| Faked Anis: |
Bonjour, Sir faked Paul. |
| Faked Paul McCartney: |
And why bonjour? |
| Faked Anis: |
I was thinking of "All you Need is Love" with this French beginning. |
| FPMC: |
That's a faked John song. |
| Faked Anis: |
Faked George Martin also had a hand in it, right? |
| FPMC: |
Well, yes. |
| Faked Anis: |
It's an international song. |
| FPMC: |
And what do you want to tell me? |
| Faked Anis: |
Dunno ... You'll play in Israel this month. |
| FPMC: |
Of course I will. In Tel Aviv. |
| Faked Anis: |
Despite everything. |
| FPMC: |
Despite what? |
| Faked Anis: |
The killings, the occupation, the wall, the theft. |
| FPMC: |
You're making that up. |
| Faked Anis: |
Not really, no. |
| FPMC: |
Me and the faked band are really looking forward to this one. |
| Faked Anis: |
Oh yeah? |
| FPMC: |
It’s the first time I have ever been to Israel. |
| Faked Anis: |
I see. |
| FPMC: |
I am going to be interested as a tourist. |
| Faked Anis: |
A tourist, don't make me laugh. |
| FPMC: |
What's wrong with that? |
| Faked Anis: |
Will you tour Guantanamo next and play for the wardens? |
| FPMC: |
What nonsense. |
| Faked Anis: |
Did you play in South Africa back then, too? |
| FPMC: |
Hey, music can help people to just calm them down. |
| Faked Anis: |
Or they use you as a PR donkey. |
| FPMC: |
Why are you being so hostile? |
| Faked Anis: |
Me? I'm not being hostile, I'm being sarcastic. |
| FPMC: |
I always cite a faked John song: "Give Peace A Chance". |
| Faked Anis: |
Do you think faked John would play in Israel right now? |
| FPMC: |
Well, I, uuh, sure! |
| Faked Anis: |
I don't believe you. |
| FPMC: |
I have many friends who support Israel. |
| Faked Anis: |
Support Israel? Are you aware of what you're saying? |
| FPMC: |
I'm a tourist. |
| Faked Anis: |
I wonder what is behind all this. |
| FPMC: |
The Beatles had a pretty positive influence on the world. |
| Faked Anis: |
Thanks for reminding me. |
| FPMC: |
Only regimes that wanted to control their peoples were afraid of us. |
| Faked Anis: |
That's why Israel banned you in 1965. |
| FPMC: |
It was a bit insulting, the thought we could corrupt the youth. |
| Faked Anis: |
Now we're getting closer to the point. |
| FPMC: |
I've heard so many great things about Tel Aviv and Israel. |
| Faked Anis: |
Oh yeah? You probably read Ilan Pappe's "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine". |
| FPMC: |
No. I just love people, and singing, and love. |
| Faked Anis: |
And tourism. |
| FPMC: |
Yeah! |
| Faked Anis: |
But people told you what Israel does? |
| FPMC: |
I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. |
| Faked Anis: |
And? |
| FPMC: |
I refused. I do what I think. |
| Faked Anis: |
Oh, you also think. |
| FPMC: |
Of course. Thinking is so important. |
| Faked Anis: |
150 dollars for standing room, 400 near the stage ... |
| FPMC: |
Right. |
| Faked Anis: |
You feel flattered because Israel invited you. |
| FPMC: |
They are a great people. |
| Faked Anis: |
Yeah, thinking is so important. |
| FPMC: |
You know what Israel's faked Ambassador to London Ron Prosor told me? |
| Faked Anis: |
What? |
| FPMC: |
He said it was a great missed opportunity to prevent people like us, who shaped the minds of the generation, to come to Israel and perform. |
| Faked Anis: |
Oh! |
| FPMC: |
See? They are good. |
| Faked Anis: |
What is your tour called, by the way? |
| FPMC: |
Friendship first! |
| Faked Anis: |
And what is second? |
| FPMC: |
You really don't understand. |
| Faked Anis: |
If you went on the next Free Gaza boat like faked Joe Fallisi, that would be something! |
| FPMC: |
Who is faked Joe Fallisi? |
| Faked Anis: |
An Italian opera tenor. He sings for Palestine. |
| FPMC: |
What is this Palestine thing you are always talking about? |
| Faked Anis: |
It's the land of the native population. |
| FPMC: |
I won't play for them. |
| Faked Anis: |
Why not? |
| FPMC: |
I don't know them. |
| Faked Anis: |
Friendship and love, eh? |
| FPMC: |
Israel banned me and now they honour me. |
| Faked Anis: |
I thought you were a tourist? |
| FPMC: |
Well, kind of. |
| Faked Anis: |
I really loved to listen to your music. |
| FPMC: |
See. |
| Faked Anis: |
There still is faked John. I've always liked him more, anyway. |
| FPMC: |
I am sure he would play with me in Tel Aviv. |
| Faked Anis: |
No, I don't think so. He was more aware. |
| FPMC: |
He was for love, like me. |
| Faked Anis: |
If you were for love you would be different. |
| FPMC: |
Love is so important, you know. |
