Hollywood actor Jon Voight has publicly expressed his disagreement with his daughter, renowned actress Angelina Jolie, over her recent comments regarding the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The divide in their opinions has come to light following Angelina’s vocal condemnation of military actions in the region and her call for an “immediate ceasefire.”
Angelina Jolie, who also held the position of special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, was critical of the military’s actions, particularly their violation of international law and the deliberate targeting of children, women, and families. Her remarks expressed deep concern for the Arab people affected by the violence.
In response, Jon Voight shared a video online, expressing his disappointment in his daughter’s stance on the conflict. He went on to criticize her for lacking an understanding of “God’s honor” and “God’s truths.” He defended the nation involved in the conflict, highlighting their care for their citizens and their strong bonds of love and unity. He argued that Angelina’s position inadvertently supported those who seek the destruction of the Jewish homeland.
Jon Voight concluded the video by calling on his daughter to reconsider her perspective on the complex geo-political tension, expressing his belief that the Jewish people will overcome the tragedy they are currently facing. This public disagreement within the Voight family serves as a reminder of the multifaceted and deeply emotional nature of the Middle East conflict.
