NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism.
The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper.
It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.
"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," the ad reads.
"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.
"We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."
A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad.
The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.
Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.
Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.
"cult is the primary irreconcilable difference which caused their divorce" that and the part about him prefering the company of men.
Amazing.
You beat me to it...
Thanks for the info, merry.
Knock me over with a feather!
I don't think she has ever been out in the sun....
His father is Jewish; that could be the reason.
Could be, that was my first reaction.
We all know how much power the Hollywood elites have over world politics, right?
< /sarc >
From what I understand, Israelis can have an election any time...maybe the Israeli military will decide to throw that lawyer out of power?? Is my one hope. As far as liberal Jews are concerned, it seems to me that when they choose the State over their own faith, especially when it is leftist in character, they give up any right to castigate their fellow Jew.
best,
Yes. There's a small contingent of Hollywood conservatives involved, including Bruce Willis and James Wood. That's nice. Maybe they were helpful in arranging this. I don't know. All I know is, this does not take away the liberal's anti-WOT stance. It's a specific statement for a specific situation. Let's not (please) make it into something it isn't.
Hooray!..Nicole Kidman and Hooray! to each of the 84 undersigned. Thanks to each and every one of you!
I have to say I have always had a think for redheads and NK is really an elegant looking woman.
I just wonder what these people expect Willis, Stallone, Douglas, Woods and Heaton to do, become Navy Seals? Stallone turned freakin' 60 this year for pete's sake!
Why do I, all of a sudden, feel safe?
Thank you!
I'm German descent and have enjoyed close relationships with the Jewish community all my life (and my family way before that). Israel is fighting for its existence. Israel needs all the help it can get. From that standpoint, this release is great. However we as Americans shouldn't put too much stock in it. At least, not from our perspective. That's all I'm saying.
God's blessings on Israel and its people!!
Not if we're communicating in English, and last time I checked that's what they speak Down Under. The word "targets" no more portrays Kidman as a warrior than the phrase "Kidman put on khaki" does. You are reading something into this.
Where have they been the last 6 years?
