Hollywood has deservedly been labeled the epicenter of the “left coast.” It is a city full of misguided liberal actors who are too detached from mainstream Americans and traditional values.
Recently, conservative actor Jon Voight took a few pro-Hamas actors to task for their shameful comments about Israel’s efforts to defend their democracy from terrorism. And now, what began with a relatively small number of Hollywood celebrities voicing support for Israel has become almost 200 celebrity names signing on to a pro-Israel, anti-Hamas petition. Even superstars like Sylvester Stallone and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger have signed on… which should be yet another reason to watch Expendables 3 this weekend!
In addition, some actors you wouldn’t expect to be on the correct side of this issue surprised us – A-Listers, such as Seth Rogen, Sarah Silverman, and Mayim Bialik also signed on to oppose Hamas. Great news!
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, ARE SADDENED BY THE DEVASTATING LOSS OF LIFE ENDURED BY ISRAELIS AND PALESTINIANS IN GAZA. WE ARE PAINED BY THE SUFFERING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CONFLICT AND HOPE FOR A SOLUTION THAT BRINGS PEACE TO THE REGION.
WHILE WE STAND FIRM IN OUR COMMITMENT TO PEACE AND JUSTICE, WE MUST ALSO STAND FIRM AGAINST IDEOLOGIES OF HATRED AND GENOCIDE WHICH ARE REFLECTED IN HAMAS’ CHARTER, ARTICLE 7 OF WHICH READS, “THERE IS A JEW HIDING BEHIND ME, COME ON AND KILL HIM!” THE SON OF A HAMAS FOUNDER HAS ALSO COMMENTED ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF HAMAS.
HAMAS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO RAIN ROCKETS ON ISRAELI CITIES, NOR CAN IT BE ALLOWED TO HOLD ITS OWN PEOPLE HOSTAGE. HOSPITALS ARE FOR HEALING, NOT FOR HIDING WEAPONS. SCHOOLS ARE FOR LEARNING, NOT FOR LAUNCHING MISSILES. CHILDREN ARE OUR HOPE, NOT OUR HUMAN SHIELDS.
WE JOIN TOGETHER IN SUPPORT OF THE DEMOCRATIC VALUES WE ALL CHERISH AND IN THE HOPE THAT THE HEALING AND TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF THE ARTS CAN BE USED TO BUILD BRIDGES OF PEACE.
