The star was in a more reflective mood, however, when he compared the barrier Israel is building in and around the West Bank to the Berlin war.
"I went through the Berlin Wall in the years when it was still standing and it was so symbolic," he said after passing through the barrier to get between Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
"It's sad to think people can be physically divided like that. It's not good for anyone."
Paul, that wall in Berlin was erected to keep Germans and other oppressed peoples in.
Our barrier is to keep the barbarians out - but we still have this problem with Qassams and mortars and Grads.
Can you help stop those?

A radical Muslim preacher in Lebanon also called on McCartney to cancel the show.
