Hollywood A-lister Richard Gere, who portrayed King David in the eponymously titled 1985 film and is perhaps best remembered for his lead roles in An Officer and a Gentleman, Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride, is set to land in Israel later on Tuesday. But while the actor’s past visits to the Jewish state received warm welcomes, Gere, whose expertise and qualifications justifying his telling Israel what to do consist of his being a movie actor, may be greeted by a far chillier reception, following political comments made on the eve of his trip.

Gere’s visit, planned ostensibly for the premiere of his latest film, an Israeli-American production entitled Norman: The Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer, is already raising eyebrows in Israel over the actor’s scheduled meetings with far-left activists and a provocative interview with an Israeli newspaper, set to be published in full this Friday.

“The occupation must end. The occupation is ruining everyone on both sides. A bi-national state won’t solve anything; it will only turn Israel into an apartheid state. There need to be two states for two peoples, and Jerusalem needs to be the capital of both nations.”

Gere also took aim specifically at Jews living in Judea and Samaria, accusing them of dominating the Israeli government — despite the recent demolitions of the town of Amona and a neighborhood in Ofra. …

It is like hollywierd stars are feeding one another’s insanity. They have lost touch with reality and think they are gods or something.

Hopefully Israel is a bit less neo pagan than the rest of the West and does not indulge quite as much in celebrity and earth worship. Sadly the celluloid creatures, who make their living pretending to be other people, have influence over many.

Try reading the Bible, Richard. There will be no division of Jerusalem.

Precisely! Ask him if dividing Lhasa and Tibet would end the occupation by those nasty Tibetans?

Gere’s a dufus HAS-BEEN. He has about the same amount of knowledge of and wisdom about the Middle East as Juan McCain & Lindsay Grahamnesty have.

A-lister? I thought this old queen died of the AIDS a long time ago. Wasn’t his last movie in the 197o’s like Babs?

a good actor
a complete IDIOT off stage

not to worry, almost nobody gives a da*m what Hollywood actors say

Hollywood actors and singers are almost all complete nincompoops when it comes to anything offstage

I do not know why this is, but it definitely is the case.
Complete Total Raving Idiots and Ignoramuses (Ignoramusii??)
off stage.

a complete fool.

born of Puritan descent, has given up his family’s faith heritage and lists himself now as a “tibetan buddhist”

Yeah, like Cloony. Good actors in front of the camera, assholes in reality.
