Mayim Bialik: I've lost many fans, but I'm still a Zionist (article + great video)
Ynet ^ | 08.15.14 | Staff

Posted on 08/16/2014 12:07:37 PM PDT by Fenhalls555

The Jewish star of CBS's "The Bing Bang Theory," says she has lost a lot of fans in the past month because of her support for Israel, but that "it's OK. I love you more than popularity, even when you make me crazy. And even though I don’t always agree with Israeli policy, I’m still a Zionist."

In a post titled, "Why I wear my Jewish star," Bialik wrote that following the Israeli operation in Gaza and what she had been through in the past month, she truly understood for the first time why Jews who previously hadn't worn skullcaps started wearing them in the United States after the Yom Kippur War in 1973, "when Jews were being attacked simply for being."

"In the middle of the conflicts in Israel and Gaza this month, and in the middle of the virulent attacks I was coming under on social media, I put on my Magen David – my Star of David necklace – and it strangely felt like putting on armor," she wrote. "It felt like a statement. Gold armor around my neck: The way I show that I am Jewish and that I am not afraid to be so."

FWIW, Bialik actually has the same advanced degrees in neuroscience, as the character she plays on Big Bang Theory. She’s way smarter than most Hollyweird actors.

Good for her. Standing with Israel, as opposed to the TERRORISTS in “Palestine”, is the right thing to do.

yep, and while Big Bang no doubt has a lot of dumb lo info fans, that show has a lot of intelligent viewers too…..and I suspect they overwhelmingly think even more of her now than before.

Good to see, this really shows you where some peoples priorities lay.

As a Side Note, I liked her quick little appearance on Jew in the City a couple of Years Ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aT9RHmhngk&list=UURJiZAJgqIE-29sq30m_fvA

“...they overwhelmingly think even more of her now than before.”

I’m one who does, that’s for sure.

She was the best addition to that show, she is just hilarious on it. Whoever had that idea, they must be pretty smart themselves.

I respect her more for standing up for Israel.

What is wrong with all the Jew haters? I don’t understand. The Dems hate the Jews, yet the Jews vote for the Dems. I don’t understand this either.

Melissa Rauch (Bernadette), Sarah Gilbert (Leslie Winkle), Kevin Sussman (Stuart) and of course Simon Helberg (Wolowitz) are also Jewish.

That’s very Nazi of you...

You forgot to mention all the Nobel prizes won by Jews, all the medical breakthroughs that probably saved your life or that of your relatives, made by Jews, the jewish philanthropists and the conservative jews (like Mark Levin), contribution to religion and philosophy and politics of all stripes.

Yes the jews have been and are disproportionately successful in just about every field you can imagine, and the cross that they’ve had to bear has been envious people like you.

I bet you consider yourself a good Christian - in the mold of the KKK.

If Jews own the media like you reckon, they’ve done a really crappy job at exploiting the medium, because the MSM is relentlessly anti-Israeli in its editorial slant.

I must say, the Snark in that Video is quite telling.

At first I actually thought it would be a tribute, but by the end I could tell for what it really was. And by the other vid's on the channel. (I hate to tell you this......but I maybe Jewish...But I am White too you know.....)

Actually Strach that, there is no "Pure" Race.

The Aryan Race? Okay, but which the are Pure Strands? The Geats, The Angles? The Marcomanni? The Cimbri? They All inhabited Germany at one point.

Maybe some Lighting can clear that up for you....

Perhaps because it’s actually the Saudis that are doing what they claim the Jews are doing with regards to the media.
