Angelina Jolie‘s ideology made her father, actor Jon Voight, too angry and he ended up calling her a “liar.” The 1978 Oscar winner for his role in Coming Home, criticized the recent statements made by the actress about the armed conflict between Hamas and Israel.
What Did Jon Voight Said about Angelina Jolie’s Statements?
Jolie shared social media posts against Israel for “deliberately bombing children, women and families who lack food, medicine and humanitarian aid.” Jon, who has shown sympathy for Trump, said he was disappointed in his daughter because “like many others, she does not understand the honor of God, the truths of God.”
He also took the space to talk about the conflict: “This is about destroying the history of God’s land, the Holy Land, the land of the Jews. This is about justice for the children of God of the Holy Land. The Israeli army must protect its soil and its people. This is war. It will not be what the left thinks, it can no longer be a civilian issue.”
“Israel was attacked by inhumane terror on innocent babies, mothers, fathers, grandparents. You fools, who call Israel the problem, should look at yourselves and ask yourselves who I am. What am I? Ask God if you are getting the truth, or if you are being lied to and just following others. Those who understand the truth see the lie.”
“These animals want to exterminate Jews and Christians. They see that the Palestinians do not lack funding. They have been given huge infusions of money, which they did not share with the people. Instead, they made weapons, to their anger. The people of Israel care for the people. They love and cherish. Something these animals do not understand. Justice will prevail,” he added.
In addition to his work in film, the actor is known for his political activism and his support for the Republican Party, something that is not in the good graces of other celebrities in Hollywood.
What Did Angelina Jolie Say about Israel?
The statements that made Angelina Jolie’s dad angry were the following: “What happened in Israel is an act of terror. But that cannot justify the loss of innocent lives by bombing a civilian population in Gaza that has nowhere to go, no access to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic human right to cross a border to seek refuge.”
He also mentioned that Gaza was fast becoming a “mass grave” because of Israel’s airstrikes and that “the world watches” as “millions of Palestinian civilians, children, women and families are collectively punished.” So far, more than 9,700 people have died, victims of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, according to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza.
