Israel was very popular with the Left for a significant time.

Israel was founded as a Socialist state.

Israel found it could not survive as a Socialist state, so it moderated toward capitalism.

It has many Socialist institutions.

Hollywood is a community based on stupidity, arrogance, and demonic capitulation.

Natalie Portman is an ass. It is sacrilegious to say that she is not a good actress, and she is a horrible dancer. Two left feet. I don
T know how her ballerina husband can tolerate her.

Hollywood is part of the American left.

imho the Hollywood is not too favorable to Israel for the same reason the left in general is not too favorable to Russia.

Russia has turned away from atheism. which is a no no to the left.

Israel of course never turned to atheism.

there are real world consequences to the left’s actions. In the last two months a number of liberal states have pushed late term abortions to birth. In effect, they have embraced infanticide.

Basically the left is moving pell mell from the judeo christian tradition to the caananite tradition.

“It’s the politically correct thing these days, at least on the left”

How else can an up and coming artist show that he’s a cutting-edge, daring maverick, who defies convention?

“But willful Jews who resist, unless they’re in the Warsaw Ghetto, died in Hollywood depictions long ago, along with Paul Newman in Exodus.”

Daniel Craig did an excellent movie called Defiance in 2008. It got nominated for a couple of Oscars.

Minor point.

“Jon Voight, ... And Voight isn’t even Jewish.”

When he was on Levin’s TV show he explained why he loves Israel so much, and a large part of it was how they treated his father. It was a very tougching segment.

I think it’s a bit ironic. Weren’t Jews the major players when Hollywood got its start? I’m not sure, but it seems Hollywood exists because of them.

Agreed! Hollywood is a significant funder for Democrats who has shown significant support for Israel’s enemies . According to Biblical scripture, Satan has been determined to destroy Jews ever since God announced that they were his chosen people. He obviously has used people in the past who have been influenced by him such as, King Herod, Hitler and several others and continues to use people today. Hollywood has shown a similar style of hate and would probably exercise similar acts as the Jew killers of the past if they thought that they could pull it off. The folks who have read the final chapter of the Book know how it all ends and it does not end well for those who choose poorly. In fact the one they follow is already the ultimate loser.

“Hollywood is part of the American left.”

Exactly! The author completely misses the mark on this piece. Hollywood has no problem with Jews fighting back as long as it’s against the perceived white Christian power base. The also have not a care for alienating the audience because the wide swath of unwashed masses must be converted.

David Horowitz states it succinctly. “The issue is never the issue. The revolution is always the issue.” Israel is seen as an icon of Western culture and Judeo-Christian values, and therefore must be destroyed.

Conservatives see the problems in the middle east as a result of the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism after WWII and see Israel as a bulwark against it. Their cure is the destruction of militant Islam.

Liberals see the problems in the middle east as a result of the formation of Israel and the ensuing US dominance in the region. They see the cure as the rise of a regional islamic power, like Iran, to counterbalance US hegemony and the destruction of the Jewish state.

I'm rather surprised by Rabbi's column because heretofore, I thought Shmuley Boteach was an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, and as such he would most certainly know that the majority of Hollywood Jews are secular which is why they're not religiously tied to Israel.

In fact, I will dare to state that Hollywood's practicing Christians are much more supportive of Israel and they're also stalwart defenders of the Jewish state.

As for the Hollywood Jews always being on the side of the underdog, there again, the dear Rabbi is giving them a pass for their twisted libtard secular ideology: Jews remain the prey in the Muslim Middle East. One glance at a map makes that case crystal clear! Israel is a tiny spot surrounded by Arab lands.

Even people like Steven Spielberg who are excellent – beyond excellent – on the Holocaust are apparently silent when it comes to speaking up for Israel.

Israel deserves to be supported by America because:

-Israel is the only country in the region that is fit for a rational civilized individual to live in
-it shares the fundamental values of Western civilization including God-given natural rights and freedom
-it supports America and votes the same way that America does more than any other country.
-It is a modern productive nation of economic progress that creates many products that America values
-it does not hate America and does not wish to destroy it or turn it into a mohammedan or mexican hellhole.
-it does not wish to kill Americans
-it is not a terrorist nation
