Madonna will fulfil her commitments with gigs in Tel Aviv

Madonna's manager Guy Oseary has assured fans in Israel it will take an act of war to stop the pop superstar from fulfilling her commitment to perform in Tel Aviv on her 2012 MDNA tour.

Devotees are so worried that tensions in the Middle East will prompt Madonna to cancel two planned shows for Tel Aviv, they have started a petition urging Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to delay any kind of potential international military action with rival Iran until after the concerts.

But Oseary has assured them that it will take an awful lot for Madonna to scrap the gigs.

He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "It would have to be really serious, where the lives of people working with us are in danger.

"This woman doesn't cancel anything, she just goes."

And to prove his point, Oseary reveals Madonna is considering performing in some of the world's most dangerous places: "We would love to play Lebanon, Egypt and Syria at some point... Obviously, it's just not possible (right now)."

This has the ring of farce to it..."Stop ze war! Stop ze war! Madonna is doing ze singing! Wait for it, wait for it...OK, she has gone, FIRE ZE GUNS!!!!"

Maybe these fans should be asking themselves that if a war can be postponed to allow a singer to play a concert, then perhaps whatever they're fighting over is not really worth people dying for in the first place?

There is in no serious danger to Madonna, her staff, or her fans.

The danger is that she might follow in the moral footsteps of other celebrities and answer Yes to the call for boycott, divestment and sanctions.

Doesn't seem likely, but that's the pre-occupation in Israel.
