She said: 'I chose to start my world tour in Israel for a very
specific and important reason.
'You can't be a fan of mine and not want peace
in the world, we all bleed the same colour,' she said as the crowd cheered
wildly.
'If we can all rise above our egos and our titles and the names of our countries and our religions, and treat everyone around us with dignity and respect, then we are on the road to peace.
Madonna gave her fans an eyeful in the red and white outfit
She continued 'If there is
peace here in the Middle East, there can be peace in the whole
world.'
Madonna reportedly donated 580 tickets to her show to members of both the Israeli and Palestinian peace camps, but not everyone accepted the generous gift.
The concert kicked off with guts and guns being shown on the big screen inter-cut with Catholic imagery before the star burst on stage.

With church
bells ringing and bare chested monks waltzing in front of a huge red cross -
this was the officially the church of Madonna.
The mix of a melody with a Hebrew prayer built up the anticipation as Madge
emerged on stage in a confessional, breaking through its glass window using a
rifle, which she then aimed at the audience.
She wore a skin-tight black outfit to sing her first song Girl Gone Wild.
Madonna was then joined onstage by her 11-year-old son Rocco, who followed in his mother's footsteps when it came to outfit changes.
The youngster wore an all black outfit with bright red braces as he danced with Madonna and then changed into a blue shiny vest and large headphones as he showed off his moves centre stage.

The fans enjoyed the grand opening and one eager person tweeted: 'Bow To
The Queen Madonna!! #MDNA TEL AVIV!” Bow To The Queen Madonna.'
With guns featuring heavily in the next two songs, Revolver, and Gang Bang,
the dancers and the Material Girl singer repeatedly fired guns into the
audience.
After the dark introduction the tone switches up as Madge whips off her dark clothing to change into a cheerleader outfit with her iconic cone shaped bra making its first appearance as she performs vogue.

Another follower said on Twitter: 'The true and only Queen Madonna ruled Tel Aviv, amazing show!'
That's my boy! Madonna was joined onstage by her 11-year-old son Rocco whose father is director Guy Ritchie

The publication went on to say that the residents of northern Galilee and
Tiberius were 'shaken and disgusted' after realising that Madonna intended to
visit the holy cities in northern Israel.
The singer, who is a well-known follower of Kabbalah, was not referred to
by name in the article, but was instead call the 'famous gentile
singer.'
Madonna is also said to be buying an apartment in the district of Safed which has caused further 'pain and rage within the god-fearing community.'
The journal described the star's intentions as a 'Kabbalah sponsored gimmick,' and added that 'the non-Jews abuse their faith in a ridiculous cult, turning the graves of the righteous into a trendy and touristy place.'
