Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah
Herald Sun ^ | 17 August 2006

Posted on 08/16/2006 5:19:45 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism.

The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper.

It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.

"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," the ad reads.

"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.

"We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."

A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad.

The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.

Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.

Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

Hod did you get the listing of names. Directly from the LA Times? Would love to see the whole list.

Let's see them take up arms.

What military base are you posting from?

You must be in the military, right, or otherwise you'd be a hypocrite. Especially when you consider that some of these people are too old to enlist. Even if you go in as a nurse or doctro, the age limit is 47, IIRC. Maybe you want to go kick in doors with Michael Douglasand Sylvester Stallone, but I wouldn't want to, they're older than dirt.

And since you're not a hypocrite, surely you've condemned every civilian who hasn't enlisted in the same manner, right?

The name 'Arnold Schwarzenegger' is conspicuously absent. Oh wait..err.. never mind.

No it's not. Look at where their money comes from. They have to keep their Jewish financiers happy. That's all this is.

James Woods? Patricia Heaton? Bruce Willis? Just being good Americans to please Da Jooooz?

Puh-leeze. You're so full of crap it's coming out your ears.

Looks like the Hollywood stars can't win. If they are against the war, they are commie leftist wackos and if they support the war and our troops, the Joos made them do it.

They made their bed. Let them sleep in it. It's true not only for these idiots but for the Jewish money men who've supported them and their leftist ideology. Leftist Hollywood has been against the WOT all along. They never understood it was an underlying factor in the safety of Israel (well maybe some did, but likely felt as long as the US was involved another Israeli war was remote), but they were wrong.

Now it's hit them in the face. So they become pro Israel but, I'm sure if one asked, likely still against the WOT.

Don't put much stock in these people. It means nothing.

Michale Douglas is no surprise. When have you ever seen him or his lovely wife C Zeta Jones talking trash about Iraq or George Bush

After seeing his performance in American President, I have to say that he is either A) such a bleeding heart liberal that he would pay cold hard cash for the 'privledge' of licking the sweat off of Clintoon's testicles, or B) he is absolutely one of the best actors to ever grace the silver screen.

That movie was nauseating, and I believe it was the main inspiration for the West Wing, which was basically, the movie turned into a tv series.

They have become painfully cognizant of the public's growing contempt for Hollywood and almost any movie it produces.

Time to make up to the rednecks.

Yawn. I don't care what some actress thinks. Do you?

Why take a whiz on somebody when they do a good thing? Are you so important that it's beneath you?

This is just a ploy. They got their marching orders from the DNC. This is one of the first salvos fired in the Democrats new agenda to take security away from the Republicans. They dont give a damn if Hamas or the hezzies kill jews they are shilling for the DNC.

Is Jamie Masada on the list? He owns the Laugh Factory. Maybe they only wanted actors, directors, and producers on that list.

Palmetto Sr High isn't too far from here, several miles north is all. It serves the kids from our neighborhood which is about the southern limit for its census.

In any case, Go Miami!

Yep. No good deed goes unpunished on FR, where everybody knows everything they need to know to judge every act with perfect wisdom.

Douglas has always been a lefty in my book though, so it was a genuine surprise

He is a CLASSICAL liberal in the mold of his father and MOST of the Hollywood of old.

Jewish money men

Of course. We run the world. BTW, I know Passover is far off, but some of us are already preparing and we need the blood of gentile children for our matzah. Care to contribute?

Thread for your ping list, SJackson.

A good many of those Leftists ARE of Jewish extraction - explain that...and then explain what conclusion we are supposed to surmise from your statements.

don't worry..I can sit here and listen...Im not going anywhere

There is something wrong with this. I really think this is somehow going to work into a press release from The DNC or Howard Dean. Don't know how yet, but give me some time.

Now there's the first logical thought I've read on this thread. Everyone's either too wishful or too accepting. Anytime these wusses come out with something there's an agenda behind it. Again, look at the source...the money!
