Jon Voight Says Famous Daughter ‘Ignorant’ For Pro-Palestinian Stance

Jon Voight said his famous daughter Angelina Jolie is “ignorant” for her pro-Palestinian stance and suggested that she’s been “influenced by anti-Semitic people.”

Speaking to Variety magazine, the 85-year-old actor said that his 49-year-old actress daughter was “naive” when it comes to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas following the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7.

“She has been exposed to propaganda,” Voight said. “She’s been influenced by antisemitic people. Angie has a connection to the UN [United Nations], and she’s enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.”

“She’s ignorant of what the real stakes are and what the real story is because she’s in the loop of the United Nations,” he added, calling out the “naive” activists who claim there are millions of Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and Gaza, the outlet noted.

“They’re dupes who never get outside of their bubble,” Voight continued, noting that Jolie is one of those “naive dupes.” “She doesn’t really want to share this kind of stuff, because she’s of another mind about it.”

Voight made it clear he loves his daughter and doesn’t want to fight with her, but said that the “fact is, I think she has been influenced by the UN. From the beginning, it’s been awful with human rights. They call it human rights, but it’s just anti-Israel bashing.”

The comments came after the “Eternals” star said in a post in October on Instagram that “what happened in Israel is an act of terror.”

“But that cannot justify the innocent lives lost in 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,” Jolie’s post read.

Last year, Jolie’s father made it clear he wasn’t happy with his daughter for defending Palestinians, the New York Post noted.

“I am very disappointed that my daughter, like so many, has no understanding of God’s honor, God’s truths,” Voight said in an Instagram video at the time.

“This is about destroying the history of God’s land, the Holy Land, the Land of the Jews. This is justice for God’s children of the Holy Land,” he added.

Jolie has reportedly never responded in public to her father’s comments, the Post noted.

Black Lives Matter Rejects Anointment Of Kamala Harris As Nominee

The Black Lives Matter Organization has rejected the apparent anointment of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee.

In a tweet, the organization first listed the series of events leading up to the likely nomination of Harris, then proceeded to harshly criticize the route the Democratic Party had taken to ensure her nomination, deciding to nominate her although she had won no delegates in the primaries.

“A 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of,” BLM tweeted. “We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs. Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites. We call on the @DNC to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates.”

“Black Lives Matter is demanding the DNC immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August, just hours after VP Kamala Harris secured enough delegates for the nomination,” journalist Kat Stafford reported.

In September 2020, as Black Lives Matter riots raged through the nation, Harris praised the “brilliance” of the group, declaring, “I always am going to interpret these protests as an essential component of evolution in our country.”

The call for a democratic process would seem to conflict with the perspective purveyed by at least two of the three chief founders of BLM, Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors, who have professed fealty to Marxism. In 2015, Garza said that “social movements all over the world have used Marx and Lenin as a foundation to interrupt these systems that are really negatively impacting the majority of people.” The same year, she stated it was “not possible for a world to emerge where black lives matter if it’s under capitalism, and it’s not possible to abol­ish capitalism without a struggle against national oppression.”

Cullors has stated baldly, “I do believe in Marxism. It’s a philosophy that I learned really early on in my organizing career.”

Cullors has said of herself and Garza, “We are trained Marxists.”

BLM deleted a page from its website that had propounded a theory that would fit well within a Marxist philosophy, stating, “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”
