This month, Israel’s hasbaristas sprinkled the net with April Fools droppings, attempting to troll BDS human rights activists up the garden path. Despite the Isaeli propaganderists’ desperate efforts, noone was deceived.
The first trick involved singer Adele. Will she be amused to discover she has been used to promote a hoax?
Diva City! Grammy Award winner Adele confirms a Tel Aviv concert – with Barbra Streisand!
Fresh from her recent Oscar success, British singer Adele has confirmed a concert in Tel Aviv this June! And not any old concert – she’ll also be sharing the stage with living legend Barbra Streisand!
Multiple Grammy Award winner Adele will be performing in Tel Aviv on June 18, two days before Barbra Streisand’s concert in Israel. But thanks to some amazing negotiations from renowned producer Shuki Weissermeister, Barbra will be joining the younger diva on stage for at least THREE songs!
Adele has revealed that her proudest moment came recently, when she recorded the theme song for the new Bond movie Skyfall, but this visit to Israel, and especially her scheduled duet with the legendary Barbra Streisand, might just top the lot!
Proud of her North London roots, and especially her love of Tottenham Hotspur (not sure we can forgive her for this…), Adele also has some Jewish ancestry that she keeps to herself, but maybe this visit to the Holy Land will bring out the head coverings and long skirts in her, who knows…
No news of tickets or prices, but as soon as we get anything, we’ll post it here.
In the meantime, here she is…

Oh, and check your calendars. We think you’ve been had. 🙂
In another shameless fabrication, Cafe Mouse Israel concocted a false story that Pearl Jam will play Israel.
Fake quotes from the band are made within the article. Pearl Jam’s management was contacted, and they replied with “Sorry, Pearl Jam does not have a Tel Aviv show scheduled.”
