Natalie Portman Denounced By Israeli Government Over Decision Not to Attend Awards
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 4/20/2018 | David Caspi , Alex Ritman

Posted on 04/20/2018 6:59:57 AM PDT by WisconsinRep

The move, believed to be in response to Israel's recent deadly shooting of Palestinian protestors, has been praised by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

Israel's Minister of Culture and Sport Miri Regev has denounced Natalie Portman's decision to decline an award in her homeland of Israel over politics.

"I was saddened to hear that Natalie Portman has fallen as a ripe fruit in the hands of BDS supporters," stated Regev associating her act with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.

"Natalie, a Jewish actress who was born in Israel now joins those who refers to the success and wonder of the rebirth of Israel as 'A Tale of Darkness and Darkness'."

“Natalie Portman filmography”

I’ve just seen bits and pieces from “Mars Attack”, nothing that means anything re:her.
I don’t keep up much with contemporary celebrities.

I’ve seen only one of her movies, “Where the Heart Is”. That film is what came to mind when I was in WalMart and suddenly had to hustle to the hospital because baby #4 decided to kick things into high gear.

Best actress EVER! Like all the rest, STFU about politics!

We don’t care about your politics. Shut up and act.

Who chose you to speak for “all real Americans!”?

You related to Pat Buchanan?

Pat Buchanan, I would be honored to claim as a relation.

Self-appointed. But heard no real complaints.

Answered in opposite order.

This is very sad, that Portman has fallen victim to the fruitcake siren call of those who hate Jews and Israel. I have never been a fan of hers anyway, but this seals the deal.

“Screw off Netanyahoo, watch your mouth when your speaking to an American.
If you can’t deal with the trouble you create, without coming cap-in-hand to the US maybe you should examine your own behavior.”

You should get a foul-smelling reward. Your support for Kapo Portman (i.e. traitor to her own kind) is one of the dumbest rants I have read on FR in many years. You are really special. Congrats!

Poster Charley Pride says he is the self-appointed evaluator to decide who is “a real American”.

Kiss my ***, Charley,

Her own kind are Americans, sir.

But thank you for illustrating where your loyalties lie. Funny, since you claim to be Ohioan.
Guess that makes you the ‘traitor to your own kind’

Natalie Hershlag is better known by her stage name Natalie Portman, and the actress carries dual citizenship with two countries-America and Israel.

Dual Citizenship is such a dumb concept.

But as a US citizen she is subject to the IRS, whose reach is global.

With the amount of taxes she pays (as a happy SJ Warrior, no doubt) I’ll stand for her right as an American to associate with whom she wants and go where she pleases.

Being against Israel puts you in line with many of the antisemitic lunatics on the left. In fact, why in the hell are you supporting a leftwing nutjob like Portman. We can see where your loyalties lie. Go to DU. You will make more friends there.

I support the right of any citizen of the United States to tell foreign race pimps to screw off.

If whatever country your ancestors left (were kicked out of) wanted you to return (doubtful) for a propoganda photo-op, I’d even support you, ohioman if you refused.

1. That's not what leftists do.
2. Portman has a right to show herself to be a deluded sell out. The wisdom of doing so is another story.

Portman wasn't kicked out of Israel. Put down the bong

Portman is smart. Wise, not so much.
