    The “Pretty Woman” star came to Jerusalem for the local premiere of a new film by Israeli writer-director Joseph Cedar in which he stars.

    A story in Sunday’s Haaretz newspaper quoted the actor as saying “settlements are such an absurd provocation … and they are certainly not part of the program of someone who wants a genuine peace process.”

    The international community mostly considers settlements illegal and an obstacle to peace. Israel says settlements along with other core issues like security should be resolved in peace talks.

    This wannabe politician is friend with just another Nazi friend the goyim worship – the Dalai Lama who saw no wrong in meeting with ex-SS members and calling them friends of his long after WW II had ended. What can you expect of these people?

    Cant he complain to his Arab friends that they refuse to live in peace with their neighbors. They want to have a state GIVEN to them without making peace first.

    the arabs are the best salesmen in the world ,they can sell anything to the unsuspecting, gulliable, tourist at any price they wish. So they are selling a need for their own country to eliminate the Jewish state to stupid movie actors.

    Being anti Liked, anti settlement or anti Bibi does not make one anti Israel or anti Semetic anymore than being anti Trump or anti Obama makes one anti America.

    sad that our country gives so much credence to artificially concocted “stars” who are called upon to opine on matters much above their pay-grade. This one, for instance, follows a “feel-good” religion which allows him to do anything he wants. Why he should be an authority on anything is a wonder.

    Why are we even listening to the clowns?
    Their job is to entertain the public, not to give their “intelligent” opinions.
