Madonna To Peres: "I'm An Ambassador For Judaism"

AP:

Madonna toasted the Jewish new year with Israeli President Shimon Peres and declared herself an "ambassador for Judaism," local newspapers reported Sunday.

The singer, who is not Jewish, arrived in Israel Wednesday on the eve of Jewish new year to attend a conference on Kabbalah or Jewish mysticism.

Madonna met Peres at his official Jerusalem residence on Saturday evening and the two exchanged gifts, with Madonna receiving a lavishly bound copy of the Old Testament.

Let us see: She represented her first religion (Catholicism) as a promiscuous slut. Now maybe she will bring as much pride to Judaism. Long past significant in any way other than self promotion. And she looks like Skelator.

All it takes to bring out the anti-Semites is for a headline to mention any reference to Judaism or Israel. But, of course, even noticing this form of bigotry just shows that I'm overly-sensitive

Oops! I forgot: There's no such thing as anti-Semitism!

It was good to see (early) Madonna question or reject organized religious brainwashing. Now she's back to square one - different religion, same brainwashed Madonna.

Furthermore, she wears fur and hunts foxes. Very spiritual, eh? I cringe whenever I see her overly muscled man arms and botoxed mug.

Rather my kids find Madonna as a role model than some cold, sexless, out of shape, box minded criminal like Dick Cheney or George W. Bush.

Like being sexy, motivated, and learning at 49 years old is something not worth achieving.

At least her Sex Book photos were easy on the eye and appealing.

Some of you must be waiting for Dick Cheney's to come out.

Modanna looks relaxed and happy in the photo. She's getting what she loves - having her picture in the paper.

During the last years of his life, comedians joked about Bob Hope saying he'd be delighted to show up anywhere for a photo shoot - be it the local deli or the local Car Wash. So, given that, Madonna's doing pretty good for herself.

Put this tramp in a Burka and get her out of my face. Material girl, pop-tart turn tea-bag aristocrat, my ass.

What a joke ... stupid goy ... No wonder the Jews think they are more intelligent ... wide eyed dipshits like Madonna swoon over their Zorastrian plagiarism

Boobala and Ghostofthebluejeans: you guys were born too late. If only you two jungens could have marched side by side through the cobble streets of Germany on the 1930's with your torches held high - wearing your short-pants Hitler Youth Bavarian outfits. What bliss for the two of you. Worshipping your elder brothers - the blond haired blued eyed SS officers. I'm not sorry you missed your calling and see you're trying to make up for lost time.

Madonna the queen of Judaism. Wow.

That should raise the splendor of Palestinians in the minds of the entire world, no?

Given the conduct of the Jews regarding their treatment of the Palestinians Madonna may be a truly symbolic representative of their governments policy if not their religion. Everything that these people do is mystical but not mysterious. I think that they make good bedfellows afterall!
