Natalie Portman Strikes Back (Kickin' Harvard Crimson Butt)

On Wednesday, the Jerusalem-born actress objected tartly in the Harvard Crimson to law student Faisal Chaudhry's April 11 essay on U.S. policy concerning Israel and the Palestinians.

Portman continued: "Outrageous and untrue finger-pointing is a childish tactic that disregards the responsibility of all parties involved."

Me too, I knew she would be a star when I saw her with Tim Hutton in 'Beautiful Girls...' (she couldn't have been older than 14-15)

Sorry I was late to the party!

That thread is gone. I wonder why. Are we protecting Queen Natalie's real name?

If we are, I see nothing wrong with that. I was about to say something about it to the Admin before the thread was pulled.

[wardaddy]

she was beautiful before you read this....and still is. It wasn't hard to tell even as a girl in the Professional that she would grow into babe material...smart too.

[quebecois]

what is her real surname?

What, exactly, gives her special rights around here, murdoog? The Harvard Crimson is a PUBLIC newspaper; I doubt they published her full address and phone number. She is not above us.

Jean Reno bump.....my favorite(my wife's too) Frenchman....but he's a Spaniard by birth.

...Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I have just had a very impure thought...

Jew. Because DeNiro is half Jewish. And the director, Michael Mann, 100% so.

Big UofC bump for that comment!

It's harder to get into Harvard than Chicago, but it's harder to get out of Chicago than out of Harvard.

They are a bit fuzzy and the rest of the site has some raunchy pop-ups. You've been warned.

what lost me with her is her going on Rosie right after Phantom Menace saying how much she hated guns. Didn't stop her from nailing bad guys left in right in Phantom Menace, now that I think about it, it didn't stop her from playing an assassin wanna be either. But, it is a good letter by my reckoning, so, I'll this one even for now. I do like brains over beauty any day

[wardaddy]

Like many in La La Land....their movies are obsessed with firearms...even more than we gun nuts here LOL...but personally they detest guns...until they need one that is. Where I'm from we call that hypocritical. In any event, she is a classically beautiful young woman who at least has the right mind about Israel.

LoL.

Foreign policy in general not related to national interest bores me.

Whether it "bores" you or not, Saudi Arabia is responsible for about a quarter of the world's oil supply, and is the only country with sufficient production overcapacity to stabilize oil prices in the case of a sudden supply deficit.

Whether it "bores" you or not, Israel has somewhere between 100 and 400 nuclear warheads, and is surround by 50 million screaming Arabs that want to destroy her. (It probably won't interest you, either, that the president of Iran several months ago publicly mooted the possibility of nuking Israel, suggesting it may be acceptable for the more populous Arab world to accept the counter-strikes in exchange for the elimination of Israel.)

If, God forbid, Israel's nukes ever fall on or near the Arabs' oil fields, I suspect the results of that (a killing global depression) will grab your attention.

I am not really sure why you addressed this to me too. Pray tell?

"I can't understand why most US Jews are knee-jerk liberals."

Could it be because most US Jews are not truly Jewish??? Just like most US Christians often don't act like Christians. Why are many NE Christians knee-jerk liberals or 'milque-toast' moderates?
