If Jon Voight ever decides to give up acting, he could easily sign on as a Nefesh B'Nefesh emissary.
Unlike many celebrities, who parachute in for quick, superficial jaunts through Israel, the 69-year-old Academy Award winner speaks of the country with the passion and knowledge of an insider.
And despite focusing his week-long visit on some of the grimmer realities of life here, Voight, who is not Jewish, remains fervent in his enthusiasm for what he terms a "miracle in progress."
"My business is story telling, and this is such a great story. To think in my lifetime that the Jews have returned to their land is simply amazing," said Voight last week, while fighting off a cold in the executive lounge of the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem.
"One of the most impressive things is that this barren land has returned to fullness of its description in the Bible - it really is the land of milk and honey,"
Voight said that if he were Israeli, he would be staunchly against negotiating with Hamas, and compared the plight of Sderot to that of London in World War II.
"Do I think that [Neville] Chamberlain should have talked to Adolf Hitler? It's not different with the situation in Sderot. There were German barrages coming across into London terrorizing the London population. And that's what's going on in Sderot - they're trying to demoralize that little town - that little town," repeated Voight for emphasis.
Calling himself a former liberal Democrat, Voight recently endorsed Republican Sen. John McCain in the US presidential race. He added that he would prefer Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama, citing Obama as "dangerous."

I think I heard you say this before......is it- was it true?
Who sez that! As a former Democrat he would vote for HRC, but since he jumped over the fence, he be voting McCain. Simple, nobody called him a conservative, except you!
Wow! Cool!

“I believe Whatley converted to Judaism just for the jokes!” < /seinfeld >
I thought he was saying that he endorsed McCain and out of the 2 Democrats, Obama was more dangerous for America.
... I’ll knock your teeth out you anti-dentite bastard!
Robert Wagner plays a great straight man ( did well in Two and a Half Men ).
He said he “ preferred Hilary over Obama “ . Not exactly a ringing endorsement for McCain when in one breath Voigt says he endorses him and in the next say he prefers Hillary over Obama .
Actually Angelina Jolie wrote an editorial 1 or 2 months ago about Iraq which said that things were getting better but that there was still a lot of work to do to make Iraq safe and that she was against a hasty withdrawal...she was there as a refugee observer.
If ever I met John Voight, I would tell him that he sure has a “purdy mouth.”
