Jesus was never crucified nor killed, but was raised up- “..Then God seeing danger of his servant, commanded Gabriel, Michael, Rafael and Uriel, his ministers, to take Jesus out of the world. The holy angels came and took Jesus out by the window that looketh toward the South…” (Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 215 )
32. Hollywood
Cassie ,   Knoxville, TN   (04.12.12)
Hollywood is shameful, sinful, and embarrassing.
33. As always! GREAT article Mr. Meotti!
Israeli 2   (04.12.12)
The only thing is that: 1) This is old news 2) Whatever you wrote is a known fact.
34. A Basis for Peace
Bill ,   New York, USA   (04.12.12)
The one thing that Americans, Israelis and Iranians should be able to agree upon is that "The Nanny" should be banned. Perhaps then this can be the basis for reconciliation.
35. Thanks Mr. Meotti - Excellent, informative article
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (04.12.12)
I support Israel and will avoid the artists who boycott or demonise Israel. Israel has achieved tremendously despite the odds. It's a " psychological " puzzle why artists who also like to "achieve", yet still feel the need to put Israel and it's achievements down.
36. Boycott Hollywood!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (04.12.12)
Hollywood is the lowest scum on the earth. Their own reality lost within their own world of make-believe. Who cares what these pathetic animals' think? Their satanic movies are as perverse and sick as their souls'. Soon, Hell will be greatly enlarged after God's coming judgment. God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem! A Christian Zionist
37. Hollywood: Sin City!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (04.12.12)
Action...roll: Praying that God's wrath, soon, destroys this evil place!
38. I just don't have the time
Ron ,   OC US   (04.12.12)
For Hollywood any longer. I'll keep my money. Since when does Jane or the lesbian Cynthia Nixon have any claim to moraity.

True but it is another legitimizaion of antisemitism disguised as anti Israel. We should show them all for what they are, plain antisemites, which by the way is the only hatred that's not "racist", but sancftioned by all the elites.
40. Most of the mentioned here are just a bunch
arlene   (04.12.12)
of drugies, in and out of marriages, over paid numbsculls who feel its the "IN" thing to go against Israel. they are painted celebraties and I for one would hate their life. But lets be honest...DO WE REALLY CARE WHAT THEY THINK??? AM Israel Chai Hag samach Shabbat Shalom!

Holy Wood   (04.12.12)
cannot generalize about the whole of Hollywood. One has to denounce every ugly actor and actress who are doing cheap anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli propaganda instead of really focusing on their trade. No wonder why nearly all the mentioned names in Mr Meotti's article are petty redundant actors nowadays. Are they maybe trying to come back into the spotlights by riding the new Islamofascist bandwagon?! They should know better. Many such hate-filled actors have long passed into oblivion.

deavman ,   Acco, Israel   (04.12.12)
You know if they kill civilians just for the purpose of killing so that they can terrorize the whole population, that is terrorism. Simple. Not self defense, not the right to fight for freedom, nothing else...terrorism. Anyone trying to justify such behavior is an accomplice to murder. Very simple.
44. Meotti's next
horst ,   ge   (04.12.12)
it seems his next article is Eskimos against Israel. He is also working on Amazon Indians against Israel Will there ever be an end to the unrelenting drivel from this clueless wop
45. Is Meotti writing these articles to order?
Tomek ,   Poland   (04.12.12)
It always looks better when pro-Israeli propaganda, no matter how ridiculous, comes from a foreigner's mouth. It gives it an appearance of credibility and objectivity. Actually, I am quite willing to write this stuff myself. My price is 25 pieces of silver per article, that is, 5 pieces less than the going rate.

53. Ironic
sashaba ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.12.12)
All those American Jews in all those upper positions in Hollywood, and none of them would produce ONE pro-Israel movie. It's all gotta be either "unbiased", or actually anti-Israel. Gotta give airtime for "both narratives", and since moviewatchers love an underdog, the "Palestinians" are shown as such, just because they don't have the military hardware that Israel has. One - JUST ONE pro-Israel movie from Hollywood - PLEASE.

"you have waged war on all the arab nations of the middle east..." sorry to tell you the true fcts, but israel never ever waged war on any arab nation. IT IS YOU ARABS THAT STARTED THE WARS IN 48, 56, 67, 73, 2006, 2008...AND ON AND ON. hameed aboughaze, iranian
55. The Hollywood Credo
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (04.12.12)
What would you expect from people who live on pedestals in total extravagance, while bemoaning the lot of the poor and disadvantaged? What would you expect from people who object to religious teachings because they are not politically correct? What would you expect from people whose stature in society exists because they play the roles of other people? There is no mystery as to why they are as they are. The mystery is why so many people are influenced by them.
56. Giulio, this time it's too much !
Andre ,   clichy, France   (04.12.12)
1. It's not Hollywood: most of the films and artists you mention are British, Swiss, Danish, Greek.. Not American. 2. You have made a whole article around a handful of activists who represent nothing but themselves. Long gone are the days of glory for poor Vanessa Redgrave, now condemned to minor supporting roles !..Mikis who ?!!!(Thought he was dead !). 3. You ignore those, the greatest number by far, and much more influential who support Israel: Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, Keanu Reeves, Harrison Ford, Polanski, Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Steven Spielberg, Helen Mirren, Michael Lonsdale...Jews and gentiles alike 4. Hollywood, on the contrary, has produced an enormous amount of anti-Arab films that depict them as terrorists and useless bastards. That will have long-lasting effects on the perception of the American public. The damage to their image IS done !

Point acknowleged! Anti-Israel' /'anti-zionism' is a disguise to hide the anti-semitism that clearly drives the delegitimisation movement against Israel which I'm well aware of and should have made that clearer in my post!
