31. if she backs out then never attend or buy all by this bitch
ralph   (06.17.14)
32. Really?
Koose E Mack ,   NY USA   (06.17.14)
Who cares?
33. good; she's a natural ally of hamas
dante   (06.17.14)
let her perform for the kidnappers, the rocket launchers, suicide bombers, and the other assorted terrorists on the other side. she'll feel at home there. (oh, they might arrest & stone her, apply sharia? well, too effing bad.) she's too ignorant, too stupid, too complacent, too self-righteous for Israel.
34. Yes yes please cancel
no sin thanks   (06.17.14)
You'd be doing us a huge favour d(r)earie. Awfully depressing ducky
35. BDS
Paul ,   Kenya   (06.17.14)
is collective punishment, then world moans about Israel blockade on gaza as collective punishment. Tit for Tat, to all those arabfirster hypocrites.
36. Don't let the door hit your fat ass on your way OUT!
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.17.14)
A second-rate artist who thinks anyone actually gives a damn! Reading a menu in Braille is more entertaining than one of her concerts!
37. Cant fool us bigots. BDS is just BS with a "D" in the middle
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.17.14)
What does the "D" stand for though?
38. neither she nor her music has been relevant for a long time.
(06.17.14)
39. STAY IN DUBLIN
Simcha ,   NYC USA   (06.17.14)
...and tear up pictures of The Pope like you did on SNL. If she cancels, sue the crap out of her for breaking the contract. She can always go to Gaza City to perform- i'm sure they will love her there as she sings "Nothing Compares To You".
40. Oh, so she's worried about "cost to myself"?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (06.17.14)
So if her contract includes a "no show" or cancellation penalty, she'll show up. Because she doesn't want to suffer any "cost to myself". In that case she'll appear on the stage, do only what's required of her, and meanwhile throw a few comments about the Palestinians into the show. Israel doesn't need her or her second-rate music.
41. so dumb
alsky ,   Toronto   (06.17.14)
She will take this years Islams usefull idiot reward.
42. Adam Moe...
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (06.17.14)
I too would like to know....why only Israel ? Don't take it for granted that we all know...
43. Well
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (06.17.14)
If you want to join Ersatz Palestinians, it's ok. But be coherent, and put in a burka.
44. It AMAZES me how IGNORANT Performers are
Riva ,   Israel   (06.17.14)
and fall for the sham presented by the well known terror organizations PLO and HAMAS! Since I was growing up in the 70's, the terror and murder of the PLO was well known and many movies were made depicting them always as the bad guys because they justify any "cause" with brutal murder and terror of anyone including babies and children on a regular basis. THEN, they tell the world how Israel is hurting them! when in reality, tight controls are put on all Israeli citizens not to even think bad thoughts about Arabs (though so many of us have all suffered PTSD) as a result of either being victims of terror ourselves or knowing someone who is! So if this stupid performer can be so easily influenced, who needs her!
45. That's OK Sinead, Israeli law already prevents you from comi
Skava ,   Galilee, Israel   (06.17.14)
The new law is that all singers who come to Israel to perform, must be able to sing on key without the need of Auto-tune. They are however, welcome to come as tourists!
46. Israeli citizens, you are duped by the
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (06.17.14)
pro-Palestinian lobby. The anti-Zionist NGOs in Israel are supporters of BDS. They promote the boycott of Israel. Israeli citizens, outlaw these NGOs and its supporters. Even if they call themselves "Rabbi". They are evil people. rememberamalek.blogspot www.financingtheflames.com
47. Stay Home Sinnaed we dont want u !
TheLoonyIrishLeft ,   Boston Ma USA   (06.17.14)
What is this BS from this confused woman a product of the loony Irish left she will only use her appearance to make a pro Palestinian program at the behest of the loony Tel Aviv Left and of course our fawning media A quick check on this chick will reveal serious Psych problems .
48. #1 Army Radio played Arab Songs
TheGuiltyPartyIsUs ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.17.14)
2 days ago right after the news of the latest developments of the kidnap Israel Army Radio opened with an Arab song ...later the same of another station decided it was time to play tribute to Um Kaltoon the legendary Egyptian singer I don't blame the station they know they can and always have gotten away with it ,,because our Knesset members including Rivlin have decided we must be the first anarchist liberal nation in world history we are the blame for our indifference we need only need look in the mirror to find the real culprits "the mysteriously indifferent Jewish Israeli public " Ever here for anyone to call for even one demonstration for a balanced media !???
49. Unaware?
Jon ,   Tel Aviv   (06.17.14)
Is Sinead "aware" that the extermination of the Jews has also been "requested" by the palestinians?
50. who cares...
music lover   (06.17.14)
We just had the Rolling stones performing in Tel Aviv, and we are waiting for the Pixies and Soundgarden performance. No one cares about Sinead coming or not to Israel. In fact, we prefer she will not come.
51. keep away!!!
rjd ,   london / tel aviv   (06.17.14)

Friend of Israel ,   Londonderry N Irelan   (06.17.14)

freeOFsienad   (06.17.14)
