If Madonna were cool she would say something like "Thank you Israel - I love you". And say something gracious to her Israeli fans in Hebrew. I saw her in Chicago and she said "Thank you Chicago - I Love You!". She also would say things with the stereotypical Chicago accent. She said to one of the dancers in that Chicago accent, "You got any Italian Beef and Saseech for me!

She looks really bad and grotesque with this ridiculous bottox effects. Old lady behaves like a teenager. I think she has giant problems with herself. Regret!

Madonna should take her message to Gaza not Tel Aviv. Such a hipocrite... You couldn't pay me to see her concert.
