How Madonna’s awkward posts about Israel & her Celebration Tour tie into Joel Kim Booster’s take on gay culture
Madonna is returning to the stage in just two days with the start of her highly anticipated Celebration Tour. But maybe the Queen of Pop should think twice about how she promotes her big show?Earlier this week, the pop legend shared a disturbing image on Instagram of brutalized corpses in Israel, along with a poignant message about the violence in the region.
Hamas attacked Israel Friday night, rampaging through numerous villages and a music festival. Israeli authorities estimate the terrorist group took 100-150 hostages as well, including elderly people, children, and even babies.
Israel countered by launching airstrikes into Gaza, which Hamas controls. Palestinian authorities say at least 1,055 people have been killed and another 5,184 have been injured in the area as a result.In Israel, at least 1,200 people have died and more than 2,900 others have suffered injuries.

So it’s perfectly understandable why she felt the need to express herself (no pun intended) about it.But she also wants to advertise her big tour, which is where the situation gets, well, kinda awkward.On Thursday, Madonna followed up her disturbing Israel post with a blurry promotional photo for her Celebration Tour, which kicks off in London in 48 hours.A post shared by Madonna (@madonna)And a couple of days before her Israel post, she shared a sexy bustier selfie.
