Mccartneys Family Fear Israeli Trip Message Board and Comments

Paul is like John, he loves too much to bring others peace and happiness, than be threatened by anyone. His music and his fans are his life and no one will take that away....anubhavananda dasa

He is to be applauded. When we start letting bullies and phonies terrorize us and force us to change our lives to do what they want, we may as well cease to exist. Fortunately (unfortunate that it's necessary), Israel is so used to threats and attacks, they have perfected the art of Security for individuals like Paul McCartney. Oh, and BTW, it's a myth that Israel thought the Beatles would corrupt it's young people. Actually, the planned visit fell through becuase of a dispute between two Concert Promoters over who would bring them in. A stupid business disagreement.

I know that if I were him I'd have a very hard time going along with this type of terrorist bullying, and I would not want to cancel my trip because of it. I don't think it's as much a matter of ego vs. love as the idea of standing up to tyrannical intimidation.

This is just another sad example of an individual putting ego before Love. Of course Paul should not go to Israel. His "father know's best" attitude is tragic. How much attention does one man need? He has the love of five beautiful children. Perhaps he could put their needs first this time.

Please don't go to Israel, Sir Paul, but if you do, you are in my prayers asking God to be with you and to keep and bring you home safely. Gwyn Kirby
