Maybe Jennifer Lopez should run for Congress. That’s our reaction to her performance in Israel. Some 57,000 Israelis came out to hear “Jenny From the Block” sing in Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park. She was having such a good time, the Daily Algemeiner reports, that, after getting a translation from a member of the audience, she called out “I Love You” — in Hebrew. The crowd went wild.
What a contrast to the sour socialism of another famous figure from the Bronx, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Since getting elected to Congress, the congresswoman has done little in respect of Israel except kvetch. The other day she agreed with an interviewer who’d suggested, “What’s going on with Israel and Palestine, while it’s very, very, deep, it is very, very, criminal, and it is very, very unjust.”
“Absolutely,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez shot back. Which is in keeping with her support in the House for the movement to pressure Israel through boycotts, divestment, and sanctions. She voted for a pro-BDS measure that was also backed by two of the most anti-Israel Democrats in Congress, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Fortunately, the measure was rejected.
In any event, the contrast on the topic of Israel between Ms. Lopez and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t be greater. Ms. Lopez came under pressure from BDS-backing groups to cancel her plans to sing in the Jewish State. She faced them down. “There was nothing that was gonna stop us from being in Israel,” Miss Lopez’s manager, Benny Medina, told Israeli television.

Well it appears that she may catching crap from the ‘bds’ assclowns for going there. So, that moves her up at least one notch.
I am not Jewish but every few weeks this couple hosts a bunch of us for shabbat dinner and yesterday someone mentioned this. Good for J-Lo!
Good for her. It’s never too late to make a good person of yourself.
My thoughts too. I've recently seen a few of her movies and she is not a bad actress either. If the chooses the right roles she's pretty good.
Bless her for supporting Israel and not becoming just another Hollywood sheeple.
I just got back from there.
Gee... let me think about that! /S
I love JLo, she’s an amazing talent. But she is a huge liberal Hillary supporter. She will never be on our political side.
Interesting. I wouldn’t have pegged her for this sort of thought, but kudos to her to the max, for doing this.
Yeah, she just scored points with me.
“She was having such a good time, the Daily Algemeiner reports, that, after getting a translation from a member of the audience, she called out “I Love You” — in Hebrew. The crowd went wild.”
Call me cynical...
Credit where it’s due.
Any Hillary supporter can just go jump in the lake of fire as far as I’m concerned. They might as well, that’s where they will end up anyway.
Is your Jewish couple willing to support Trump or Republicans in general?
