nydailynews.com: Israeli Madonna fans are asking their country to give peace a chance — at least until after the Material Girl's late-spring concert there. They're rallying around, what else, a Facebook page, called "Bibi don't start a war with Iran until after Madonna's show on May 29." Translated, that message suggests that Israel will eventually attack Iran if Iran doesn't back off on its nuclear development program. But it asks that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delay any such action until after the Madonna show, because of the likelihood that foreign artists would not want to play in a country with a war in progress.
Israel, like other countries with a history of military tension, has been a nervous gig for some artists over the years, going back to the 2001 cancellation of a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. Compounding the issue now are calls from advocacy groups outside Israel, asking that musicians boycott Israeli shows to protest Israeli policy toward Palestinians. That was apparently the reason Cat Power has canceled her planned weekend show in Tel Aviv >>>

SAVAK used to torture and murder people. They used to flog, gauge eyes out, nails out and that was on 14 year olds. But hey, that's OK on IC. Because if I call the chief of SAVAK "kesafat", I get my account deleted , by some horror of a personage flagging. Hey, all OK. Don't worry, all will be fine in bigotryland.
The sign saying:
by iraj khan on Fri Feb 10, 2012 06:18 PM PST'No War With Iran'
does not belong to the original picture
which depicts Madonna performing her song during Bush era.
Indeed it has been added to Madonna's photo at a later time, maybe during the last few days due to the rising tension between Iran, Israel and U.S.
Superimposing this anti war sign over the original photo is not a good idea because it misrepresents what Ms. Madonna stands for as a pro Israel entertainer.
old story
by Favela on Fri Feb 10, 2012 04:09 PM PSTWell the sign explicity says No War, not 'please delay war'. This conflict of interests is an old, old story, I found an Iranian stamp today from the 80s, saying 'Let's liberate Jerusalem'.

Israel slaughtered over 1000 Palestinians recently USA Cheering
by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Fri Feb 10, 2012 01:47 PM PSTon as usual, and they have never disagreed with the USA Policy of supporting and helping only Extremists in Islam to take over the governments of their countries respectively. As soon as Obama became president, just weeks after the massacres he made it clear the lives of Palestinians do not legally speaking matter at all for him or those on his side, not that republicans are any different to liberals on this matter. Israles Military and Air force outdo both UK and France separately in terms of size and fire power. And why wouldn't an artist want to play in Israel, for such a people. Its not like she is the real Madonna written about in the bible, the protector of children, she's in it to pay the rent.
Her song was "like" a Virgin, not actually a Virgin, so why expect such a person to be a spokes person & true symbol for anything.
So,
by iraj khan on Fri Feb 10, 2012 01:04 PM PSTaccording to Ms Madonna's fans
it's OK to bomb Iran after she is gone.
These are supposed to be 'Peaceful Israelis'.
With 'Peace Loving' people like these Israelis who needs warmongers?
The arrogance of the Material Girl (for planning to go to Israel) and Israeli settlers is in full view for everyone to see.
