...under read, over scrutinized. A naive and ignorant missrep/misstep on her part. Like others (like Palin...) she'll undoubtedly be now boning up on her current affairs and history. As all should do. Peace- JC

she's a singer with pr agents..all she had to say is 'pray for victims of terror'--she would be criticized anyway but would not end up 'backing down'

What is wrong with people nowaday. When is it wrong to pray for a person or a nation. I prayed for Osama Bin Laden, I prayed for Obama eventhough I don't like them personally. " Anybody who will bless Israel will be blessed and anybody who curses Israel will be cursed."Book of Genesis, Chapter 12, Verse 1-3

to Katy Perry , You're free to show your ignorance as you see fit.

This just goes to show the ugly face of the Palestinians and their supporters. If they threaten a woman just because she wants to say a prayer, just imagine how these evil people would behave towards Israelis if God forbid they ever won a war.

Too bad she didn't stick to her guns. I'm dismayed that she felt the need to cow tow to the Israel bashers. If you can't stand by your statement, then why give one!

Wait... no she doesn't.

The Gaza terrorists just fired a rocket that injured a baby. They target Israeli children, but these pro-Palestinian supporters prefer to just ignore that. Go to hell Israel? Go to hell anti-Israel hypocrites and slime.

It's Katy Perry...why do they care? LULZZZ

"You're free to show your ignorance as you see fit" So are you. And you avail yourself of this at every opportunity.

The only messages whichever comes from palestinians are filled with hatred. It is their way of living, having deep hate between themselves. Poor people brainwashed by an ideologi.

She was just trying to do the right thing and got slammed for it. Prayers for the Middle East.

Suppose your paper to publisize all this garbage. Are you under so called Culture section promoting trash ????

who is a clear strong and uncompromising supporter of Israel , who would want to stand with Israel without back and forth dance ?

How about praying for a mutually agreeable peace agreement based on both sides negotiating and making acceptable compromises?

and blood libel, anyone who says otherwise is in denial and people like Katy who are ignorant of the situation immediately back down and go with the lies of how Israel kills innocent children on a routine basis I wish all the enemies of Israel could be killed, that is my wish

She did not say that she does not support Israel. She said that she does not support violence. Israel is defending herself AGAINST violence. I'm thinking that Ms. Perry is nobody's fool...she just wants those animals to leave her alone. I don't blame her...do you?

is that what she's saying? of course not but she allowed herself to be intimidated by the vicious supporters of the hateful terrorist regime in gaza.

and their supporters are really like. Bullies at best, terrorists at worst. Sure she now loves ISRAEL even more.

These celebs are a bunch of wusses. Thanks, anyway, sista.

If Katy Perry can be accused of spitting on Gaza, then I am proud to anounce that I sh...t on Gaza. If Katy is a whore, I feel justified in calling Gaza a Bordello blessed by allah. --- Long live free people . nations, countries, throughout the world, with the exclusion of the cursed palis. Have a nice day Salma.

....I don't know the girl is but she's pretty and that's enough for me. I guess the pals are jealous.

ago! That sewer should have been flushed out.

The Palestinians are sub human monsters incapabile of empathy for anyone.but themselves. They reap what they sow. Misery and death are their daily bread. Katy was right. Meerly showing sympathy for Israel causes these rabid beasts to howl like the animals they are.

Katy Perry was sending a message of hope and peace, The rude, arrogant Palestinian response provides more evidence that they truly do not want peace with Israel. Shame on them. Katy, stand up for your rights to express yourself.

It used to be that someone would actually make a statement and be criticised or praised.Now it is actually if a person puts something on twitter.I really fear for humanity if a person can put something on twitter and this becomes news

Total barbarians who kill their own and blame Israel! More Muslims have been killed by Muslims since Mohammed had his visions than by any else but its all Israel's fault! I am sure that Katy Perry couldn't care a **** what the Palestinian and Gazans think!
