Becoming an Israeli citizen changed her primary residency and nationality, meaning she’d likely need a visa or specific arrangements to reside long-term in the US.

Left wing actress who ran for Congress in 2018. Her mother is Jewish, all of a sudden the actress claimed in 2023 that she was a victim of anti-semitic incidents which she refuses to discuss, and ups and moves to Israel.

AI Overview

Actress Diane Neal has spoken out about experiencing significant antisemitism in the U.S., describing shocking incidents, including police officers invoking anti-Jewish tropes, which contributed to her decision to make aliyah (immigrate to Israel) in 2023, where she now resides and embraces her Jewish identity. She stated she always knew antisemitism existed but was surprised by its severity, prompting her move to a place where she feels a deeper connection and safety, feeling grateful for Israel as a refuge from rising hate.

Key Details of Her Experience:

Police Incident: Neal recounted a 2019 event where police allegedly dismissed her concerns, telling her they thought she was "doing it for the money" and using the classic antisemitic line, "It's always about the money". Rise in Antisemitism: She noted the "unprecedented rise" and "undercurrent" of antisemitism in the U.S., making her feel unsafe.

Move to Israel: Her experiences directly influenced her choice to move to Israel, a decision she made to escape the rising hatred and connect with her heritage. Zionist Views: Neal is a Zionist, believing in the necessity and existence of the State of Israel, and sees her move as a way to give back and make a difference.

Definite possibility of mental illness.

This reminds me of the doctors who diagnosed President Trump. How is your diagnosis different from theirs ?

Left wing actress ...

Seeing the forest for the trees, I would note her real problem was not marrying a Jew (or a Catholic :) ) and having children in a real marriage that lasted. I'm not judging her; I'm sympathizing with her and many others.

At 50 it would almost require a miracle to do it naturally but a lot of American men and women are in the same boat. They are family poor and have a sort of replacement strategy using animals or friends instead of children and grandchildren.

LOL- except Trump stuck around and fought to make America better- you failed...

Diane Neal (whose father is Irish) is the perpetrator of a
huge, ridiculous publicity stunt to further her film career.

NOBODY even knew she was “part Jewish.”

Neal herself was born in affluent Bergen County, New Jersey, had an American upbringing, and often highlighted “her family’s American roots,” implying her mother likely was American, though direct confirmation is elusive.

Neal keeps her mother’s supposed “Jewish roots” a
deep dark secret if, in fact, she has Jewish roots at all.

Before she ditched her American citizenship, the actress noted that
some fans “lost admiration” for her AFTER she made a big deal about “being Jewish.”

She then whined, that she had experienced “antisemitism”
.....but this was a publicity stunt, a justification for her need to move to Israel.

Guaranteed, she’ll soon be back in the US brandishing a big fat movie role for her fake efforts.

Maybe she became Jewish for the jokes.

My idea of rich and hers are definitely a number of zeros apart. But if she came with nothing but a carry-on and paper-work, and tried to finance her own campaign as an independent and got sued by both major parties, financing her own litigation, too, my idea of broke and hers are quite similar. Trump survived the lawfare because he’s a billionare. She was a mere millionare.

[Eleutheria5]

I don’t want to see Martha Stewart’s tatas, so I don’t watch that.

Maybe Neal “became Jewish” for the jokes.

A joke......that’s Neal for sure.

[Eleutheria5]

“missed”? She’s over here now! Everything is not about your feelings.

[Eleutheria5]

“Guaranteed, she’ll soon be back in the US brandishing a big fat movie role for her fake efforts.”

She’s been here since 2023. Thank you for flaunting your ignorance.

Y/v/w, stupid.

Other than being a sinner albeit saved by the grace of the LORD, how have I failed ?

[God luvs America]

by making idiot post with dumb comparisons...that’s a multitude of sins

Is that what you are doing ?

[God luvs America]

LOL- asking if the woman who left America for Israel due to antisemitism voted for demoKKKrats? No- look at the responses- your immediate anti-Trump response was the only idiot sinful reply...

[Eleutheria5]

You have ignorance. But ignorance is curable. She has been here (in Israel, where I am), since 2023. Since you didn’t listen to the video, and only went as far as “Law & Order Star...” you did not know that fact. You were ignorant of it. But I did not call you “stupid”. I now remedy that, because in 2023, shortly after coming to Israel, our country (mine and Neal’s) was plunged into a two-year war in a region not meant for such elongated campaigns. Missiles were flying. Terrorists were terrorizing. Slanders were broadcast and amplified against our country and its armed forces, as they fought to defend us. And yet she did not leave. Neither did I. But here you are, after these two years, “guaranteeing” that she would soon leave Israel, and return to the US to star in some damned movie. She didn’t do that until now, despite wars, bombs, ramming and stabbing attacks for over two years, and if she wants to be in a movie, we do have our own cinema industry, which produces films in Hebrew, English and Arabic.

So that accusation, madame, is incredibly stupid, conceived in ignorance and dedicated to the proposition that everyone is fake. King David said “I have said in my haste that all men are false.” You exemplify that haste. And that’s truly stupid. King David’s Psalms have many instances of personal introspection, such as is contained in that line. I suggest you try it. For your penance, watch the damned video.
