31. Jon Voight, A fine man
RayS ,   N.H., USA   (08.21.11)
Jon Voight has been and is a steady "winter soldier". He can be counted on always. Unlike Senator Joe Lieberman and Representative Cantor ,truly "sunshine soldiers " who run away where the decisions are tough (they flee the Beck Rally for political fears) , Mr Voight is a real Mensch. The Republican party should dump Mr Cantor if they want to win in 2012.

bob ,   canada   (08.21.11)
well, your smug Arab responce confirms old western saying: No good deed goes unpunished.
33. No. 3 Avi
NYC Girl   (08.21.11)
That's a rather specious comparison you've made inasmuch as Jews are not the enemy of the Poles or the Germans. However, Israeli hospitals are treating residents of Gaza, many of whom no doubt are supporters of Hamas...that gang of barbaric thugs who are responsible for murderous attacks against Israelis, which makes them an enemy of the State.
34. Jon Voight The Greatest
Roy Chweidan ,   Netanya. Israel   (08.21.11)
We welcome you with open arms and affection Jon. You are a man of the greatest truth and righteousness and a brother of our Jewish people. Roy Chweidan. Jewish State of Israel.
35. Mr. Voight, Thank You!
Ori   (08.21.11)
This country should be proud having a true friend like you - A great actor and a GREAT MAN standing here in a time of crisis. Thank You - This visit means a lot!
36. Jon Voigt
Maureen   (08.21.11)
Thank you Mr Voigt for being the wonderful friend to Israel that you are... truly a man with a huge heart. You will be blessed when you stand before Him, our saviour. Maybe we will meet one day and I can thank you personally. You're doing wonderful work for Israel and the Jews. Bless you, Jon voight!
37. Gaza patients pay for their treatment in the Israeli
Gaza teacher ,   Gaza   (08.21.11)
hospitals ... admittedly, Israel has the most advanced medical sysetm in the middle east .. away from the political situation , every patient coming back from israel always praises the israeli doctors and hospitals. it's only a humaitarian matter.
38. no matter what we do
abe the babe ,   USA-ISRAEL   (08.21.11)
If we told salma and avi that no body (including arabs)in the world gets the crippling disease of polio thanks to two Jewish doctors SAlk and Sabin they would accuse the Jews of putting dostors out of work. If we told them that research being done in Israeli hospitals has produced many advances in the fight against cancer they would say we are tryoing to cause over population. If we told them how Israeli rescue teams saved hundreds of earth quake victims in Japan and Haity they would say we did it to rob their jewelry. No matter what humanitarian work Jews do they do anti semites like salma and their self hating Jewish buddys like Avi they will always put a spin on it to prove how bad the Jews are. I think salma and avi would make a lovely pair together
39. #38 100% right about salma and "avi"
Justice Plz ,   Jewish homeland   (08.21.11)
40. G.Bless John Voight
R. Edward ,   PW county, US   (08.21.11)
This wonderful man from Hollywood is the exception that proves the rule about left-leaning Hollywood and the entertainment industry. For every John Voight there are tens of Julie Christies.
41. Won't get such support from his "starlet" daughter
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.21.11)
Angelina's visited Palestinian camps in Jordan and Lebanon, but to my knowledge has never visited Israel. Jon, in contrast, is a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people.
42. Heaven Bless Jon
dante ,   uk   (08.21.11)
he is an amazing man. a wonderful man. when, the world opposes the Jews or turns its back on outrages committed against them, Jon stands forward and clearly and articulately declares his support. he is inspiring, awesome>>>>
43. Salma where is Palestine?
a shitrit ,   london   (08.21.11)
Oh yes texas
44. Angelina Jolie a starlet?
Turandot ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.21.11)
45. Angelina Jolie merely a starlet?
Turandot ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.21.11)
She's been a superstar for some time now!
46. #22 Voight is in Israel for Glenn Beck
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (08.21.11)
Your talkback made me laugh. Voight will be on stage at Beck's main event on Wednesday in Jerusalem. Voight was in the audience at the first event in Caesaria today. Beck had him stand up and the audience gave Voight an ovation. I am extremely grateful to Jon Voight (who comes to all the pro-Israel rallies and the Chabad telethons) and to Glenn Beck. They are both righteous gentiles, but Beck achieved something even greater than Voight because Beck is able to reach an audience of millions in the US and internationally. This morning I watched (by live streaming) the event. I got emotional hearing the outpouring of support from the Christians who filled the amphitheater and declared their solidarity with Jews and Israel. People all over the world are doing the same as they watch via gbtv.com. For years on Ynet, I read countless TBs complaining of a lack of PR for Israel. Now Beck has done huge PR for Israel. Any Jew who criticizes Beck - is a Jew who does not love Israel.
47. Salma, Salma, Salma
(08.22.11)
Jon Voight is one of the great actors of modern times. Oscar-winner, etc.He's also a non-Jewish "Son of Noah" and an active supporter of the Chabad Movement. Where's your Oscar? (By the way, Jolie isn't a starlet. She's a star -- her name appears above the titles.)
48. to Sue, #46
dd ,   sf usa   (08.22.11)
I've got news for you Sue: Glenn Beck is an anti-Semite of the vilest sort, trading in the grossest, most primitive forms of race-baiting that have made the rounds of the USA since Father Coughlin--just remember his racist attack on George Soros, if you need reminding. Sue, he "supports" Israel because he sees the ingathering of the exiles as a prelude to their annihilation, and the coming of the Christian god to preside over a Jew-free world. I am very pleased that Jon Voight is supporting Israel against the scourge of terrorism, but it is indeed possible to do the right thing for the wrong reasons.
49. 23 Sue
Thank You Mr. Voight   (08.22.11)
I know he is with Glenn Beck along with other Christians. I am glad they have a heart for Israel. I just don't happen to be as smitten with Beck as others because I think he sometimes exploits us. Make no mistake. I love Israel with all my heart and soul. I guess we will have to agree to disagree regarding Glenn Beck but glad you enjoyed the event at Caesarea.
50. He seems like he's talking to The Champ
anonymous   (08.22.11)
The victim is lying bed and it reminds me of the scene from the movie.
51. 30 Salomon Mizrahi, Brazil: You should visit Israel and see
Rivkah   (08.22.11)
the names on plaques all over hospitals in Israel of donors and see the Jewish names in abundance who help the hospitals of Israel. As for Dustin Hoffman, a person is a Jew who is a Jew in his/her heart whether Jewish or Gentile. Perhaps he is a genetic Jew and not a Jew in his heart. But he would not have done well in Hollywood if he did not treat the Jews who control much of the entertainment industry with respect. Charlie Sheen lost his job in a top rated tv show for badmouthing his Jewish boss.
52. John Voight , salma, one of the stars of Hollywood
Daniela   (08.22.11)
... but what do you know? have you ever seen the movie "the Champ" of Franco Zeffirelli? whatch that old movie, you will see who John really is. He's too much for you ! I know ! you do not have people like that , YOUR STARS ARE THE SUICIDE BOMBERS ! THAT'S THE DIFFERENT ! I PRAY THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER HAVE A LAND ! YOU DON'T DISERVE IT.
53. #3 Avi NYC ignorant
Maxime ,   ALL ISRAELO/AMERICAN   (08.22.11)
Avi, I have had the honor to work for Jon Voight as a personal security while shooting a movie in Las Vegas. He is a wonderful person, fantastic actor and great friend of Israel. Mr. Jon Voight, you are a great man and a great actor.Thank you for the profound love you always had for Israel and the Jewish people Thank you! and God bless you.
54. to Salma 16
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (08.22.11)
You mean they kill the victim and hand out sweets and yell in glee.Your squawks are getting worse-clear your throat of the shit.
55. to no.3
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (08.22.11)
First of all, John Voight is a long time loyal supporter of Israel and of the Jewish people. Second: Could you explain, why would Germany or Poland refuse to treat a Jew in their hospitals ? And how many countries do you know, that would treat and save the lives of their sworn enemies ? Only Israel deos. You are either clueless or simply blinded with hate...whatever your name is....
56. #37 Gaza Teacher -- Please, how do Gazans pay?
Scott ,   USA   (08.22.11)
Modern medical care is very expensive, and Gazans are understood to be very poor. Is there some insurance scheme? Or is it a nominal charge?
57. Gaza pays for their treatments....
Rafi ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.22.11)
...and if they could not afford it....will they be left to die?...will paying for treatment in Arab hospitals or Iranian ones guarantee a Jew proper treatment or being released alive and free?...Common....spare us the back handed compliments...the Israeli doctors are there to save lives..Jewish, Muslim or Christians..this the difference..Jews are human....this is what many Arabs who meet them for the first time in Israel or abroad say...
58. A Great Man and a Great Actor
Ron ,   oc, us   (08.22.11)
59. to #43 Shitrit, Where is Balestine?
I'm Selma ,   Balestine Jordan   (08.22.11)
Balestine is in Jordan you fool! Don't you know?
60. #46 A righteous Israeli or of the nations
Eliyahu Konn ,   Powell, OH USA   (08.22.11)
Neither Jews nor gentiles are righteous unless they commit to learning and keeping every bit of Torah they can, all of it. You are not born in or out but it is what you do with the Torah!
