BY ISRAEL MATZAV—
Actor Jon Voight, who is here for the Glenn Beck rallies, had a blunt and correct assessment of the ‘Palestinians,’ which he shared at a Jerusalem Holocaust event on Monday night.
“How have we come to a time when blowing up babies and cutting their throats are acceptable means to a political goal?” Voight asked. “I feel complete contempt for anyone not intelligent enough to see that the media propaganda portraying the Palestinians as victims endangers the state of Israel. We are facing a new Holocaust, and people of all faiths must demand that truth be heard. The Palestinian radicals have only one prayer on their lips: To remove every Jew from Israel.”
Voight, the father of actress Angelina Jolie, received a standing ovation for saying that “We will not bend to terrorism in any way, shape, or form for the sake of peace.”
The event, which was carried on Beck’s new television network, featured a film about Holocaust survivor Rudy Wolf’s visit to his childhood home in Germany. Speakers at the event noted the significance of holding a Holocaust-themed evening at the former Jerusalem train station after world armies did not bomb the tracks to Auschwitz in World War II.
“If you stare evil in the eye, it’s a coward,” Beck told the crowd of American Christians who came to Israel for the series of events he organized. “If you confront your biggest fear, it goes away. It’s not enough to remember the Holocaust, because it has happened time and time again. This will be the generation that stops it in its tracks and says ‘never again, we mean it.”
Indeed. We can only hope and pray that this generation is the one that stops all future Holocausts in their tracks.
