Jon Voight, the Oscar-winning actor and father of actress Angelina Jolie, says he is “heartsick” about two fellow Academy Award winners who denounce Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide.”
“I am more than angry,” Voight writes in a guest column published in The Hollywood Reporter. “I am heartsick that people like Penelope Cruz and Javiar Bardem could incite anti-Semitism all over the world and are oblivious to the damage they have caused.”
Voight penned the column in support of Israel’s offensive against the terrorist group Hamas in response to an open letter signed by Cruz (“Vicky Cristina Barcelona”), Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”‘), and other prominent figures in the Spanish film industry. That letter demanded the European Union “condemn the bombing by land, sea and air against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip.”
