Hollywood actor Jon Voight visited Soroka Hospital in Beersheba Sunday in an effort to cheer up victims of the recent violence from Gaza – Thursday's terror attacks as well as the still ongoing rocket attacks that followed.

 

Voight, the father of starlet Angelina Jolie, is a longtime friend of the state. He has previously conducted visits in honor of Israel 60th Independence Day as well as two other occasions.

He also wrote a letter to the US president following the 2010 Gaza flotilla, accusing him of abandoning Israel to violence. Voight also took part in a rally in Los Angeles which condemned Turkey for its part in the flotilla.

 
 

 
Voight told the victims that he was deeply saddened by the attacks, and that Israel needed its friends at this time. "The US should be Israel's best friend," he said, adding that the aim of the visit was to report back on the situation to the American public.

"During my previous visit to Sderot I went looking for shelter, so I know the danger here is real," Voight told Ynet. "It is uncomfortable walking the streets here these days. I pray for all of you."

 
The celebrity visited critically wounded patients and their families, and was shocked to learn that the hospital was also treating Palestinians.

Voight said the world should know Israeli hospitals were treating terror victims alongside Palestinian patients from Gaza and Hebron, despite the shortage of medical resources.

 
"People from abroad do not understand the reality in Israel until they come here," Voight concluded. "The American public thinks Israel is strong, tough, and smart, but needs to remember that it is also humane, vulnerable, and surrounded by enemies."

Too bad his daughter is an A1 style anti-American anti-Semite.  She only gets into roles where Jews are unfortunately victims.

This has no bearing on whether Mr. John Voight is a righteous gentile at all. I am sorry that you felt a need to diminish the good deeds which Mr Voight has done, and the reward which he has accumulated for his support and his concern for Jewish people.

Every great Torah personality also had descendants which were not good, occasionally even evil descendants. The righteous quality is not passed from generation to generation, it is something which a persons soul must aspire to reach.

A real noah.

Don't be a troublemaker by reading your own thoughts into my post.  I didn't diminish him at all.  His daughter is an anti-Semite who only sympathizes with Jews when they are victims.  I didn't blame him for his daughter's attitudes--you did.

No I didn't... But you took this opportunity when he was being praised in order to mention a negative about him... I didn't do that, you did...

I happen to be very supportive of Mr. Voight and his support of Chabad.

As an aside, I did not mean any disrespect to you... I realize my wording may have been confrontational but I just wanted to get across the point that when we mention something positive about someone it often causes others to mention negative things about them. This is a part of the concept of Lashon Hara...

I dont think YSAM was trying to diminish Jon Voight and everything he does by mentioning about his daughter.

Well if that is true I am sorry for suggesting that he did... I am just very happy that John Voight is standing up for his principles. I believe he is a Noachide and he is consistent with his support for Jewish causes.

Yes, I agree.  And he is also very persuasive and charismatic.  He's certainly a great individual.

Thanks Briann.  You are 5000 percent correct.

I love Jon Voight for his courage and his love of Israel and her people.  He is a true hero of mine.  May G-d bless him and keep him strong, healthy and vital.

He was in Israel for the Glen Beck event and yet Jon Voight isn't an Evangelical
