Stuff 'n' Nonsense. One does not measure ties to Israel in terms of ferry hops and kilometre limits.

"If there is a will, there is a way."
It's not a question of "ties to Israel". It has to be the practicalities, as Hydriot says. They have, what, 3 or 4 very large wagons and maybe a couple of tour buses to move by land/sea. If you have any practical suggestions for how this can be achieved in a time frame which fits in with available venues and other tour commitments I'm sure management would like to hear them.

I will emphasize once more: "If there is a will. There is a way."

I can only infer the significance of the timing of the two Southern Califonia concert dates.
Tuesday, April 7 was San Diego. The next concert date will be Friday, April 10 in Los Angeles.
There are two intervening non-concert dates.
LC lives in Los Angeles. Lorca, Adam and family live in LA.
April 8 was the first night of Passover and the first Seder.
Tonight, April 9 is the second Passover Seder.
At the conclusion of the Passover Seder, the words "Next Year in Jerusalem" are recited. It is a prayer that Jews have been reciting for 2000 years because we must never forget our exile.

May I repeat, "If there is a will. There is a way".

You just have made thousands of people delighted. A wonderful Passover gift for us.

I would like to congratulate all the fans with being patient and hopeful.

Wonderful news for you all. Congratulations!

Don't listen to people like me and Hydriot - fortunately we know nothing!
