Angelina Jolie’s dad Jon Voight slams her ‘lies’ about Israel-Hamas war

Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight has accused her of spreading misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war.

The 48-year-old actress, who was once a special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees, recently shared a slew of social media posts in which she condemned Israel for bombing Gaza.The mum-of-six went on to accuse Israel of “deliberately bombing children, women, families, deprived of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid” in violation of the international law.

This did not sit well with Oscar winner Voight, 84, who took to his own Instagram page to decry the comments made by his daughter.

Uploading a video which sees him sat in front of an American flag, Voight said: “I am very disappointed that my daughter, like so many, has no understanding of God’s honour, God’s truths.”

“This is about destroying the history of God’s land, the Holy Land, the land of the Jews. This is justice for God’s children of the holy land.

“The Israeli army must protect thy soil, thy people. This is war. It’s not going to be what the left thinks, it can’t be civil now.

“Israel was attacked by inhuman terror on innocent babies, mothers, fathers, grandparents. And you fools call Israel the problem, you should look at yourselves and ask: ‘Who am I? What am I?’

“And ask God if am I learning the truth, or am I being lied to and following everyone else? The ones who understand truth see the lie.”

“These animals want to wipe out Jews, Christians. They see that the Palestinians have not been neglected of finance. They’ve been given huge infusions of money, that they didn't share with the people.

“They made weapons instead, for their rage. The people of Israel care for people. They love, they cherish – something these animals don't understand. Justice will prevail.”
