Ten OVI youth leaders and executive staff met today with Sir Paul McCartney in Tel Aviv. In support of the movement’s mission – to empower ordinary Israelis and Palestinians to push for peace and a two state solution – McCartney said he would wear a OneVoice pin on his lapel during his concert later this evening.
At the meeting with executive staff from OneVoice Israel and ten youth leaders, McCartney said, "My father told me that regular people don't like wars and don't want conflict. I'm not a politician – I just want to bring a message of peace. In every place I perform I see that people want the same thing."
Yesterday McCartney also made a trip to the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, bringing his message of peace to Palestine as well.
Irit Admoni Perlman, Chairwoman of OneVoice in Israel, said after the meeting today, "We are excited to meet Paul McCartney, both because of our admiration for him as an artist, and his honest work in advancing and disseminating the values of peace throughout the world. He helps us all retain our hope for better, more peaceful lives."
WOW this was great! Paul McCartney is my idol! I wish there was a similar event in the USA!:)
Bringing messages of peace is a worthy deed.
