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."

But she’s still a liberal, right? If so she can’t be that smart, even though I am with her on support for Israel.
She is related to Israel’s national poet, Haim Nahman Bialik, the greatest modern Hebrew poet.
I’m proud of her!
Yeah, I love that crazy ditty also.
What a great quote.
I’m running a bit low on litmus paper, so I don’t know if she’s blue or red. She’s right on Israel, and that’s plenty for now.
BTW, political ideology, like any other mind set, has little to do with intelligence.
