All he is saying (pause) is give peace a chance...

Paul McCartney leaves his hotel in Tel Aviv on Thursday.

The former Beatle flashed a peace sign—not to end the enduring crisis between the Palestinians and the Israelis in the Middle East, but to get this broad off his back. (Kidding.)

Incidentally, this was allegedly the first time Mr. McCartney was allowed back into the region since 1965 (though the Israeli government has been trying to play it off, claiming the Beatles have been welcome that entire time). The trip itself was also pretty sketchy because of threats of violence from extremists. But good 'ol Paul went anyway.

Hey, at this age, what does he have to lose, really?

He sang Give Peace a Chance and dedicated it to John Lennon. How unbelievably touching.

*tear forming*
