I've Been Thinking:

Madonna is adding a second concert to her Tel Aviv tour. It is called the Peace Concert. She said that if there is anything she or music can do to help bring about peace - she will try.
Several major peace groups have been called upon to attend and be part of the concert.

The first Madonna concert will be held on May 29 in Ramat Gan Stadium. The second concert is scheduled for May 31. Her newest album entitled MDNA is scheduled to be released on May 26.

Madonna last performed in Israel in 2009. She refuses to be intimidated by the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. The BDS and many other sanction supporters have tried to pressure and even blackball Madonna and other performers to cancel their concerts in Israel.

Some performers have caved under the pressure. Madonna did not succumb to the BDS pressure in the past and will not now.

In her own words: "It is my way of thanking those who are making so much effort toward bringing peace to the Middle East."
