Jon Voight Slams ‘Ignorant’ Daughter Angelina Jolie’s Pro-Palestinian Stance

Jon Voight criticized his daughter Angelina Jolie’s stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict in a Variety cover story. He claimed that Jolie has “been exposed to propaganda” and “influenced by antisemitic people,” via her work with refugees for the U.N. “Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she’s enjoyed speaking out for refugees,” he said. “But these people are not refugees.” He also emphasized his love for his daughter but insisted she doesn’t understand what’s really going on in the world. “She’s ignorant of what the real stakes are and what the real story is because she’s in the loop of the United Nations,” Voight said. “From the beginning, it’s been awful with human rights. They call it human rights, but it’s just anti-Israel bashing.” As for his public support of Donald Trump, the veteran actor added: “I’ve been saying he’s the answer, the only answer.” (EW)
