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 am awaiting the DU reaction
Could you please link this one too?
Funny to see these Hollywood liberals standing side-by-side with George W. Bush and the Israelis against terrorism.
This can't be true. They must have all been taken over by the pod people from the 'Body Snatchers'. On another bright note, maybe we will see some better acting out of all of them. :)
Besides Film Actors Guild supports terrorism.
And a few additional details at the bottom.
Maybe one of these articles will get posted to the sidebar
Perhaps soon, someone will post one of these that contains all 84 names; that, at least, would be good.
That's what W has been saying all along!
Kudos to all those in Hollywood who have taken a stand for Freedom and against terrorism.
I don't see anything about this on DUh,
Also surprised to see just how few threads there are over there these days.
Daily KAOS eating their lunch?
