Jane Fonda, Danny Glover and Eve Ensler have joined the growing list of artists who are boycotting the Toronto film festival over a program honoring Tel Aviv's 100th anniversary, gossip blogger Perez Hilton reported on Friday.

The three have added their names to a letter aimed at festival officials claiming that Tel Aviv was built on violence, ignoring the "suffering of thousands of former residents and descendants," Hilton reported.

Several Israeli films are being screened at the festival's new City to City event, which this year celebrates Tel Aviv's centennial.

Culture critic Naomi Klein and director John Greyson are among those who had already announced their protest over the homage to Tel Aviv.

Two-time Oscar winner Rabbi Marvin Hier, who founded the Simon Wiesenthal Center, called the boycott "an attack on the heart and soul of Israel."

"People who support letters like this are people who do not support a two-state solution," he was quoted as saying on Hilton's blog.

Jane Fonda, Danny Glover and Eve Ensler, looking back in historical prespective they are all children of Hitler and Stalin and have always been anti-American, helping the enemies of American Freedom kill Americans and others.

I can tell you this. Many Christians believe that hatred of the Jewish people is a certain sign of the spirit of the antichrist in the world. Many Churches are ready to help the nation of Israel and all Jews everywhere in any way we can.

I pray that in this country it won't get so bad that we will have to hide Jews, but are ready to...

And in the meantime we will pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

You know, back in the Bad Old Days (when Israel was considered a liberal/left wing cause in the United States) Hanoi Jane and then hubby Tom Hayden actually entertained Israeli troops during the 1982 Lebanon war and issued a press release on why they supported Israel in Lebanon but not the US in Vietnam (such as Lebanon actually being on Israel's border and Israel being physically shelled from there).

Looks like only a few Jewish lefties will be all that's left of the True Believers (in Israel as a "radical" cause) soon, if that isn't already the case.

It took Perez Hilton to break this story. And he’s being cited in Haaretz. The world has indeed changed.
