Actor Jon
Voight has released a message of support for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
on Sunday, encouraging Israelis to vote for him and encouraging American
support for the premier ahead of the 2015 Knesset elections later this
week.
Voight,
in his address, argued that a vote for contender Yitzhak Herzog places Israel
in imminent danger during a volatile time.
"I
love Israel," he begins. "I want to see Israel survive, and not be
overtaken by the madmen of this world."
"President Barack Obama does not love Israel,"
he continued. "His whole agenda is to
control Israel, and this way he can be free to be friends with all of Israel's
enemies."
"He
doesn't want Bibi Netanyahu to win this upcoming election," he added.
"America has not been the same since his presidency."
"I
beg everyone, all of you, to understand the truth: those - like Yitzhak Herzog
- who believe that deal-making is the solution to what Israel faces are as
wrong as Neville Chamberlain believing he made a peace deal with Hitler,"
he concluded. "We must learn from history where the true danger
lies."
Voight is
just the latest American celebrity to
endorse an Israeli political candidate, exhibiting just how closely the
elections are being watched in the US.
Last week
Jewish comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted her Israeli followers
to vote for the radical-left Meretz party.
