Hmm, Paul seems to be on the wrong side of the fence :(

Would have been much better to read that he was performing for the palestinians.

Liam, Bedfordshire, UK

I think if they didn't threaten Paul and the band, then I would be worry. So, with the warning to Paul is only to scare him and I think it will be OK. Have a great time Paul and Brian.
They re the best.

yeah, just chill out everyone. stop labelling people & quit threatening anyone that seems to represent some ideology or wave of some sort. just enjoy Mac's music fusion -he 's one of the few remaining legends and is worthwhile listening to....irrespective of your class, gender, religious vocation...

Samuel Fortis, Athina,

This has nothing to do with religion. It is apparent that human brains, in a relatively small percentage of people, are wired to tell everyone else what is write and wrong. It is time for the rest of us to stop being afraid of bullies. Thank God for Sir Paul! I wish I could be at the concert!

The world really should ban religion. Too much blood has been spent in support of a myth. Too much oppression and prejudice has been allowed in order to spread "god's word" (which is supposed to be one of peace and love). Rock on Paul.

Michael, Austin, USA

Paul McCartney is a legend and should be treated like one, but on the other hand, my hero John Lennon got shot and he got shot for what he believed in and also trying the world a better place. But in this case Paul is just entertaining Israil and nothing wrong in that. Good luck Paul and rock them

Graeme Drayton, Scunthorpe, United Kingdom

the extreme muslims and jews are very similar, makes you think why they dont get along

C. Kroustis, London, UK

These extremist dogma merchants cannot cope with a reasonable and democratic point of view. The problem for them is that sensible behaviour makes their rant and rhetoric look impractical and ridiculous.

Colin, Carmarthen, United Kingdom

Sir Paul only ever spreads peace, love and magic anywhere he goes, its an outstandig honour for Tel Aviv, wish I could go to the concert to enjoy His Genius

fond wishes Sir Paul rock on xx

Wow. I can't recall such a dramatic concert held here ever since Roger Waters one. funny to see to the extremist threats from both sides. I think its just hilarious. I am sure it will be a great show. good luck Mccal!

Roy, Jerusalem, Israel

I think its time every society started to curb the excesses of Religionists. Thier beliefs were born in the stone age. Allowing them influence and a voice in the modern world is foolishness. They need to be bridled and confined to their mosques, synagogues and churches, their speech monitored.

Scott Benowitz, Rye, New York, U.S.A.

What on earth is he playing this gig for?
Seems like provocation at the wrong time. With the UN convening in NY and all eyes on international affairs, it's a bad call from Mac.

giles Clarke, NY, US

Sound like a bunch of idiots on both sides, the beatles? come on, get real.

Greg Anderstein, Atlantic City, USA

Yet again religion plays a part in empowering others to dictate how we should live out lives.

My optimisim leads me to believe that it's getting better, its getting better all the time! (It coudnt get much worse!).

Go Sir Paul!

Marc, Antrim, N Ireland.

Let's not forget that this was the man who once said 'I don't want to be a little Jewish shopkeeper' forgetting that it was a Jew who made him what he is.

Jay, London,

"Hey Jude , don't make it bad...take a sad song and make it better"...
you've taught most of the world a lot Paul.
Go teach the rest

NickyP, Altrincham, England

It's always the radicals who take it upon themselves to dictate what is right and wrong. Down with far right extremists preaching in the name of Judaism and down with radical Islamists perverting the name of their people.

Ian, Barcelona, Spain

Everywhere he goes, whackjobs attempt to use McCartney to forward their lunatic agenda. This summer, he performed for Quebec City's 400th birthday, and separatists complained because he was singing in English...
Both the Islamofascists and the Jewish right-wing can stay home if they don't like it.

DZ, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Leave the guy alone. seems like the worlds gone crazy. everyone threatening everyone. " If you don't do what we want or say we are going ruin your day or blow you up" then expecting to get there way like a big cry baby. Get a life and try some love, lighten your heart.

john, Missouri,

Good on you Macca - Rock Tel Aviv -great music is enlightment ! Beatles legacy alive and still inspirational
