Madonna posted an Instagram photo of a Palestinian man and a Hasidic Jewish man about to kiss.
The photo posted Sunday, snapped by Israeli photographer Ziv Sade, shows a Jewish man with side curls and wearing a large white knitted kippah of the Breslover Hasidic movement and an Arab man wearing a traditional Arab keffiyeh. Their eyes are closed, noses nearly touching as they lean in for a kiss.
The photo’s caption reads “This image is . ❤#rebelhearts,” which is the title of her new album.
Among the responses on Instagram: “I see two men one Muslim perhaps and one Jewish together sharing a moment of peace. Can’t we just all get along without discussing religious beliefs?” and “I’m arab, and I found this great! People have the right to be whoever they want to be and be who they really are …” and “If this pic portraying love between two human beings is ‘causing a commotion’ … YOU PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS. GET A LIFE!!! IT’S LOVE, IT’S HUMAN.”
