61. Jon Voight?
Eshkol Hakofer   (08.22.11)
the poor guy is a foolish noachide that fell prey to chabad's mumbo jumbo. no wonder, like them he is surprised 21st century dr's in the democratic state of israel treat palestinians as well as jews. in the messianic state of chabad, they whould have given them the 'torat hasmelech' deplorable treatment.
62. #46 SUE
David N. ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.22.11)
I love Israel, I am a Jew, and I live in Israel. I give my all to Israel. AND I believe that Glenn Beck is an obnoxious egocentric, narcicistic American entertainer. I am not even slightly liberal/left in outlook. Beck is a low-class act compared to the genuine educated conservatives of the past in America. He's a showman. I reject his false, self-serving "friendship." Fortunately, most of hard-working modertate-to-low income Israel has NEVER even hear of the flash-in-the-pan event called Beck.
63. Chabad sponsoring celebrity visits?
Paula ,   Melbourne, Australia   (08.22.11)
I'm surprised that chabad would sponsor such a thing!
64. nobody from a Christian country would
plod   (08.22.11)
find it surprising that you treat your enemies in your hospitals. This is taken for granted. One cant help suspecting that it was actually the Ynet reporter who found this fact worth mentioning , rather than this American actor. A westener is more likely to be outraged that your enemies were NOT treated , than shocked that they are treated. I mean, gimme a break !!
65. Thank you John and thank you for...Angelina too:-) !!
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.22.11)

67. #3 do jews send rockets into poland and germany?
rachel ,   usa   (08.22.11)
68. Yes a great person!
rachel ,   usa   (08.22.11)
69. Jews in germany and Poland aren't murdering Germans and
Nofia ,   Jerusalem Israel   (08.22.11)
Poles in cold blood, Avi.
70. Ridiculous comparison Avi in NYC
Ruth ,   UK   (08.22.11)
Ridiculous comparison. The Germans and Poles are not lobbing thousands of missiles at the Jews. Whether you agree or disagree with Jon Voigt's opinions, he makes a valid statement in that most people outside of Israel DO NOT know that Palestinians are treated in Israeli hospitals, free of charge, by Israeli doctors and nurses. Something that is lost on those like Desmond Tutu who call Israel an apartheid state. Israel is not perfect but it is a damn sight better than most countries in this world when it comes to medical treatment of non Israelis.
71. @3, @57 & @64
Anna ,   Wroclaw, Poland   (08.22.11)
Avi, man, you really are blind. Would a gazan treat a Jew in his hospital? Let's send you there and see if you come back in a coffin. Besides - you miss the point!! In Poland a Jew is a Pole, in Holland a Jew is a Dutch, or German, or Russian, or American. Nobody sees him as a "JEW". An Israeli is an Israeli, no matter if Arab, Druze, Bahai, Jew or Christian. A "palestinian terrorist" is a terrorist. Would you like to be bed-to-bed with one in the hospital? So why you are such a big leftist hypocrite? @57 Really, you do pay? LOL! 200 NIS for an ambulance ride from Gaza border to Beer Sheva is too much for you and you refuse when an Israeli patient has to pay 5 times more for SUCH a distance!! And hospital treatment... yeah right! Why then there are JEWISH philanthropists who sponsor PALESTINIAN kids treatments in Israeli hospitals?? They care for the kids you don't give a sh..t about! You prefer to strap an explosive belt to their waists and send them on the suicide mission!! And the JEWS care for ALL CHILDREN no matter if they will - as a "thank you" - kill their (Jewish) children in the feature... @64 You no know nothing Plod! Really? Would you treat in your Christian hospital a guy who just moments ago killed your mother, brother, wife and 2 little kids you worked hard on bringing to the world? Would you?? I want to see that!! Be my guest! Then tell me why actor was surprised. I have a delight reading news in a few languages and I can clearly see how they present Israel - the heartless monster who kills palestinians. Only in the 10th line you read the actual story that 15 people died in Israel due to palestinian attacks. Your christian country people see it this way too. A macho-bloodthirsty Israel and poor-innocent-palestinian-terrorist who shoot 10 civilian people inside ISRAEL's TERRITORY!! NOBODY takes is as obvious nor granted that Israel would take in the terrorists for treatment. NOBODY! NO COUNTRY can think of it. NOBODY would do that. The world delights in hearing that hospital in Gaza has no supply for the victims, who are "by the way" being treated in ISRAELI HOSPITALS. And PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY SPENDS NO SINGLE CENT ON THEIR TREATMENT!!! Is it still obvious to you? Or NOW you are surprised?
72. Do you have anything else to sell?
Taoist ,   NY, US   (08.22.11)
What a truckload of horse manure you are selling, with this third rate "actor" visiting the wounded Palestinians, while Israel keeps on killing them day in and day out. Who's next in line for your hasbara crap? Wingnut Glenn Beck? He suits you well. Taoist
73. @avi - Liberal press say Israel is an Apartheid state
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (08.22.11)
Having lived in South Africa, I can tell you that they did NOT treat black and whites in the same hospitals. The international liberal press is trying to give Israel the same reputation, and it's working. I know Irish people who think Arabs are not allowed in Tel Aviv. That might be why he was surprised. He might read the NYtimes or such papers.
74. well done
steph ,   Gedera Israel   (08.22.11)
unfortunately we fail very badly on public relations and the palestinians beat us - for this i give them credit. but in reality, anyone with half a concious, anyone with a heart - like you Jon - my hero since i saw deliverence many years ago - understand that we are the victims, not them - we dont choose to put 1 000 000 people to sleep in bomb shelters at night, we dont allow our "gunmen" to shoot rockets into peoples homes from hospitals and schools. we want peace so much - for both nations - missiles are not the answer
75. to #3 going against religous Chritians
ghostq   (08.22.11)
won't do you any good you live in one, especially when they got most of the votes in the Senate.
76. to #72 he won a few prises for his acting
ghostq   (08.22.11)
including his Anakonda movie. he is far from third rate. you just jelous cause you didn't got any award.
77. A real mid-day cowboy
dan ,   rehovot   (08.22.11)
kol hakavod!
78. No. 22 and No. 62 - open your eyes
Jocelyn ,   Hartville, Ohio, USA   (08.22.11)
You do not recognize the presence nor path of G-d that has been born on Mr. Beck, for if you did, you would understand what has happened inside Mr. Beck's heart. It is an immense embracing of G-d's chosen people, of the power of His early Word. This grasping is not to preach Jesus' position in the Christian faith. It is to truly stand with Jews as friends, recognizing that the early Church was itself a demon in the way Jews were treated. Mr. Beck seeks to show the world their hearts can be changed too. You two exhibit a disdain, the type of opposition that Restoring Courage is broadcasting to change :-)
79. You can see why Angelina is socially active
Shy ,   Israel   (08.22.11)
Dear Jon, its an honor to have people like you true friends of Israel. It is more than appreciated that not only that you support, but also you do something about it. Thank you.
80. Israel loves you john
Rami ,   Be'er Sheva   (08.22.11)

84. Jon Voight's visit to Israel.
Terry L. Cullen ,   North Bend / USA   (08.22.11)
I am very proud of Mr Voight that he had done and said what was said. I am pro Israel. My heart goes out to Israel as a Country and its People.
85. I Love Jon Voight! G-D Bless him Always!
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (08.22.11)
Thank you to this wonderful American who always speaks out for Israel!
86. Shocked?
Paola Button ,   Washington DC USA   (08.24.11)
He can't probably peddle his racist show in the states so he takes it to Israel where it's met with applause. The man is an idiot.
87. Jon Voight for Israel
Jean Terry ,   Salem, Oregon USA   (07.24.12)
I was so pleased to see a "Hollywood" star stand for Israel. It is unusual and should be across the board. As he said, the US should be Israel's best friend!
