Madonna Sparks Crisis In The Middle East With Photo Of Gay Israeli-Palestinian Couple
Madonna stepped into it on Instagram again this week, posting a image of an Israeli and an Arab in an intimate embrace.
More than 75,000 people have "Liked" the image so far, but comments hav eranged from support to outright hateration.
"I'm an Arab, and there are others here too :) shalom!" posted one user. A French-speaking commenter was less charming, writing "What is this picture? More gay kind—yuck!"
The Material Matriarch has used gay imagery to touch on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict before, most notably during performances of "Forbidden Love" on her Confessions on a Dance Floor tour.
