1. THEY ARE THE REAL HOLLYWOOD STARS AND GREAT PEOPLE THANKS
David   (02.25.08)
2. WOW!!!! that's so nice!!!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (02.25.08)
3. Sderot residents.
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (02.25.08)
All the Jewish population in Israel and abroad should support the people of Sderot. But even if the IDF invade Gaza.don't have unrealistic expectations; Don't overreact to bad news or future terrorist attacks; Do be alert; and Do put aside political differences in order to present a unified front against radical Islam. Never forget our strength is in our unity. Lets hear the opinion of a US General about fighting terrorism at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/02/us-general-explains-how-to-fight.html
4. Fantastic
NYC Girl   (02.25.08)
Maybe now the untenable conditions that the residents of Sderot have been living under will finally get some attention. Thanks to the media, all we ever hear about in this country is how people in Gaza are suffering. Now we'll get to see who the cause of all that suffering really is.
5. AMIT Schools in Sderot.
Aaron ,   Israel and USA   (02.25.08)
Visit: www.amitchildren.org Providing education without discrimination to students of Sderot including some of the students visiting LA.
6. I'm thinkin' the pic of Sylvester is inappropriate however!!
Talula ,   Israel   (02.25.08)
I'm sure there's a better one in the archives - NOT dressed in combat gear. LOL!
7. What a great program
Chaim ,   Jerusalem   (02.25.08)
My hats off to the people of LA. What a way of showing love.
8. Fantastic.....thank you
Freejay ,   Israel   (02.25.08)
Thanks for caring and helping the people of Sderot. Can you also hold another concert to call for the removal of corrupt Olmert? His appeasing policies are the reason Sderot is being bombarded in the first place!
9. TO THOSE WHO BASH HOLLYWOOD
petra ,   USA   (02.25.08)
TIME TO SAY 'I'M SORRY'. THESE ARE A REPRESENTATION OF WHAT'S GOOD WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. MOST 'LIBERAL' SHOW PEOPLE GIVE UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF THEIR TIME TO HELP MANY UNFORTUNATES AND NEVER GET A PUBLIC THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT TRUE KINDNESS AND LOVE MEANS. EVERYONE SHOULD BE THIS GIVING. BETCHA MEL GIBSON WONT BE THERE.
10. No. 9 Petra
NYC Girl   (02.25.08)
While I agree that there are many people in the entertainment industry who are very generous with both their time and their money, some of the people who are mentioned in this particular endeavor, like John Voigt and Sylvester Stallone, probably wouldn't categorize themselves as liberals. I don't know what Paula Abdul's particular political affiliation is, but being Jewish, that may be her reason for taking part in the concert. In fact, the unfortunate reality is that the majority of Hollywood liberals, many of whom are Jews, don't do nearly as much as they could to support Israel, and I'm saying this as a liberal Democrat myself.
11. Bravo Paula!
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.25.08)
You make your family and your people proud. Now just wear a Star of David on AI and we'll be all set!
12. How sad..
Natan ,   USA   (02.25.08)
How sad it is that Holywood cares about Sderot more than their own government!!! Bravo Holywood!!!!
13. HOW MANY OF THOSE LIBERAL IDIOTS WILL VOTE OBAMA?
david ,   usa   (02.25.08)
so confused are our hollywood stars
14. Just posted this on Facebook's American Idol page
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (02.25.08)
15. SO STUPID - DONT DO THIS - ABDUL AND STALONE ?
andrew ,   miami,fl   (02.25.08)
16. And now I posted it on American Idol!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (02.25.08)
17. NYC Girl
Dovid ,   modiin   (02.26.08)
It is because of the liberals that we have a Sderot problem.
18. sderot
miri ,   jerusalem israel   (02.26.08)
good going, Paula! keep up the good work.I hope a lot of money is raised just to show 'certain people' that we care about the people of sderot and are doing something useful, not sitting on our backsides and doing nothing. Is there anywhere else in the WORLD that there would be a situation like there is in Sderot and no-one does anything about it?
19. #17 100% CORRECT.
Miriam ,   Israel   (02.26.08)
Bleeding hearts are the cause of all of Israel's security problems. One day, these people will wake up and see the damage they have caused.
20. BRAVO HOLLYWOOD !!!!
alon frank ,   ramat beth shemesh,   (02.26.08)
I am very proud of this initiative from the hollywood stars. may G-d bless you all. this proves that you really have a heart. the situation is unbearable there. we have been there too and we have seen it all.
21. Don't overdo it. They might want to stay.
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (02.26.08)
Feted like celebrities themselves - tours, games, free iPods - and exposed to the glamour of Hollywood and LA, some of these kids might be encouraged to return later. (There's already a sizable community of Israelis in LA.) Sort of misses the point of this visit.
22. # 10 new york girl
petra ,   USA   (02.26.08)
PERHAPS WE SHOULD WELCOME KINDNESS WHEN IT COMES. THERE ARE PLENTLY OF IGNORANT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. I'M REMINDED THAT MANY SHOW PEOPLE GIVE TREMENDOUSLY FOR THE CAUSE IN WHICH THEY BELIEVE. FRANK SINATRA RAISE OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS FOR ABUSED KIDS. SELDOM DO WE HEAR ABOUT IT. THE REST YOU MENTION CAN GO TO HELL. NOT WORTH THE POWDER TO BLOW THEM UP, AND I SAY THIS ALSO AS A DEMOCRAT.
23. # 17 DOVID EXCUSE ME BUT,
petra ,   usa   (02.26.08)
WASN'T IT SHARON NOT A LIBERAL WHO INSISTED ON MOVING THE SETTLERS TO MAKE BUSH HAPPY? IS OLMERT A LIBERAL OF JUST FOOLISH? ONE BIG REASON OBAMAS GOT STEAM IS THE CONSERVATIVE MANIAC, BUSH.
