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.

By Haaretz Service

June 24, 2010 "Haaretz" -- 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."
