Welcome Midnight Cowboy!by Steven Plaut
With the leftist scum calling for total boycotts of Israel, with pressures on Nadine Gordimer and other cultural figures or intellectuals who visit Israel, Voight's visit is a great moral act and his decision to spend some time in Sderot even greater. Sderot has become Israel's Guernica thanks to the Olmert (and Sharon) government decision to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip of its Jews and convert it into a large rocket base. From YNET: “I’m coming to salute, encourage and strengthen the people of Israel on this joyous 60th birthday,” said Voight. “This week is about highlighting Israel as a moral beacon. At a time when its enemies threaten nuclear destruction, Israel heals." Incidentally, Voight's role in The Odessa File led to the capture and suicide of the film's real-life Nazi villain.
Let's have Joe Buck teach Israel's cowardly politicians how to handle terrorist butt Texas style! Meanwhile, I think Voight's visit can be of value for other reasons as well. Voight as Joe Buck might light a Texas fire under the toochasim of certain politicians and generals I could name. Yuli Tamir could star as one of those aging women who hire Joe Buck in the Tel Aviv staging of "Midnight Cowboy." And Olmert is really type cast to play Ratso Rizzo. I really understand George Costanza in that episode of Seinfeld wanting to buy Voight's old used car! As to those unnatural acts in Voight's film "Deliverance," if I get to choose on whom they get performed in the Israeli film version I am willing to play the banjo! |
