The global attitude towards Israel's security situation has become a joke, with many nations treating it as a simplistic issue: dictating to Israel to back off and not protect its citizens.
It's as if saying this to Israel will somehow resolve itself over time.
However, in real war with over 3000 terrorists breaking into Israel in over 75 places murdering and kidnapping 1500 innocent men women and children, even Hollywood cannot predict the outcome of the war.
In the movies the producer gets to create the end result, and this is something Hollywood must accept, as it’s beyond their control.
The reality is far more complex and dangerous than that.
For over 70 years, Israel has been facing relentless attacks from Arab countries seeking its destruction. This small country, smaller in size than New Jersey, is surrounded by hostile neighbors who launch rockets into its territory daily.
It's so hard for the western world to come out with a statement stating Israel has the right to defend itself against such barbarism and condemn how shameful it is of how the world has turned a blind eye to Israel’s plight.
Recent events, such as the rocket attack by Hezbollah that killed 12 children in a soccer field, highlight the brutal nature of the cold-blooded Hezbollah terror organization and its attacks on civilians.
Despite this, some in the international community, including Hollywood actors, continue to espouse overly-simplistic notions of Israel failing to make peace with barbaric animals without understanding the true depth of the problem.
Are we asleep?
Isn't it past time for the world to wake up and condemn unconditionally the actions of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah; they are responsible for countless atrocities against innocent men, women, and children.
Hollywood actors and celebrities are known for speaking out on various social and political issues, often using their platform to advocate for peace and justice.
It's easy for someone sitting comfortably in Los Angeles or New York to preach about peace and love theoretically, but when facing reality on the ground, with the gruesome murders of over 1200 men women and children on Oct 7, 2023 in Israel, this is far from peaceful.
Hollywood stars and those on the left must learn to embrace truth, versus fiction.
- Imagine living in a country where you are constantly under threat of being attacked or killed simply for being who you are.
- Imagine you are being told not to protect yourself because it will be all right when you know it won’t be.
This is the daily reality for millions of Israelis who live in fear of rockets raining down on their homes or suicide bombers targeting innocent civilians.
The left, self-entitled, and Hollywood actors need to wake up and realize that their words have consequences.
They or their liberal producers cannot dictate the outcome of a real war.
Turning a blind eye to violence and aggression being directed towards Israel, they are indirectly supporting the actions of evil terrorist groups who seek nothing but destruction and chaos of Israel, as well as the entire West.
It's not enough to simply say "we support peace while supporting the devil" without truly understanding the root causes of the conflict and standing up against those perpetrating violence.
Israel has a right to defend itself against these brutal attacks, just like any other country would.
No nation should be forced to live under a constant threat of violence and terrorism.
It's time for everyone to awaken!
We must realize it’s not a movie but indeed real life, which means we need take a stand, unconditionally condemning Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups who seek to globally destroy all.
Until Hollywood legitimately understands the complexities of the Mideast, actors' and other personalities' views and statements will ring hollow.
Tinsel Town must educate itself on the history of the conflict, and the barbaric murders, as well as the ongoing violence being directed towards Israel and its citizenry.
This is not a movie but a real war.
No one can predict the outcome, all must stand with Israel in its fight for survival, while unconditionally condemning terrorist groups who seek to destroy a nation simply because of its beliefs.
Only then can true peace be achieved in the region.
Is Hollywood and the rest of the world prepared to listen, and do so very carefully?
