Lady Gaga: World is wrong about Israel

[King_David]

Tel Aviv was magnificent, star singer says in interview, and its people are ‘in good spirits’

Pop star Lady Gaga says the world’s image of Israel is inaccurate, calling the country “a beautiful place.”

“Oh it was fantastic!” said Lady Gaga in an interview published Friday by The Independent, talking about her September 13 performance in Tel Aviv. “Tel Aviv was magnificent. The world view of Israel is just not reality. It’s in a beautiful place, the people are in good spirits.”

“I had a very emotional show with those fans. It was wonderful,” she said.

The 28-year-old singer also said her duet at the Tel Aviv show with famed crooner Tony Bennett was not planned, but was rather his idea.

“And I was very overwhelmed when Tony surprised me there. I knew he was coming in [to Tel Aviv] for a show, but he came a day early and he said: ‘Hey, you wanna sing “Anything But Love” at the ArtRave?’ And I thought: ‘Gosh, how magnificent! To bridge the jazz and the pop world at the same time.’ And at that show there were 25,000 people singing every word.”

1. So much for BDS taking off especially among millennials .

Bet it was a great concert.

[Scootaloo]

9. Your pride in oppression and violence is continuously noted, Dave

[King_David]

10. Is continuously noted?

Is that like a threat Scootaloo ?

What do you mean by that creepy statement ?

Does it mean I get reported to some extreme right wing group who hates Jews , Gays and Israel ?

What exactly do you mean ?

1st Oberliner is the victim and now me ?

WTF ?

[Scootaloo]

11. No, continuously noted

We're well aware that you take great pride and joy in the killing and oppression of Palestinians. Your breathless joy at everything you perceive to be a failure of BDS makes it pretty clear, over and over again.

Do you feel threatened to have your love of brutality noted?

[King_David]

12. I edited it ,

Yet another creepy post.

[Scootaloo]

14. Yeah, I saw that you did. It made me chuckle

You're so over the deep end, because I point out that you are continuously showing everyone that you celebrate and take pride in the oppression and brutalization of Palestinians.

[shaayecanaan]

40. Well...

The 28-year-old singer also said her duet at the Tel Aviv show with famed crooner Tony Bennett was not planned, but was rather his idea.

I bet it was more like having your bell-end ground off with a cheese grater, myself.

[King_David]

41. I'm not sure I understand that,

But ok , sure .

[Ken Burch]

42. I don't think most Americans know what "bell-end" means...it's more of a Brit expression.

(for those of us who do get it...AAAAAIIIIIGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!)

[shenmue]

2. :)

Am I the only one who thought the words to 'Bad Romance' were, "bathroom ants"?

[Sopkoviak]

3. Maybe

♪♫ There's a bathroom on the right ♪♫

[King_David]

4. Ha ha

Probably

[Aerows]

5. LOL Bathroom Ants

That was hilarious! I love Gaga.

[grossproffit]

6. Remember the song "The Groove is in the Heart?"

My friend thought it was "Moses in the Dark." and I thought it was "Roses in the Park." LOL

[Aerows]

7. I'm "Blinded by the Light"

[Scootaloo]

8. Because the millionaire pop star reception in Tel Aviv is a great indicator of life in Palestine.

Glad she had fun, I suppose.

[King_David]

13. It was a great concert ,

Gagas concerts always are...

[Scootaloo]

15. No doubt. I'm actually a fan. But her statement is pretty silly, in context.

Spend half a day rockstarring around Tel Aviv, and the other half performing, before retiring to one's hotel room... isn't a particularly good way to get insight into the matters that Israel wins criticism over.

Kinda like dismissing the oppression of Tibet on basis that you stayed in a really nice hotel after a night of gambling in Macau one time.

[malokvale77]

38. This...

but I don't think they will ever get it or even care if they do.

[azurnoir]

16. ever notice ToI redirects you to an antiObama page when you attempt to leave the site

by hitting the back button-just an interesting factiod about this source

Now I'm sure Lady Gaga is the voice of all knowing when it comes to Israel just like her duet with Tony Bennett was totally spontaneous

[sabbat hunter]

17. that did not happen to me

It took me right to the site I was at before ToI.

[azurnoir]

18. if you say so

[sabbat hunter]

34. you think I am lying?

[azurnoir]

35. my answer was neutral n/t

[sabbat hunter]

36. actually it wasn't

when you say something like that, it implies that you do not believe the person.

[azurnoir]

37. no it says either way I do not believe or disbelieve

as I said a neutral comment I'm sorry you misunderstood

[oberliner]

19. It doesn't

If you hit the back button, you go back to whatever site you were on before.

[azurnoir]

20. it does do that to me in fact the page is about a new monetary law

that supposedly will bankrupt people

[King_David]

22. I think it's probably just the site you were surfing before...

Try again...

[azurnoir]

23. Nope only ToI not mention ToI lists NewsMax as a partner site kind of speaks volumes

about ToI's leanings

[King_David]

25. Well I just tested it 3 times..

Once on this site and again on similar articles on Haaretz and NYT and it never happened to me.

[azurnoir]

26. well good for you

[oberliner]

30. Where is the list of partner sites?

Can you post a link?

[azurnoir]

31. side bar front page right under a Domino's pizza ad lists 8 articles from News Max n/t

[oberliner]

32. It's there

That definitely does tell you something about the source.

[King_David]

21. Diva with a huge following

And probably the ability to influence millions more with 1 tweet than read this IP group.

What a fantastic ambassador to Tel Aviv with what she said.

And a Gay Diva to boot.

[azurnoir]

24. Is that why she and Taylor Kinney are on the rocks? Because she's Gay?
