American actor visits Israel and discovers something surprising about the Jewish people

American actor Frank Grillo took a trip to Israel. And he absolutely loved it. He tells Jimmy Fallon unbelievable things about the Jewish state.

Frank Grillo’s visit to Israel was better than he expected. Based on what he tells Jimmy Fallon, it is obviously that he was pleasantly surprising by how much he learned and discovered in Israel. Grillo even said that it “changed his DNA.”

He also said, “I never felt safer in my life. I feel more threatened in Beverley Hills than I do in Tel Aviv, Israel.” That is something the whole world should know. People think that Israel is a war zone and that it is dangerous wherever you walk. But this American actor is telling the world otherwise.

Discovering the Truth about Israel

Grillo realized that Israel is truly an amazing place. He discovered that the people are tough. They are forced to be because they are surrounded by tens of hostile nations.

Frank Grillo even changed his mindset. He understood that Israelis live differently than he does. He said, “It really wound up changing my entire being. And as being an American, to come back and then look at my friends who were trying to decide on which third or fourth car they should buy…” Grillo felt his values changed.

It is remarkable to see someone who comes to Israel and discovers the truth. Not only just “someone,” but someone who is in in the spotlight.

More people should listen to what Frank Grillo says about Israel and the Jewish people.

Charlie Daniels Said What About HAMAS v. Israel? Response Needed By Debbie Schlussel

I normally don’t put much credence into what celebrities say about political issues, other than to call them out. But Charlie Daniels’ excellent piece about Israel and what it facesfrom HAMAS and its other “neighbors” is so good, I want it to be seen by everyone I can reach. And I need you to respond by posting a comment on his site to thank him, since there is no contact info for him on the site (that I can find). I can just hear his down-home, Southern-accented voice–the same voice in “Devil Went Down to Georgia”–saying these words. It is rare that a celeb actually gets it. Here are some excerpts of what he posted from his home in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, America’s heartland:

Situation 

If you've never been to Israel it's hard to imagine just how small it is. It's just a sliver of land about the size of New Jersey bordered on one side by the Mediterranean Sea and on the other sides by enemies. It's like living with a pack of wolves surrounding your house just waiting for an open door or window to jump through and tear out your throat.

Yet this tiny nation beset from within by extremely different political persuasions and from without by rocket attacks, suicide bombers and armies of Islamic zealots is criticized and ostracized by the nations of the world and the target of millenniums-old vendettas and a dishonest, hostile world media stands proudly fertile, progressive and strong, as an example of what could be accomplished by their neighbors if they could only put their hate and swords away and concentrate on the welfare of their state and it's people. 

We hear so much about a Palestinian homeland and Israel's enemies try to make it appear that the Israelis are the only things standing in the way. The truth of the matter is that there are thousands of square miles of unused land in the Middle East for a Palestinian homeland, but the sad truth is that nobody wants them, not their Arabic brothers and sisters or the Persians who use them for suicide bombers and cannon fodder.

The problem is that the only homeland the Palestinians want is the one that God deeded to the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob forever. It was not a lease but a gift sealed by the promise of the Creator, and anyone else who lays claim to the land is an interloper and does so at the displeasure of Jehovah who told Abraham that anyone who cursed him would be cursed by God.

If you watch the networks in the U.S. or the BBC or CNN International around the world they will try to convince you that Israel is the instigator, on the offensive, firing missiles into populated areas and schools in the Gaza Strip. They'll show you pictures of a bloody child and bombed out houses in an effort to convince you that Israel is the aggressor, even if some of the photos being passed off as Palestinian casualties are from recent Syrian internal violence.

They basically ignore the bloody children and bomb damaged buildings on the Israeli side of the border and omit the fact that rockets had been raining down on Israel for months before they began a major retaliation.

To put the situation into perspective, imagine that somebody in the adjacent county was lobbing rockets into your backyard and your children's schoolyard. Just how many of these attacks would you tolerate before you started shooting back to protect your family?

In a nutshell that's what's happening in Israel, and what has been happening and nobody in the world has the right to prevent them from protecting themselves.

The rockets from the Gaza Strip fall indiscriminately with no warning and no regard for innocent life. The Israelis drop leaflets warning the civilians in Gaza to vacate areas where they are going to bomb to take our weapon caches and passionately try to protect innocents and prevent collateral damage while the other side neither tries nor cares.

There's a lot about the state of Israel people don't realize. For instance, there is an immense Arab population living and working with the Jews and the most holy place in Israel, the Temple Mount, has a mosque and a shrine to Mohammed on top.

Jerusalem is truly an international city and practically every major religion known to man has a presence there.

The Jews supply water, electricity, food and medicine in the Gaza Strip and just want to live in peace with their neighbors.

I can't figure the anti-Semitic tilt in most of the world's media, but it's there and evidently editorial policies, so when you digest news about Israel, do so with several large grains of salt and remember, there will be wars and rumors of wars. Jerusalem will be surrounded by armies and the military might of the world will gather in the Jezreel Valley below Har Megiddo, and though the world may stand against it, there will be Israel, that's a fact.

It's in the book.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, our country and for the peace of Jerusalem.
God Bless America

Jon Lovitz Stands Up For Israel

We already knew comedian Jon Lovitz was a Hollywood mensch. He’s tweeted about antisemitism before, but now he’s come out and done the unthinkable: publicly supported Israel against the terrorists of Hamas.

It's also sad to hear Americans defend Hamas, a terrorist organization. Israel has a right to defend its citizens.

“@Melkonen: @realjonlovitz israel started this conflict.” You're right. Israel started firing rockets at themselves, from Gaza. My mistake.

@AspiringMedia They bought the land and kept what they won after they were attacked. Hamas is a terrorist organization.

I say unthinkable because it is very rare that Hollywood celebrities will publicly back Israel in such a way. For instance, a few days ago, “celebrity” Kim Kardashian declared she was “praying for Israel”, only to delete her tweet soon after “because [she] realized that some people were offended and hurt by what [she] said.” I’ve also tweeted to Jewish celebrities including William Shatner and Henry Winkler, only to be met with radio silence.

Jon Lovitz, you are a stand up guy.
