Angelina Jolie’s father denounces her for speaking against Israel. In a recent social media exchange, renowned Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie expressed her concerns about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, referring to the situation as an “act of terror.”
Ms. Jolie, who has a history of working with the United Nations to aid refugees, emphasized her focus on the plight of those displaced by violence, irrespective of the context.
In her posts, she decried the loss of innocent lives in Gaza due to Israeli airstrikes, describing the region as a “mass grave” and calling attention to the suffering of Palestinian civilians, particularly children, women, and families.

She urged world leaders to intervene and demand a humanitarian ceasefire while highlighting the dire conditions in Gaza, which she likened to an “open-air prison” that has persisted for nearly two decades.
Ms. Jolie’s comments garnered a strong reaction from her father, Jon Voight, who is also a renowned actor and an Academy Award winner.
Voight shared a video message on X (formerly Twitter), expressing his disappointment with his daughter’s perspective. He argued that the conflict was a matter of defending the “Holy Land” and “God’s children of the holy land.”
Voight firmly supported the Israeli army’s actions, emphasizing the need to protect Israel and its people, characterizing the situation as a war rather than a civil or cultural issue.
In his three-minute video, Voight called on people to recognize that Hamas was causing harm to their own people, asserting that the real problem did not lie with Israel.
He used strong language to challenge those who criticized Israel, asking them to reflect on their stance and identity.
The exchange between father and daughter highlights the deeply polarizing nature of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the differing perspectives it elicits, even within the same family.
