Madonna lectured a crowd in Bucharest, does anyone think she'll do the same in Tel Aviv today?

I've been to Romania and Bucharest. They are a minority in Romania today, about 25% of the population. They aren't treated as bad as Palestinians are. Anyway, my bet is Madonna stays silent in Tel Aviv. Anyone want to bet me?

Please do not hijack this thread. This thread is about Madonna and whether she will comment similarly in Tel Aviv on behalf of Palestinians as she did in Bucharest on behalf of the Roma. What's your guess, yes or no? Thanks.

You comically said Roma's are not treated that bad...

As for your question, who knows?

I said: not treated as bad (in Romania) as Palestinians are in Israel/occupied territories. Nothing I am saying is comical either. I think Madonna is a two-faced coward who will remain silent in Tel Aviv.

Well, she's an excellent (best) marketer, maybe the best in the industry, so I wouldn't put it past her.

Maybe, just maybe, the plight of the Roma and the Palestinians aren't really comparable?

Madonna is free to support the causes she wants, and to not support or speak out against anything else.
