During the “Second Intifada,” Palestinian terrorists carried out a wave of suicide bombings, killing hundreds of Israelis at nightclubs, cafes, buses, and other locations throughout Israel, such as at a hotel during the Jewish holiday of Passover. Eventually, over the objections of the international community, Israel built a security fence that has proved successful in virtually eliminating the capacity of terrorists to carry out suicide attacks. Being deprived of their ability to massacre Jews through suicide bombings, Palestinians turned toward indiscriminately firing rockets at Israeli civilians. The threat that exists today is mostly mitigated, for the time being Israelis are not being killed as they once were due to security measures taken by the government. There's always the possibility of a rocket landing in a population center - it is more rare than it previously was. Still, having to drop everything, leave your car/bus/kitchen/school/hospital and run to a shelter in 15 seconds multiple times a day for weeks on end isn't a way to live life. So while it's "safe" in the sense that casualties are unlikely, it's still a scary situation. That's the best way of explaining it - but really, you have to live in Israel to understand what this truly means on a daily basis.

oh ffs, if you think this is terrible how do you think Palestinians live? Israel hasnt felt 1% of what Palestine has been going through.

Actually, there's a ceasefire. No one is getting murdered, so please calm down.

Actually, they have.... just because you want to take the last few weeks to say the situation in Gaza has been worse than in Israel means nothing. Over their lifetimes, Israelis have dealt with similar if not worse situations - see above for suicide bombings. At least in Gaza you get a little knock on the roof (if you even stay in your home) and perhaps have a chance to escape. In Israel, when a suicide bomber blows up your favourite store at the mall, you're dead without any warning.

There's a ceasefire at the moment, but it doesn't change the fact that just last month hundreds of children were blown to bits. And how long is this ceasefire going to last for? Probably not long

This is honestly one of the worst things i've read on this site, have you head yourself? Well done for giving them 30 seconds to run before you blow them up

Why punish a whole country on the actions of its government?

That's what I hope so too, at least if she's half the humanitarian she makes us believe to be but i'm doubtful

What about the fans in Palestine, shouldn't they be allowed to freely attend her show? Why should it only be a privilage for the Israelis?

I'm not talking about the last few weeks, I'm talking about the past 50 years or so where Israel has constantly been up against gaza, where it killed thousands in bombings.
I'd like to ask a question to all you Pro-isrelis, if you live in gaza where you are OPPRESSED & humiliated, have your family & friends KILLED, have NO WAY to confront the ennemy face to face how the hell do you fight back? how the hell are you supposed to fight such an 'invisible ennemy'? suicide bombings (when they used to happen aka years ago) where their ways of pressuring the israeli government to leave, a way to fight back. Palestinians barely do anything because they can't even do anything because they don't have the resources against Israel. Stop using everything Palestinians have done as excuses for your actions which were 10x worse.

You all need to stop.
Arguing for one side is part of the problem. We should all be campaigning for peace across the board. Fighting over decade old fueds that none of us can really understand is messy.
If you're against lady gaga performing in Israel start a twitter movement to ask her to speak out during the show.
