Madonna to appear at Eurovision, won’t bow to ‘political agenda’
World Israel news ^ | 5/14/19 | By Reuters and The Algemeiner

Madonna, ahead of Eurovision appearance in Tel Aviv, says she won’t bow “to suit someone’s political agenda.”

“I’ll never stop playing music to suit someone’s political agenda nor will I stop speaking out against violations of human rights wherever in the world they may be,” Madonna said in a statement to Reuters.

“My heart breaks every time I hear about the innocent lives that are lost in this region and the violence that is so often perpetuated to suit the political goals of people who benefit from this ancient conflict. I hope and pray that we will soon break free from this terrible cycle of destruction and create a new path towards peace,” she added.

Israel is hosting the Eurovision contest after local singer Netta Barzilai won last year. The winning country customarily hosts the following year.

Madonna, 60, is expected to perform two songs in Tel Aviv, one from her upcoming “Madame X” album to be released in June. She had taken her world tours to Israel in 2009 and 2012 and is a follower of the mystical form of Judaism called Kabbalah.

The singer’s Ray of Light foundation, which promotes social justice and women’s empowerment worldwide, supports a number of Palestinian projects.

They include funding teachers’ salaries at schools in the Gaza Strip through the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency UNRWA and micro loans to female farmers through the Palestine Fair Trade Association. The foundation also supports Americans for Peace Now, which campaigns for a diplomatic solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Israel has launched a PR campaign to counter calls for a boycott of the Eurovision contest by the international boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. Security has been tight in Tel Aviv amid fears that activists may seek to disrupt the competition.

Not impressed. She’s still trying to play it down the middle, basically saying both sides are just as guilty.

Madonna?

Is this the same old aging whore who offered oral sex to anyone who would vote for Hillary back in 2016?

Madonna’s act is stale and nobody is buying her stuff. Madonna will take any paying gig she can get.

In this case, she is just putting her own financial gains before political correctness. And intentionally or not, her money is supporting terror attacks against Israel and teaching children to hate Jews.

Back in the mid 80's, I took DW to see Madonna. She sucked. We walked out about half way through the show.

Does she still want to blow up the White House? Or has she renounced violence in her old age?

I take it she will talk about Muslim genocides against Christians world wide?
