Nina ,   NYC   (07.21.12)
Not a word about how those homes once belong to others who were forcefully removed. No wonder his daughter hates his guts.
2. Jon Voight is a great friend of the Jewish
Reuven   (07.21.12)
People and the State of Israel. He is a friend without equal to us.
3. Nina #1
Paul ,   South Africa   (07.21.12)
Are you referring to the settlers like you living on stolen Red Indian lands ? Thats very admirable of you.
4. To Yada,Yada
Rick ,   USA   (07.21.12)
Continue to live in your world of imagination,about all those homes belonging to someone else. Pure unadulterated BS. Hell, half of Germany ,Poland and Ukraine are living in Jewish homes so what? How about the 800,000 Jews forced out of their homes in Arab lands? They were given a new start in Israel. Palestinian just live on in a nether world of hate and hopelessness. Don't blame others for your own stupidity.
5. Nina , they left to "return in the footsteps"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.21.12)
of the "victorious" arab armies who would have thrown the Jews in the sea . Most believed what their leaders told them , and left vuluntarely . But he is 100 % right . Jews contributed MORE than any other people to Humanity .
6. Thank You.
Moshe ,   Israeal   (07.21.12)
A true friend of Israel. Thanks a lot for all your support.
7. Wonderful man Voight, but he's wrong on the point of
tom ,   tel aviv   (07.21.12)
world's failure to "protect Sderot". It is my own government, that willingly fails to defend this and other communities. By going down the chain of responsibility it can be said with certainty, that governments do, what they feel people demand them to. In this case "my People" do not expect otherwise. They are too busy protesting against the big, bad, rich-people!
8. Canada and the United States
(07.21.12)
Have internationally established borders recognised by the International Community. Israel does not. Canada and the United States are at peace with each other, Isrel and Palestine are not. I have no doubt Voight's motives are honourable, but he is very naieve
9. Isreal refuses to defend itself..The faut lies with Israel
Al   (07.21.12)
Why was Israel founded? So that Jews may finally have a home. Protect your country or you will be history. If you are a Jew living in Israel and you refuse to protect yourself and ytour country then you have no one to blame but yourself.
10. Why criticize him when he is trying help?
David ,   Israel   (07.21.12)
This is a reason why Jews and Israelis are disliked. Your critical of people that are trying to help out of good will

rafi ,   sderot, israel   (07.21.12)
Actually, Israel's borders are recognised by the international community (except by the Arabs and other anti-semites). Israel and the Pals are not at peace because of the Arabs incapability to live in peace. Before you condemn Israel, why don't you ask why Arafat stole billions instead of taking his people out of refugee camps ? Ask why Arafat signed a peace treaty one day, and literally hours later, endorsed mass terrorist attacks against Israel. The Palestinians are not living in peace because they are far more interested in "running the Jews into the sea".
12. The silence from ALL,,,
Curtis ,   USA   (07.21.12)
the nations concerning the abuse Israel has received and continues to receive is absolutely shameful. Those responsible for this silence and unhelpfulness are going to have a huge amount of hard answering to do for their behavior on Judgment Day, As Yahweh said: "It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God", and "I am not a man that I should lie". Yahweh also said He has very special plans for Israel, so the talk on these forums of Israel being annihilated is just total rubbish.
13. Jon Voight
agokoy ,   cebu   (07.21.12)
He is completely right, on the fact that the world simply turns a blind eye to the daily bombings and other terrorist acts by the Gaza Arabs. There should have been an outcry and protests, and sanctions, and condemnations ----- but nothing!!! The UN, UNSC, HRW and all those pro Arab organizations ---- what a pachydermal skinned bunch of racists.
14. there was never a country called paleatine
ranjan ,   la   (07.21.12)
Anybody thinks that there was a country called palestine ruled by arabs then answer following questions. Who was the Prime minister, President or King of that country and when? What was its economy? What was its currency? What was its capital city? How long this country existed before 1948?
15. Sderot & Jon Voight
Proud Israeli ,   yokneam Israel   (07.21.12)
Thank you Jon Voight for speaking the truth about Israel and the Jewish people. Nina in NYC, do you know for a fact that Sderot is part of land taken from Arabs? you are talking left wing anti-zionist, anti-jewish BS. Israel evacuated Gaza, yet Hamas continues to send thousands of rockets over to kill and innocent civilians in Sderot and other communities in southern Israel. You would be singing a different tune if Canada was rocketing NYC!
16. JON VOIGHT,WE LOVE YOU AND WE
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (07.21.12)
We respect you. Israel needs more friends such as Mr .Voight who is smart enough to realize that the jewish people have contributed much good to humanity .Of course ,there is always much more good to be done.Mr Voight too makes the world a nicer and better place because of his presence in it. I salute him .
17. Thank You Jon Voight
DavidM ,   USA   (07.21.12)
Jon Voight is a true friend of Israel. He has been outspoken in his support and does it from his heart. He has nothing to gain and knows that he will be subject to the venom of the BDS activists. Unlike others he has chosen to stand up for the security of Israel. Thank you Jon Voight.
18. I wonder how much he was paid!!!

Marco ,   Spain   (07.21.12)
"Actually, Israel's borders are recognised by the international community (except by the Arabs and other anti-semites). " Lets see, Arabs and anti-Semites, that should make about 90 percent of planet earth...hmmmm.
20. The problem with Jon Voight is his age...
Marco ,   Spain   (07.21.12)
Probably Alzheimer is taking on toll on his brain...
21. Jon Voight
The Lady   (07.21.12)
is a man with a beautiful character. I admire what he is doing for the Jewish people and he deserves to receive an award for the work he does on behalf of the Jewish people. How I envy him for doing exactly what I wish I could do. Keep up the wonderful work, Mr. Voight. You will be blessed.
22. How can we send a thank you to him?

23. well put Jon. now tell Hollywood elite

Louis Fried ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.21.12)
Neither Canada nor USA are committed to the destruction of each other. Neither one launches rockets or mortars at the other. Contrast that with Israel and its "peaceful" neighbors Hamas and Hizbullah.
25. Re: Alzheimer's - #20
Kate ,   London, UK   (07.21.12)
That is an excellent description of Spain's economy.
26. #18 You wonder how much he was paid
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (07.21.12)
And i wonder what rat hole you came out of.I remember since i was a little kid Jon Voight was extremely pro Israel and pro Jewish Now back in your rat hole #`18.
27. Oh Marco
Eyal ,   USA Israel   (07.21.12)
Still using your grade 2 brain of yours? Don't you know that 1 Jew = to 1000 or more Arabs. Your calculation of 90% is what your leaders want you to believe, but that's OK, we've accepted dummies on this board before.
28. It's time for the world to recognize the true
Eyal ,   USA Israel   (07.21.12)
intentions of the racists Arabs. I can't wait for the big was, where Arabs are no longer.
29. #12 Marco" Polo" in Jew Hating Spain
Spain"sImpureSoul ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.21.12)
It really would seem it is you who have advanced Altzheimers it does happen in youth combined with tradition blind hate ingrained in Catholic Spain's "culture " of Jew hate . Racism is a sign of an impure spirit cleanse yourself before it eats you up.
