Madonna kicked off her “MDNA” world tour on Thursday by pointing a rifle (first in silhouette and then) at the audience in Israel, a country plagued by terrorist violence.

Following that shocking start, Madonna, who studies Kabbalah, segued into “Girls Gone Wild,” surrounded by back-up dancers dressed as monks.
Despite the violent imagery of the beginning of her show, the singer pleaded for peace in the region, saying, “All the conflicts that occur here and have been occurring for a thousand years, they have to stop.”
“We all bleed the same color,” she added.
Madonna went on to say, “No matter how many percentages of land we give back, no matter how many talks, no matter how many wars, if we don’t treat every human being with dignity and respect, we will never have peace.”
