WASHINGTON - Heads of the film industry in Hollywood and prominent movie stars have signed a statement blaming Hamas and Hizbullah for terror activities in the Middle East, the war in Lebanon, and for harming innocents.

 

Some 84 senior film industry members signed the statement, published in the Hollywood Reporter newspaper, the Los Angeles Times, and the Variety newspaper.

 

Among the signatories: Sylvester Stallone, James Woods, Bruce Willis, director Ridley Scott, tennis player Serena Williams, Nicole Kidman,

​ ​​​​Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, William Hurt, Josh Malina, Kelly Preston, Danny DeVito, Don Johnson, and media tycoon Rupert Murdock.

 

The Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles has been active since the start of fighting with an aim of drafting Hollywood stars to back Israel. During the war, Ehud Danoch, the consul general, initiated a mission aimed at enlisting support for Israel in Hollywood. The team was comprised of Israeli directors and producers in Hollywood.

 

'Stop terror at any price'

 

The statement said that if terror around the world is not stopped, chaos will rule and innocents will continue to die. The statement called for terror to be stopped at any price.

 

Consul General Danoch is continuing with his PR activities, and on Wednesday night he briefed the heads of the William Morris agency on the recent events in Lebanon.

 

Actor Adam Sandler was present at one of the many briefings the consul general gave this week. At the end of the briefing, Sandler announced that he would personally donate USD 100,000 to the children of the north and south, and about 400 Playstation games purchased by the actor are expected to be transferred to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem in the coming days.p>

I don't know... Maybe some of these "stars" want a better pay check.

[SandRat]

I found their reaction

[AFreeBird]

Well, leave Adam Baldwin out of it. He seems okay. Seems to be the sane one in the family

Hell, he played a character named Jayne.

Before 2001 I spent over $300 per year at the movies. But after 2001, I spend less than $ 20 dollars a year...and that's in DVD's. Hollywood is not American. Nobody to really appreciate. The golden era of Hollywood is over. Decline and the tedious characterizes the American Movie Industry now.

[DannyTN]

Finally, movie stars I have a reason to go see, instead of a reason to avoid.

[TatieBug]

Good for you. I've seen 3 movies in 7 years...

[GeronL]

I wonder why the pro-Hamas, pro-Hezzie DUmmies are ignoring it?? LOL

[Dallas59]

I just can't do it. Even the movies I've bought leave a bad taste. I want to enjoy the story in the movie but when I think of all the crap that Hollywood has said about how stupid we "little people" are after 2001.....I said to myself, "What the hell am I paying them for?" It's just over. I've kicked them out of my "little" house.

Well, leave Adam Baldwin out of it. He seems okay. Seems to be the sane one in the family

Stephen is cool, too.

[antceecee]

I prefer to file this under "who gives a cr@p". More Lib Hollywood grandstanding.

[SoldiersPrayingMom]

They were not all liberals.....many of them were conservatives too!

[weegee]

I'm waiting for their announced boycott of these 84 names.

[kaehurowing]

This is a hoax, right?

[GeronL]

I don't even think its been posted there

[SoldiersPrayingMom]

Another Baldwin that you can leave out is Stephen Baldwin, who is a Born Again
Christian and played a leading role in "SIX...The Mark Unleashed"

[Eddie01]

Do me a favor Hollywood and just sing and dance for me when I'm not out making a difference.

Nobody wants to hear your thoughts on anything.

[karnage]

Adam Baldwin is not related to the other Baldwins - Alec, William, Stephen and Daniel, the latter four of whom are brothers.

[SoldiersPrayingMom]

Stephen is the Good Brother and no doubt a conservative. : )

[garylmoore]

Very surprising.

[M. Espinola]

It's a step in the right direction.
