She’s finding out what happens if you don’t march lockstep with the Marxists. Won’t change the NY Jews’ votes, but may change her’s.

I don’t want to be overly optimistic but there might be more going on in the Hollywood Left than it appears.
Something is clearly going on with ThunderNose retiring.
See? Now that’s bravery!
All these entertainers love to talk about how brave they are for supporting gay rights and homosexual marriage and AIDS research and abortion and gun control and yada yada yada. That’s not bravery! Everyone they work with holds exactly the same opinion! How brave is it to take a position which all the most powerful people in Hollywood agree with? It isn’t! That’s the easiest, most spineless and gutless thing one can do.
Star- “Oh, I’m wearing this ribbon today to show support for gay marriage. I really feel we should all try to be more tolerant of people’s differences. Love is Love, you know.”
Host- “Wow, that’s so brave of you! You’re such a radical non-conformist!”
B- please....
But, this? Saying you support Israel instead of the Palestinians? In Hollywood? That takes balls in her line of work. She’s going to pay for this. Critics who loved her before will start panning her performances from now on. Entertainment Tonight will no longer give her story time unless it’s to mention some embarrassing rumor or breakup. She actually risks being blackballed by her industry.
[She’s still a moron for voting for Obama but this is promising.]
Ms. Johansson may be taking her first, tentative baby steps towards becoming a Conservative.
She has openly supported Liberals. She campaigned for Obama. She shilled for his health care law. She has always been there to lend a celebrity face to Liberal causes.
And THIS is the thanks she gets. Because the driving Leftist hatred of Israel outweighs even their urge to create Socialist Utopia here at home.
Congrats to a Daughter of Israel who made the right choice.
And here’s hoping it is the beginning of an education and growth process.
To be fair she isnt supporting Israel per se..but rather she sees the fallacy and hypocracy in boycotting businesses that employs Palistinian. She is being mugged though by the left so hopefully she sees reality for what it is.
There are still people with courage in America. And when they show it, you can well bet that there are people on Free Republic who will try to pick it apart.
Good for her! It’s about time someone stood up to the bullies (Obama, PA, Kerry, Hamas, etc.). I’m sick of one after another celebrity backing off from Israeli support, and canceling shows, concerts, etc. Enough is enough!
Oxfam would rather see the Palestinians living in poverty and being cannon fodder for the thugs of Hamas and Hezbollah. Yes, that inconvenient fact that Sodastream employs some 500 Palestinians and pays them a decent wage is repugnant to the left, because they are no longer “victims”, read tools to “the cause”.

She’s not necessarily a friend of Israel though just because she’s against a boycott of a company she works for. It could be she wanst to get paid and/or is just one of those rational people that thinks boycotting an entire country because you may not like certain things it’s government does is a retarded policy.
