Protests over Madonna & the Israeli Flag?

Madonna causing protests? Apparently during a recent show, Madonna drapped herself in the Israeli Flag which set off protests in Gaza and the West Bank.

Hania Bitar, Palestinian Youth Association for Leadership and Rights Activation director general, said Palestinians voiced their displeasure with the Madonna's actions during one of her concerts in Tel Aviv, Israel, this week, The Times of London reported Saturday.

The "Material Girl" singer had been handed the Israeli flag by an audience member at her show. So, what did she do? She wrapped it around herself. Why should that be an issue?

One attendee of the Tel Aviv shows said Madonna, 51, did not adjust her style of dress for the Israeli appearances, despite a prior request to do so from an unidentified Orthodox rabbi.
"She looked amazing, especially for her age -- but not really what I would consider an 'observant' Jewish woman's dress," concertgoer Rachel Homesh told The Times. "We didn't really think that she would show up all covered up. She wouldn't be able to dance. The most she wore was at the very end, when she put on a Jewish flag."
Again, If you don't like the way Madonna sings, dresses, or performs, then get over it. Don't watch her, don't listen to her, or don't say anything about her. GET OVER IT!!!
