If only they would listen!

 

Madonna calls for an end to rockets  Queen of pop posted a tribute to murdered teens on her Facebook page, urging Israelis and Palestinians to reach a ceasefire agreement amid escalating violence.

The queen of pop, Madonna, is urging Israel and Gaza to come to a ceasefire agreement.Amid ongoing rocket fire from Gaza and retaliatory airstrikes that Israel is calling Operation Protective Edge, the iconic starlet posted to her Facebook page a call to stop the violence.The 55-year-old diva made two consecutive posts, both urging an end to the violence. One post was accompanied by a picture of the three young Israeli yeshiva students who went missing in the West Bank last month and were later found dead, and the other accompanied by a picture of the 16-year-old Palestinian boy who was kidnapped shortly after and found dead near Jerusalem.The kidnappings were closely followed by a tense escalation of violence including long-range rocket launching from Gaza aimed at metropolitan areas and harsh Israeli airstrikes aimed at demolishing terror sites, resulting in more than 100 casualties. Operation Protective Edge, Israel's offensive against Gaza is now in its sixth day.Madonna has been known to have a keen interest in Kabballah, the study of Jewish mysticism, and although she doesn't identify as Jewish, Madonna is a strong advocate for the ancient Jewish study.

great that she says what many people think.

It's inspiring that she speaks out. She certainly walks the talk.

She should just put on a concert right at the border of those countries. Music makes people come together.

 

Of course, I'm kidding, but wouldn't it be great if people just came together for the sake of music. After all, people fall out and build tension over the most stupidest things, namely religion.

such concert cold be put on anywhere in the world to take a stand.

But right on the borders would make more of a statement!!

It would be great if her next album includes a pro peace song or anything similar... If she wants to continue with the preachy speech at least convince the general audience with more thoughful songs than Girl Gone Wild :mama003: And it's not that I haven't enjoyed silly songs like that, but even Music has remained untouchable despite having very simple lyrics.

What a good idea to have a concert on the borders. I wish she'd do it (if it were safe).
