The ongoing battle between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has moved several high profile actors and filmmakers to voice their opinions. Now, one of the most strident, Jon Voight, has taken to attack the Spanish contingent that has spoken about the bloodshed, and blamed Israel for a campaign of genocide.

In response to the strongly-worded July 29 letter blaming Israel for the genocide on the Gaza Strip, which was signed by Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz and published in a Spanish newspaper, Voight blasted the actors this morning with his own statement saying they have defamed the only democratic country of goodwill in the Middle East: Israel (Bardem and Cruz later clarified their statements this week).

Voight is a longtime supporter of Israel and wrote that both Bardem and Cruz should “hang their heads in shame” over their shortsightedness with the country’s situation and that they “incited anti-Semitism all over the world and are oblivious to the damage that they have caused.”

Is that Art Vandelay?

I don’t think the Brits have revealed themselves to be very brilliant on these points, either, and actually, there were other turning points.

In fact, the entire English speaking world is probably where the worship of stars began, because in earlier times and places, outside of their stage roles, actresses were regarded as glamorous sluts (which they often were) and actors as total fops (which they often were).

They only became pundits in the US in the mid-20th century, and now it’s spread.

Jon Voight... MUCH, MUCH MORE than just an American actor and Angelina Jolie’s father.

Go get ‘em, John!

(How could such a man have a nut case daughter like Angelina Jolie?
Vials of blood around her neck? Covered in tattoos? An adopted ‘nation’ of children?)

Nobody knows how to use a comma anymore. There's a superfluous comma here that REVERSES the meaning of the sentence.

Fantastic letter! The truth is stated simply and elegantly.
