Where Have All the Celebs Gone?
‘Much of Hollywood has never wrapped its arms around Israel with much enthusiasm, but on this unabashedly celebratory occasion, it would have seemed that at least some of the Jewish big leaguers… might have come out for this event to support the Jewish homeland,” wrote Dikla Kadosh in The Jewish Journal of Los Angeles, lamenting the fact that there was a dearth of A-list celebs taking part in the “Israel at 60” concert in Hollywood earlier this month.
But are celebrities really ducking out of all the festivities? Those walking through New York’s Times Square might answer no.
A number of actors are paying tribute to Israel in video clips that will be shown at the Crossroads of the World this month. Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller, Billy Crystal, Brooke Shields, Robin Williams and Dakota Fanning are among the stars in the 30-second segments projected on two massive screens. The celebrities wear birthday hats, hold cakes and dance around or pose with signs that read “60.”

One of the biggest myths about Hollywood is that its run by Jews. This couldn't further from the truth. Prominent Jewish families did essentially begin the film industry but their "Jewishness" was marked by self-hatred and Aryan Gentile worshipness.
The situation in Hollywood hasn't changed. Most "Jews"(mostly males) in Hollywood are intermarried and the overwhelming majority have non-Jewish children. They don't care about Israel or Judaism.
Females and other minorities are routinely portrayed in the worst stereotypes or altogether ignored. The group that in many has it the worst are Jewish women. They are either portrayed as over the top "Jewish mothers" or as being frumpy, gross and asexual.
Not surprisingly there's always been movies about ugly, nerdy nuerotic Jewish males hooking up with attractive blonde blue-eyed shiksas. There are many beautiful Jewish women who are way more attractive than these leading ladies but the self-hating Jewish Hollywood types hate Jewish women with a vengeance and consider being Jewish an unattractive trait in a woman.
Actress comedians like Susie Essman and Sarah Silverman have talked about the hatred Jewish men in Hollywood have toward Jewish women. It's basically like having nazis running Hollywood. I don't see any difference between the two groups.
