Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah
Herald Sun ^ | 17 August 2006

Posted on 08/16/2006 5:19:45 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

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.

His father is Jewish; that could be the reason.

We all know how much power the Hollywood elites have over world politics, right?

Thank you.

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,

After I started reading the names I thought maybe I was wrong. Bruce Willis, Sly, etc... Maybe I am wrong and there is a group of conservative hollywood people finaly coming forward.

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.

That's my thinking as well. The people in this thread whining about it remind me of the Leftist idiots who want to know why the Bush daughters aren't in the Army, as if we really need two girls who want to be teachers to round out the war effort for us. I have a mental picture of Barbara throwing a wicked stiletto heel into the throat of a jihadi on a midnight raid...

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.

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!!

No bs at all. I was correct in what I wrote.

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.
