Yudovich Ozimov peace be upon you.
43. do us all a favor stay HOME
(01.20.11)
44. DEAR MACY GRAY,
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.20.11)
My advice to you is that you should refrain from political comment and just sing ,or entertain ,whichever is the thing that you do .You are a professional entertainer.Your coming here or not coming makes no difference to the political landscape here but this is just another gig and you should regard it as such .No more need be said.
45. stupid junkie look at her facebook page
ILAN ,   belgium   (01.20.11)
with nazi swastikas instead of a david star on the israeli flag
46. I hope she doesn't get sick
moshe ,   jerusalem   (01.20.11)
because then she'd have to go to an Israeli "apartheid" hospital, and be treated by an Arab Israel "apartheid" doctor, and be given some Israeli "apartheid" medication from an Arab pharmacist in an Israeli "apartheid" pharmacy. Macy, people who use the term "apartheid" against Israel are bigots, and ignorant.
47. What a lame, pathetic stunt
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.20.11)
This is just a desperate attempt from a has been that few have even heard up to generate some publicity for a performance that might otherwise not sell more than a few dozen tickets.
48. Go-we don't need you.
noa ,   israel   (01.20.11)
49. Macy you're a clown
Greg ,   MD, USA   (01.20.11)
open your eyes, Palestinians blow themselves up on buses and send their children to do the same...and Israel is the disgusting one????!! You're a fool
50. Cancel Gray! Israel has plenty of its own talent.
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (01.20.11)
Israel and the Jewish people do not need the Macy Gray's of the world to get publicity and profit off anti-semitism (I had never heard of her before today). Israel has some of the best singers, composers and musicians on the planet. Who needs her? In the future, artists wishing to perform in Israel should have a clause in their contracts barring them from making anti-Israel statements.
51. she was here three times and she had doubts???
ygalg ,   israel   (01.20.11)
52. Miss Gray, go hump yourself.
Bashir   (01.21.11)
You disgust me.
53. Apartheid??
Jew ,   Israel   (01.21.11)
Dear Macy Gray, For your information, Arabs can walk around Jewish cities, and they even work in the "settlements" and no one bothers them. However, a Jew cannot walk around Arab towns and villages - if he wants to stay alive, that is. Please check your facts about the situation here and don't just listen to one side of things. PS I hope that you come - you have lots of Jewish fans here (and probably not many Arab ones).
54. Provide Macy the Truth about the Conflict
elizabeth ,   dallas, texas   (01.21.11)
Provide Macy the truth, citing primary and original documents not opinion pieces about the history of the conflict. So few people know the truth about the situation, do not know that Arab-Israelis are respected in Israel and have the same rights as Jewish Israelis----share the truth with her. Welcome her! Glad that she is coming to Israel!
