32. but he's nuts
Larry ,   Hollywood, FL   (07.21.12)
Voight's pro-Jewish and pro-Israel sentiments are genuinely touching, but their value is diminished by the fact that he's a complete right-wing lunatic on the American domesic scene.

I see that you're still unemployed. Well like I told you I'm still renovating and there's still some construction rubbish to be disposed of, so as soon as you get your work visa in israel you're more than welcome down here. The rubbish is waiting and I'm sure you could use a few extra pesetas. Hasta luego perdedor)))

Yosef Y. MSc' ,   USA   (07.21.12)
Not only #18 comment is moronic and hateful, but also cowardly - would not even sign a name or other ID - characteristic of Antisemitic crap.
36. Patronizing?
Benjamine ,   L.A.   (07.21.12)
There ususaly is a lot guilt in someone for something when one overly patronizes Jews. What is Jon Voight seeking from the Jewsih people. He is a washed actor, he's not in politics maybe it's his German ancestor past, undercover Nazi's have hidden amonst us for decades, they make movies about these seemingly beniegn allies,,,,, Patronizing?

Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (07.21.12)
First of all not all Germans are Nazis as well as most German Americans don't hate Jews.As far as Jon Voight being German not that it matters his mothers Grandparents came from Germany so they can hardly be nazis.His father is a Slovak and he changed his name to Voight from a hard to pronounce Slovak name
38. Jon Voight
Eric ,   Toronto   (07.21.12)
When I was young I was in love with him for his good looks, now that we are both older, I am in love with for the great man he is! God bless him.

It seems honesty is not the strongest side of anti-Semites. It seems mathematics is not the strongest side of the anti-Semites either. The human race consists of 7 billion people. About 300 million of them are Arabs. Even if we assume that all 1.5 billion Moslems are anti-Semites that's still less than 22% of the human race. If we talk about 300 million Arabs only, it's less than 4.5% of the human race. The vast majority of the people of USA, Canada, China and India have nothing against Jews. There already you have at least 39-40% of the human race who have nothing against Jews. The number is probably even higher if you add many countries all over the world. Israel's legal borders are recognized - by the San Remo treaty and the Anglo-American treaty signed 3rd of December 1924 in London UK.
41. Questions for nr 1 Nina: What "Palestinian" people?
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.21.12)
And what "occupation" are you talking about? Occupation according to International Law means that State A has conquered State B as a result of war. No "Palestinian" state existed in 1967, 1949, 1948, 1947, or 100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000, 10.000 or 100.000 years ago. You use the invented "Palestinian" people as an excuse to hate and destroy Israel. You care nothing for the "Palestinians". 1) Why is "Palestine" a Roman/Latin name? 2) Why is there no letter "p" in Arabic? 3) Nationalism is alien to Arabs who have, for 1400 years, lived as nomads and Beduins in multi-ethnic and multi-racial "Arab" empires whose majority population - locals, subjects, soldiers, mercenaries, scientists, mathematicians, physicians and merchants, were no ethnic Arabs, merely Arab speaking Persians, Kurds, Turks, Jews, Berbers and Africans. Why is that? 4) There is no "Palestine" in the Bible or the Koran. Why? 5) The Bible and the Koran BOTH admit that Israel is the Jewish homeland. How come? 6) Jewish/Israelite history started 2000 B.C.E in Israel - 4000 years ago. Arab history of the original Arabians, started in the 7th century C.E. 1400 years ago, in the southwestern corner of the Arabian peninsula, hundreds of kilometers away from Israel, 2600 years AFTER the start of Jewish civilization. How can Arabs be the "natives" of Israel? 7) Most Arabs arrived in Israel as recently as the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. How is that ancient history and how does that make "Palestinians" the "natives"? 8) When and where exactly did a "Palestinian" state, republic, nation state, kingdom, city state, duchy, principality or empire exist in recorded history, what are the names of kings and dynasties, cities, towns, villages and currency and why is there not a single ancient civilization mentioning anywhere any "Palestinian" state, civilization, nation or people? Why do many ancient civilizations in the Middle East speak of Jews and Israel but none of them ever speaks of a "Palestinian" people, state or country? "Palestinians"/Arabs/Moslems are as "native" to Israel as you are to North America. Angelina Jolie? She can go to hell and she should grow some braincells.

WereadYnet ,   Harlem N.Y.   (07.22.12)
It would be nice if you would tell us what you really want to say. You didn't comment on the article, I believe you have some comprehension issues. Do you want to comment on the artiicle or tell us what you are really trying to say and mean. Maybe you are informimg us who you are employed by, is it Troll specialist Inc. or Children of the Dark Side PPSDD. Do you have any thoughts on Jon Voight's undying lovefor the Jewish people.
54. #41 Bravo the Mother of All Replies !!!

55. The Provenance of the Palestains
ZbaH ,   TA   (07.22.12)
Nina, you fool. The invented people came to Eretz Yisrael from all over the Muslim-occupied world, simply to counter legitimate Jewish return. No wonder the non-dhimmified world hates their guts.
56. To Yada yada yada
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (07.22.12)
My family is originally from Turkey and I was born and raised there. Even in the most modern of all Muslim nations - Turkey - before there was a state of Israel, in 1941 a law passed to grossly over tax the Jews and since they did not have enough money to pay, send them to labor camps in Ashkale. As if this was not enough they sent all the younger Jews to a so called military service which really was labor camps in Afyon and Yozgat. During that time Jews lost all their belongings up to their cooking pots and pans, carpets, furniture. Even after the law was repealed nothing was returned. This is when the largest migration of Jews out of Turkey happened. Population went from over 100 thousand to 20 thousand today. Same year (1941) Iraq expelled its Jewish population by force that was over 100 thousand. On the other hand; In Israel there are over 1 Million Israeli Jews today. In 1947 this number was a lot less than this below 500 thousand.
57. MArco from Sapin and Alzheimer's desease
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (07.22.12)
Aren't the Spanish who expelled my Sephardi Ancestors out of Spain? I doubt Mr. Voight has Alzheimer but forgetting that huge fact suggests that you are already in the advanced stages of it. Unfortunately there is no cure for it.
58. Anton. About John Voight
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (07.22.12)
He is not Jewish. He is from German Ancestry born and raised in the Bronx among Sephardi Jews many from the Eastern Mediterranean including Turkey, Greece and ex Yugoslavia. He made a lot of money for himself not only with the movies that he played but also those that he financed. He is not in the payroll of anybody. He is well traveled and I bet you that not only he can locate Israel on the map where he has traveled many times but I know for a fact that he can also point out to Diyarbakir and Gaziantep on the map very precisely. But let me ask yo a question: Before I have asked you this and you have Googles it could you be able to tell me where the city of Likasi is? Did you even know in which country it is?
59. To # 3, 4, 5
Harold ,   USA   (07.22.12)
Nina #1 is completely right.
60. Nina com poop
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (07.22.12)
Nina, get over your hatred. Are you referring to the mythical "Phillistinians"? Many left there homes, but few were force from them. They are newcomers to the region. If institutionalized hatred of Israel and Jews ceases, and the Phillistinians stop chosing terrorists and despots for their leaders, perhaps their is a chance that we can live in peace and side by side. John Voight is a great supporter of Israel and a friend of the Jewish People. Though I'm not judging his daughter, she does have a reputation for being quite unstable emotionally and mentally. She's the last person I would ask for her political opinions. Nevertheless, I wish her well. You on the other hand, should seek something to alleviate your tension and intense racist attitutde towards Jews and Israel. Ohaddee al zoobree.
