Why not in Palestine?
It’s clear to me that the One Voice peace movement is plagued by irony (just as all left-leaning groups are).
Canadian Rocker Bryan Adams to Give Free Concerts **in Israel** if Attendees Sign Peace Pledge
Oh, c’mon. Why not in peace/life loving Palestine?
The New York-based One Voice peace movement said the concerts were aimed at bolstering its campaign to collect one million signatures of ordinary Israelis and Palestinians demanding that their leaders sit down and finalize an agreement on a Palestinian state living at peace with Israel.
The head of One Voice’s Ramallah office, Fathi Darwish, said Adams would launch the West Bank event at a football stadium in the ancient town of Jericho, then head to Tel Aviv to perform.
“Our goal is to send a message to the world, that the Palestinian people love life, and hope for life and liberation,” Darwish said. ~foxonews.com
So the idea is that dangling the enormous treat of a Bryan Adams concert above the Israeli and Palestinian people will cause them to agree to a miraculous peace agreement which they might not have otherwise agreed to. Except that One Voice appears to be blindly ignorant of the fact that Israelis have western style concerts all the time. In fact Israel is modern country complete with things like record stores and disco-techs.
So it would seem that a Bryan Adams concert would be more rare in Palestinian terror-tory. Thus being more of an incentive to Palestinians – or so it would seem. Except for the 7th century muslim religious code that might get Bryan Adams beheaded for any number of blasphemies… (I wanna be your underwear, by Bryan Adams.)
But then again maybe the suicide-bomber jihadi-set would be able to ‘rock out’ with Bryan Adams on select songs…
I wanna be young – the rest of my life
never say no – try anything twice
til’ the angels come – and ask me to fly
gonna be 18 ’til I die – 18 ’til I die
can’t live forever , that’s wishful thinkin’
whoever said that must have been drinkin’
don’t wanna grow up – I don’t see why
I couldn’t care less if time flies by
