Israel Says She Loves You to Beatles Paul McCartney

Life is certainly a magical mystery tour. And for those of us who live in Israel, the long and winding road just became a bit more scenic. With the surprise announcement by Beatles singer and composer Sir Paul McCartney that he will be performing in Tel Aviv next month, the Jewish nation has taken a smiling leap back 40 years in time.

From car radios, open market CD players and inside elegant, modern stores, the warm, loving, magical and mythical blends of Beatles music permeate every city and town in Israel. From Metulla, Haifa and Katzrin in the North, to Hadera, Ra'anana, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Ashkelon, Ashdod, Rehovot, Dimona and Eilat in the south one can hear the sweet voices Paul, John, Ringo and George.

A host of Web 2.0 Facebook and MySpace groups with a number of YouTube videos have been created to celebrate and promote Sir Paul McCartney's historic visit to the Holy Land.

In January, Israel ambassador to Britain, Ron Prosor, handed a letter of apology to Julia Baird, sister of the late John Lennon, apologizing for a ban that Israel had placed on the Beatles back in 1965.

The story begins back 43 years ago when the Beatles were invited to perform in Israel with a concert which never took place. At the time Israel officials cited financial problems, but it was more than money that kept the Beatles away. Official permission required to withdraw precious foreign currency to pay the Beatles was denied because a ministerial committee feared the corrupting influence of four long-haired Englishmen.

The Israel committee report put it: "The Beatles have an insufficient artistic level and cannot add to the spiritual and cultural life of the youth in Israel."

Sounds like this Israel committee was smoking stronger stuff than anything the Beatles may have experienced with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. The Israel politicians believed that The Beatles would corrupt innocent Israeli youth. But was it really naive Israel politicians?

Criticism over the cancellation was directed at former Israel Education Ministry Director-General Yaakov Schneider, whose ministry was required to approve the performance of foreign bands in Israel.

In a page one story in the newspaper Haaretz, former Minister of Education and Environment Yossi Sarid stated that real cause of the cancellation was due to a rivalry between two promoters in Israel. One had been offered a Beatles concert in 1962, before their star had risen, by Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, and had turned them down. When a competitor booked them three years later, the first promoter used his government connections to keep the needed money from being disbursed.

"I can assure you that my father had never heard of the Beatles," Sarid said this week. "The promoter of course didn't come to the government and say, 'I don't like this other guy and I don't want him to get the money.' He said it is a lousy group and will corrupt the spirit of the wonderful, brilliant, pure Israel youngsters. He exploited their ignorance."

Fast forward to 2008 in Liverpool. Prosor, one of Israel's most senior and long-serving diplomats, was only seven years old when the "misunderstanding" between London and Jerusalem took place. But Prosor is a man who quite likely knows the lyrics to most Beatles tune and was not about to miss out on an opportunity to enhance the celebration of Israel's 60th birthday.

In a letter he wrote to the Beatles and their relatives: "There is no doubt that it was a great missed opportunity to prevent people like you, who shaped the minds of the generation, to come to Israel and perform."

The two surviving Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney, 65, and Ringo Starr, 67, were expected to join the anniversary celebrations in Israel in May but never showed.

But McCartney is no fool on the hill. He realizes the importance of Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East and may even see himself as one who may be able to bridge and come together with some peace through his music.

A huge outdoor concert in Tel Aviv on September 25 has been confirmed by Sir McCartney.

In his Website, Sir Paul McCartney announced his 'Friendship First' concert in Israel stating: "Israel will finally get the chance to experience a night of music and history Macca-style; the night they have been waiting decades for."

Sir Paul added: "I've heard so many great things about Tel Aviv and Israel, but hearing is one thing and experiencing it for yourself is another. We are planning to have a great time and a great evening. We can't wait to get out there and rock."

The Paul McCartney show, produced by promoter Dudu Zerzevsky, is expected to cost upward of $8 million to produce and will require a 100-person production team, extensive security, an extra-large stage, an expansive sound system, and two vegetarian kitchens at the show's location.

The producers of the single appearance by Paul McCartney in Israel expect to break even with a take of 10 million NIS on the event. These numbers kick in before any sponsorships take place. The businessman backing the event, Yakir Sha'ashua believes it will attract a capacity crowd to Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Park, which can accommodate up to 70,000 people.

The Israel business newspaper Globes states that the cost of bringing Beatle Paul McCartney to Israel will reach over NIS 30 million, half of which will go to McCartney and his promoters, while the other half will cover production costs. Price now stand at NIS 1,500 for a front row ticket and NIS 500 for just a seat on grass in the park. The promoters will have to sell 50,000 tickets only to cover the cost. This is the initial quantity which will go on sale at the Leean ticket offices.

According to British media, McCartney, has invited his girlfriend, 47-year-old New York Long Islander Nancy Shevell, to accompany him on the tour. The couple just finished a monthlong road trip across the famed Route 66 in the US, where they were spotted by shocked fans at campsites, gas stations and motels.

But the McCartney trip to Israel will be far from stealth.

Dozens of hate sites have also popped up by Palestinians, Iran, Syria, Hamas, Hizbollah, Islamic Jihad and all those who believe that Paul McCartney is an infidel.

Propagandist Eileen Fleming, who deserves a gold Olympic medal for hateful incitement on an Arab Web site, does not give peace a chance.
She states: "I wondered what Lennon might have said to his old mate in regards to making money from an apartheid state. Apartheid Israel continues to illegally occupy Palestinian and other Arab lands."

We in Israel ask what Apartheid?

Israel Arabs serve in the Knesset, they are equal citizens.
It is extreme Islam which truly practices apartheid with the clear separation of men from women, treating women as second class slaves, the murdering of homosexuals, labeling anyone who is not Islamic an infidel and deserves to be beheaded in the same manner as Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

In fact, Islamic apartheid transcends mere separation and ups the ante with the beheading of anyone who argues with the Satanic verses of the Koran. Can we also add Holocaust denial and clearly stating to "wipe Israel off the map" to the above?

Fleming continues: "Israel has been "committing horrific war crimes in the occupied Gaza Strip, where its illegal and immoral policy of collective punishment - through a hermetic military siege and an almost complete blockage of fuel, electric power, and even food and medicine - is pushing 1.5 million Palestinian civilians to the brink of starvation. Israel's wanton killings of civilians, demolition of homes and property, uprooting of more than a million fruit bearing trees, incessant theft of land and water resources, denial of freedom of movement to millions, dividing indigenous Palestinian's into Bantustans caged by walls, fences and hundreds of roadblocks, is not to be celebrated, but condemned and changed."

Can Fleming pass the pipe? Is that grass, hash or crack?
She is about as stoned as the committee which originally rejected the Beatles back in 1965!

Eileen, sorry to bust your bubble, but if you have not heard, Iran backed Hamas controls Gaza, not Israel. And as for starvation where are the Arab nations helping the citizens of Gaza? They don't need too as over 300 humanitarian UN and Red Cross trucks defy Hamas daily, bringing in food, medicine and fuel.

Gaza has food and water. They only thing that Gazans lack are freedom and democracy.

Eileen, do you think Iran will invite Sir Paul to play in Teheran? Nah, they will probably think that he will corrupt Iran youth.

David Horovitz, editor of the Jerusalem Post puts it right.

Horovitz states that: "after all these years of waiting for you, Sir Paul, what we're getting is just "a day in the life." David now places some Beatles lyrics into Israeli reality.

Any Time At All - Let me get the complaint in early: I know we banned you in 1965, but did it really have to take this long? "Any time at all." That's what you promised. "All you gotta do is call, and I'll be there." That was 43 years ago! Forty-three years to answer the phone?

Come Together - All credit to John Lennon for this astoundingly prescient critique of our internal divides, of the boundless intolerance we in the Jewish state exhibit for approaches to Judaism that differ from our own. I guess we're not "good looking" enough, because those opportunities for Jewish harmony really shouldn't be "so hard to see."

Drive My Car - In Israel? Are you crazy? Take my advice, Sir Paul: Let someone else drive it.

Eight Days A Week - You sing it, Israel lives it - six-day work week, two-day weekend. What we really need is nine days a week, so that the Orthodox among us get a proper weekend too.

Give Peace A Chance - Believe me, Paulie, we've tried. We said yes to two states in 1948, and we've been doing so ever since. Have you thought about singing this to the Iranians?

The Beatles were a pop and rock group from Liverpool, England which was formed in 1960.

The talented and creative group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals).

The Beatles are recognised for leading the 1960s musical "British Invasion" into the United States. Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and homegrown skiffle, the group explored new musical sounds ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. Their clothes, hair styles, and political statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.

After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon solo careers.

The Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, selling over a billion records internationally. In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one, earning more number one albums than any other group in English chart history. This commercial success was repeated in many other countries; their record company, EMI, estimated that by 1985 they had sold over one billion records worldwide.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America, The Beatles have sold more albums in the United States than any other band. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked The Beatles number one on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. According to Rolling Stone, The Beatles' innovative music and cultural impact helped define the 1960s, and their influence on pop culture is still very evident today.

The Hebrew name for the Beatles back in 1965 which was printed on the tickets is worth noting. The performers may have been universally known as the Beatles, but in Israel, then still trying to create a culture buffered from foreign words and influence, they were Hipushiot Haketzev, or the Beat Beetles (like the bugs). What will the tickets look like in 2008?

In the rapidly growing Facebook group - Israel Welcomes Beatles Sir James Paul McCartney To Tel Aviv - this writer comments: "The producers Dudu and Boaz Zerzevsky and yourself are very well aware that your visit represents a true, defining moment of history. As such, please be aware that Tel Aviv is not New York, London, Montreal, Rome or Paris. One out of four children live in poverty in Israel. The average wage is 1,500 USD per month.

The average Israeli cannot even dream of seeing nor hearing you live.
Please, as a respected humanitarian, produce two more concerts - one in Jerusalem and the other in Haifa. Donate a part of the proceeds to our hungry children.

Please lower the cost of the non-VIP tickets. For as of this moment, the non-VIP tickets ARE VIP tickets - well out of the reach of the Israeli public.

Paul - we wish you a safe, fun and comfortable trip to this magical Holy Land.
May your presence and music unite the many divisions for which t

Israel $10 Israel

Israel/Palestine $15.95 In Israel/Palestine, Reinhart traces the development of the Security Barrier and Israel’s new doctrine of "disengagement," launched in response to a looming Palestinian-majority population. Examining the official record of recent diplomacy, including United States–brokered accords and talks at Camp David, Oslo, and Taba, Reinhart explores the fundamental power imbalances between the negotiating parties and identifies Israel’s strategy of creating facts on the ground to define and complicate the terms of any future settlement. In this indispensable primer, Reinhart’s searing insight illuminates the current conflict and suggests a path toward change.

The Making of Modern Israel: 1948-1967 $26.06 On May 14, 1948 the State of Israel was declared, announced by David Ben-Gurion at a small gathering that assembled in the main hall of the Tel Aviv Art Museum. Within a time frame of only nineteen years, culminating in the Six-Day War, Israel fought three separate wars. But within its first four years, thanks to mass immigration, its population doubled. Furthermore, Israel had been confronted with acute economic difficulties, intra Jewish ethnic tensions, a problematic Arab minority and a secular-religious divide. Apart from defence issues, Israel faced a generally hostile or, at best, indifferent international community rendering it hard pressed in securing great power patronage or even official sympathy and understanding. Based on a wide range of sources, both in Hebrew and English, this book contains a judicious synthesis of the received literature to yield the general reader and student alike a reliable, balanced, and novel account of Israel's fateful and turbulent infancy.

The Religion of Israel: A Short History $16.95 "There are two lsraels. One Israel was theological, legendary, and mythological. This was (and is) the Israel of the Bible. The other Israel is the Israel which produced the Bible. How and why should we distinguish between the two? This is the subject of William J. Doorly's provocative new work.>Using literary analysis, the author presents the history of religious practices in chronological order, beginning with the emergence of Israel in the Highlands of Canaan (late 13th century B.C.E.) and continuing into the exile. Using the Hebrew Bible as a primary source, he identifies idealized concepts concerning Israel's past and corrects them for the purpose of obtaining a true historical perspective. Readers will come to understand that the foundations of both Judaism and Christianity emerged as a reaction to popular and official forms of Canaanite religious practice which have passed away.>Comprehensive in scope, accessible in style as well as informative and valuable to those without a knowledge of Hebrew, this outstanding work will appeal to general readers, Bible scholars, students and religious professionals, who will find that it helps them read the Hebrew Bible more effectively and intelligently."

Declaration of Independence (Israel) $117.9 The Israeli Declaration of Independence, made on 14 May 1948 (5 Iyar, 5708), the day the British Mandate expired, was the official announcement that the new Jewish state named the State of Israel had been formally established in parts of what was known as the British Mandate of Palestine and on land where, in antiquity, the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah had once been.

Identity Discourse in Israel $67.97 News briefings, media outlets, and speeches provide the world with public documentation that relates an action to its validation. A closer look at media and official discourse provides a mechanism of defining themes and justifications. This is especially revealing in times of violence, such as with Israeli and Palestinian attacks during Operation Cast Lead in Winter 2009. Attacks on both sides come in the wake of resonating criticism, especially concerning a lack of defense for Palestinians. Through the study of official statements by former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Yediot Ahronot and Haaretz newspaper articles, this book explores how Israeli media and official discourse is utilized to formulate respective identities in this critical time period. The analysis of discourse revealed that media and official discourse create negative identity markers for Palestinians, positive identity markers for Israelis, and prevent Israel from developing a discourse of responsibility in the conflict situation.

Palestinians in Israel (Paperback) $49.04 Palestinians in Israel considers a key issue ignored by the official "peace process" and most mainstream commentators: that of the growing Palestinian minority within Israel itself. What the Israeli right-wing calls "the demographic problem," Ben White identifies as "the democratic problem," which goes to the heart of the conflict. Israel defines itself not as a state of its citizens, but as a Jewish state, despite the substantial and increasing Palestinian population. White demonstrates how the consistent emphasis on privileging one ethno-religious group over another cannot be seen as compatible with democratic values and that, unless addressed, will undermine any attempts to find a lasting peace. Individual case studies are used to complement this deeply informed study into the great, unspoken contradiction of Israeli democracy. It is a pioneering contribution which will spark debate among all those concerned with a resolution to the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Economic and Political Boycotts of Israel $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Boycotts of Israel are economic and political cultural campaigns or actions that seek a selective or total cutting of ties with the State of Israel. Such campaigns are employed by those who challenge the legitimacy of Israels policies or actions towards the Palestinians over the course of the ArabIsraeli and IsraeliPalestinian conflict, oppose Israeli territorial claims in the West Bank or Jerusalem or even oppose Israels right to exist. Arab boycotts of Zionist institutions and Jewish businesses began before Israels founding as a state. An official boycott was adopted by the Arab League almost immediately after the formation of the state of Israel in 1948, but is not fully implemented in practice. Similar boycotts have been proposed outside the Arab world and the Muslim world. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Arab League Boycott of Israel $108.33 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Arab League boycott of Israel is a systematic effort by Arab League member states to isolate Israel economically in support of the Palestinians to prevent Arab states and discourage nonArabs from providing support to Israel and adding to Israels economic and military strength. Historically, the boycott was also designed to deter Jewish immigration to the region. While smallscale Arab boycotts of Zionist institutions and Jewish businesses began before Israels founding as a modern state, an official organized boycott was only adopted by the Arab League after the 1948 ArabIsraeli War. The implementation of the boycott has varied over time among member states with a number of member states of the Arab League no longer enforcing the boycott.

Women in Israel (Paperback) $65.86 At the theoretical level, this book provides a fresh gender analysis of citizenship in Israel by shedding a new light onto the settler colonial regime of the state of Israel. The book challenges most existing theorization of Israeli citizenship which is ethnic-based. It also challenges the Israeli `critical` social scientists that accept the characterization of Zionism as a settler colonial polity but only for two periods: pre-1948 Zionism and after 1967 occupation of the Palestinian Territories, but reject the same framework in describing "Israel proper." Using "settler colonialism" as a continuous frame and process, the book hopes to open up a wider space capable of providing a more comprehensive and inclusive analysis. Finally, through a comparative study of women`s varying lived conditions, historically and contemporarily, the book also contributes to a more holistic gender analysis in the Middle East with a strong articulation of gender, class, race, and ethnicity. Methodologically, the book employs qualitative analyses, including historical and contemporary comparative approach to illuminate the nature of the similarities and differences, or rather differentiation between the three major groups of women (Ashkenazi Jews, Mizrahi Jews and Palestinian Arabs) with a focus on the two most marginalized group: Palestinian and Mizrahi women. It also explains the rationale behind their existing status. This methodology will be grounded in feminist, anti-racist and anti-colonialist methodology. The book also adopts quantitative analysis, utilizing official statistics, and "counter-official" critical (NGO) and other  data to support its main arguments. Methodological challenges of using Israeli official data will also be discussed in the book.

The Biography of Ancient Israel $24.95 The nation--particularly in Exodus and Numbers--is not an abstract concept but rather a grand character whose history is fleshed out with remarkable literary power. In her innovative exploration of national imagination in the Bible, Pardes highlights the textual manifestations of the metaphor, the many anthropomorphisms by which a collective character named "Israel" springs to life. She explores the representation of communal motives, hidden desires, collective anxieties, the drama and suspense embedded in each phase of the nation's life: from birth in exile, to suckling in the wilderness, to a long process of maturation that has no definite end. In the Bible, Pardes suggests, history and literature go hand in hand more explicitly than in modern historiography, which is why the Bible serves as a paradigmatic case for examining the narrative base of national constructions. Pardes calls for a consideration of the Bible's penetrating renditions of national ambivalence. She reads the rebellious conduct of the nation against the grain, probing the murmurings of the people, foregrounding their critique of the official line. The Bible does not provide a homogeneous account of nation formation, according to Pardes, but rather reveals points of tension between different perceptions of the nation's history and destiny. This fresh and beautifully rendered portrayal of the history of ancient Israel will be of vital interest to anyone interested in the Bible, in the interrelations of literature and history, in nationhood, in feminist thought, and in psychoanalysis.

Europe's Alliance with Israel: Aiding the Occupation $30.16 In carefully crafted official statements, the European Union presents itself as an honest broker in the Middle East. In reality, however, the EU's 27 governments have been engaged in a long process of accommodating Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Journalist David Cronin interrogates the relationship and its outcomes. A recent agreement for "more intense, more fruitful, more influential co-operation" between the EU and Israel has meant that Israel has become a member state of the Union in all but name. Cronin shows that rather than using this relationship to encourage Israeli restraint, the EU has legitimized actions such as the ill-treatment of prisoners and the Gaza invasion. Concluding his revealing and shocking account, Cronin calls for a continuation and deepening of international activism and protest to halt the EU's slide into complicity.
