Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

VideoBite: Madonna wraps herself in Israeli flag
Madonna loves Israel: Arabs unhappy
Madonna wrapped up her world tour with two shows in Tel Aviv, but while the pop star received thunderous cheers from her Israeli public, wrapping herself in an Israeli flag at the end of both shows was a move that raised the ire of Palestinians and their supporters.
Madonna was given a large blue and white Israeli flag, apparently by someone in the front rows, minutes before the end of the shows, and wrapped it around herself.
Earlier in the shows, she said Tel Aviv was "the energy capital of the world."
