Showbiz Zion-Loathers: The Bad, The Stupid and The Has-Beens

From YNET News:

Today, cinema is the most attractive show business for the haters of Israel; Hollywood celebrities, such as the Trotskyite Vanessa Redgrave and Viggo Mortensen, have boarded the anti-Israel bandwagon.

It’s an Israelophobic star system that joined the most perverse sabotage of human rights. Seven-time Oscar nominee Mike Leigh and two-time Oscar winner Emma Thompson are among three dozen actors and directors who signed a letter calling for the boycott of Israel's national theater, Habima, which has been included in a Shakespeare festival in England.

 "Habima has a shameful record of involvement with illegal Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory," says the letter, published in the Guardian newspaper. Elsewhere, more than 150 American artists, including actresses Julianne Moore, Redgrave and Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon, signed a letter in support of the boycott of Ariel’s cultural center in Samaria.

Several prominent actors and filmmakers, including Danny Glover and Jane Fonda, boycotted the Toronto International Film Festival to protest a week of screenings of Israeli films to mark the Tel Aviv centennial (another "settlement" for them.) Then a film festival in Scotland returned funding to the Israeli Embassy after succumbing to pressure from anti-Israel celebrities who threatened to picket the event.

 Danish director Lars von Trier recently told an audience at the Cannes film festival that he thought Israel was "a pain in the ass." Oscar winner Jean-Luc Godard has called Israel "a cancer on the map of the Middle East" and "a paradoxical form of Nazism." The decision to award Palestinian film "Paradise Now" the Golden Globes Award for best foreign film tells us that Palestinian terror against Israelis has become cool and acceptable...

Anyone who thinks killing Jews is "cool and acceptable" is ipso facto a creepy, loathsome, morally bankrupt a-hole.
