Jon Voight to Obama: You are harming Israel and promoting anti-Semitism

In an open letter in The Washington Times, staunch Republican actor writes: You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel.

American actor and staunch Republican Jon Voight has submitted a public letter to The Washington Times, in which he accused President Barack Obama of putting Israel in harm's way and promoting anti-Semitism across the world.

"You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies," wrote Voight, who last year called Obama a false prophet.


"You have done just the opposite. You have propagandized Israel, until they look like they are everyone's enemy - and it has resonated throughout the world," he wrote. "You are putting Israel in harm's way, and you have promoted anti-Semitism throughout the world."

"You have brought this to a people who have given the world the Ten Commandments and most laws we live by today. The Jewish people have given the world our greatest scientists and philosophers, and the cures for many diseases, and now you play a very dangerous game so you can look like a true martyr to what you see and say are the underdogs," he wrote.

"But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals who want Israel eradicated."

"You have brought to Arizona a civil war, once again defending the criminals and illegals, creating a meltdown for good, loyal, law-abiding citizens. Your destruction of this country may never be remedied, and we may never recover. I pray to God you stop, and I hope the people in this great country realize your agenda is not for the betterment of mankind, but for the betterment of your politics," he added.

Voight signed off his letter by writing: "With heartfelt and deep concern for America and Israel."

What a load of drivel. The hyperbole used in American politics is ridiculous. I think Obama is too apologetic to the Muslim/Arab world but he has by no means lied to the Jewish people or has American ceased to defend Israel.

first the name Barack is from Barackallah, in the form that the nigerians use during islamic occasion when they say "Barika". Mubarack of Egypt is a different version of the same name. Hussaine is his middle name and Obama is purely an african of Kenya extraction.

somebody needs to tell jon voight that america is an independent country. the friends of america should not be permanent but based on the beneficial agenda of America, first abd mutual benefit with the friend a distant second. for if aerica is not powerful, her name will be dump and the clamoring friends will find another powerful friend to protect them.

finally, jon voight needs to know that the ethnicity of those who are semitic extend beyond the jews or israelites. the majority of the semites are not of children of israel, so how foolish can he and his cohorts be to claim semitism for the jews, only.


can enugu says she ids the only igbo people and no one else is? this s the same situation. arabs and others are semites. am semite and i am not jewish neither by religion nor by ethnicity of bloodline.

Excellent statement! In addition, it's time Israel and Jewish leaders stop playing the victim game. The rest of the world cannot remain censored for their sake.

As there are extreme Islamic preachers so are extreme christian preachers, yours davidylan is turning into thuggery.

Do you ever think through the things you write. And still those Muslim nations sell you oil, they hold your debts in bonds, apart from China.

No wonder someone said you hold a Phd. I guess it must be in madness.

Can you ever be a better american than Hamzah Yusuf, a white man that Laura Bush invited to the joint houses' speech and the president took his advise from calling the war againsy Al Qaidah and Thawliban "crusade"? In your entire life, if you ived to be 2000 years on american soil, you will always be a naturalized. But there are many Muslim whites, blacks and in between whose bloodlines go as far as Mayflower. Are you saying that they mean no "good" for america? A country they know as their only country, a homeland? Are you going to say that the muslim tax payers are not benefitting america?

How about congressman Eliss from Minnesota? Is he among the haters of America?

You must be drunk with foolishness. Wake up and smell the reality coffee before you die of ignorance. Your mind is a waste. You will tell Imam Suraj Wahhaj that you are a better "american" now, and he does not love america, a country where his bloodline reaches hundreds of years? Ridiculous.

Well, with all of hollywood and celebrities constantly licking on Obama's behind, it is a welcome development to see anyone not join the backside-kissing . . . whether or not his opinion has a hole or two in it

The middle east does not sell America oil because they like America. They sell us oil because they like our money.

@JeSoul: we trade with the arabs, for their oil. so we have to pay them in the internationally agreed upon currency, the USD. or what do you suggest that we pay them as the accepted currency, which opec that governs oil trades agreed upon?

few years ago, euro was drumming that Euro becomes the international currency for trades. China was talking RMB, too. America lobbied and made sure that our currency the green bag is what is used. Reason you may not know, is that the USD floats very easily, beating other currencies that are stronger than it, because each time some funding is issued in USD, in any trade, it is as if USD has given the funder some loans, which he must pay service fees/ Imagine 2 basis point of 1% of 2 billion USD, overnight? thats some serious change to the coffer of the USD.

if you are setting financial policies in any of the agencies or banks in america, you will be fired by your speech which is similar to the women or man on the street, without any financial suffistication.

Do you intend to run american economy with water and spit? soon you will be calling for the US government not to issue the treasury bonds to the creditor chinese.

In God we trust. That paper has no gold baxking it, except the rest of the world loves the economy leadership, and the hospitality of the United States. You want the arabs to give us oil for nothing? do we give them USD for nothing? In the fashion of the french saying you are speaking chinese.

JeSoul:

The middle east does not sell America oil because they like America. They sell us oil because they like our money.

Yan yan yan yan yan. Just like a baby learning her first words. Still you have a high financial deficit, you think every barrel of oil that ships to the US is readily paid for in cash?

I think the number of ignoramus on this site is appreciating.

WAIT STOP!! REPUBLICAN   Jon Voight?!  That says it all, a man claiming that one president in just a mear two years has destroyed America while ignoring the actions of the dumb @ss before him, and the 4-5 presidents before him?! I swear republican hypocrisy will bring this country down someday.

I am surprise that anyone is taken aback by jon voight's statement,a republican,what else do you expect from members of a party that had in recent decades never like peace,always create war;so their cronies can benefit,benefiting them indirectly.did you guys forget how many companies came from nothing to super rich status through bush's war?
