The non-Jewish actor and the
father of actress Angelina Jolie is a proud friend of Israel and of the
Jewish people. Voight, who has acted in dozens of movies and TV
productions, pitched his voice
clearly into the fray following the latest Gaza war and ensuing
American outbreaks of anti-Semitism, unapologetically defending Israel
and Jews.
“What’s wrong with everyone?” says Voight in the monologue in which he also criticizes liberals. “Can’t
you see this horror – attacking Jews?…The Jews have been attacked for
centuries… How dare you attack [them] … in our own streets, in Beverly
hills? …We as a nation will stand with Israel…”
Hollywood has been known for anti-Israel views.
So this will come as good news to many. Voight began his acting career
in the 1960s. He is also the father of celebrity movie star Angelina
Jolie.
