Report: Jane Fonda joins boycott of Toronto film festival over homage to Israel
Ha'aretz ^ | 15:03 05/09/2009

Posted on 09/06/2009 2:37:10 PM PDT by Cinnamon Girl

Jane Fonda, Danny Glover and Eve Ensler have joined the growing list of artists who are boycotting the Toronto film festival over a program honoring Tel Aviv's 100th anniversary, gossip blogger Perez Hilton reported on Friday.

The three have added their names to a letter aimed at festival officials claiming that Tel Aviv was built on violence, ignoring the "suffering of thousands of former residents and descendants," Hilton reported.

Several Israeli films are being screened at the festival's new City to City event, which this year celebrates Tel Aviv's centennial.

Culture critic Naomi Klein and director John Greyson are among those who had already announced their protest over the homage to Tel Aviv.

Two-time Oscar winner Rabbi Marvin Hier, who founded the Simon Wiesenthal Center, called the boycott "an attack on the heart and soul of Israel."

"People who support letters like this are people who do not support a two-state solution," he was quoted as saying on Hilton's blog.

Jane Fonda, Danny Glover and Eve Ensler, looking back in historical prespective they are all children of Hitler and Stalin and have always been anti-American, helping the enemies of American Freedom kill Americans and others.

I can tell you this. Many Christians believe that hatred of the Jewish people is a certain sign of the spirit of the antichrist in the world. Many Churches are ready to help the nation of Israel and all Jews everywhere in any way we can.

I pray that in this country it won't get so bad that we will have to hide Jews, but are ready to...

And in the meantime we will pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

That’s a fun idea! Urinal cakes with the faces of Lefties on them! :o)

Cakes each with the face of one of them. I’d truly enjoy pissing in the face of Nancy Pelosi, Micheal Moore, Howard Dean, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Shultz Wasserman, FeinGold, Al Gore...

You know, back in the Bad Old Days (when Israel was considered a liberal/left wing cause in the United States) Hanoi Jane and then hubby Tom Hayden actually entertained Israeli troops during the 1982 Lebanon war and issued a press release on why they supported Israel in Lebanon but not the US in Vietnam (such as Lebanon actually being on Israel's border and Israel being physically shelled from there).

Looks like only a few Jewish lefties will be all that's left of the True Believers (in Israel as a "radical" cause) soon, if that isn't already the case.

It took Perez Hilton to break this story. And he’s being cited in Haaretz. The world has indeed changed.

I dare that moron Fonda to spend even a single day in the Isreali town of Sderot, one of the main targets of the over 8000 rockets fired from Gaza into Israel civilan areas. Do it Fonda, you brain dead coward.

Hmm. Good grief. I guess, at least Madonna’s not busy protesting the next manufactured cause celebre. Anywhere the issue is against America or Israel, you’ll be sure to find her rallying the activists. The 70’s are over, Jane.

Total lies from idiots and historical ignoramuses. Tel Aviv was a wasteland before the Jews came and settled it. there were no Arab "descendants" of that desolate place before the Jews built huts, then homes then a village, then a city...

Tel Aviv 1909 (below: Jews drawing up plots of land)...

Tel Aviv 2009...

Jane Fonda converted to Christianity after the witness of her chauffeur, (if I remember correctly.)

It is written in Genesis that G-d made this promise to Abraham:

“Those who blesseth [the Jews] I shall also bless. But whosoever curseth [the Jews], him shall I surely curse!”

Look at the Arab Muslim world, just for starters.

America’s support for Israel has returned blessings upon this our land, I firmly believe.

Many use the name of Christ in vain. How can a Christian claim Christ and also turn against Israel?

But...but...I thought we were supposed to celebrate diversity and understanding and...and...support the artist’s sense of self-expression. Isn’t that what the commielibs say everytime *conservatives* get upset with “art”?

Ugh. Good old Jane. Always there for the beleaguered. *eyeroll* I remember Jane protesting the Viet Nam war in the 70’s, I was a kid and my mom would be so absolutely irritated that she was filmed being a traitor and praised for it. I still won’t watch her movies.
