Jon Voight Criticizes Angelina Jolie’s Views on Israel-Hamas Conflict in Fiery Variety Interview

Angelina Jolie’s family drama has once again hit the headlines, with her father, Jon Voight, reigniting the feud between them.

The 85-year-old actor has criticized his daughter’s stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict, alleging that her views have been influenced by anti-Semitic sentiments.

In a heated interview with *Variety*, Voight suggested that Jolie has been swayed by ‘propaganda’ and ‘anti-Semitic people.’

Despite some moments of reconciliation, the relationship between Jolie and Voight has often been tumultuous.

The latest remarks from Voight come as a stark contrast to his previous praise for Jolie and her daughter Vivienne.

Just a few weeks ago, Voight had expressed pride in Jolie and Vivienne for their success at the 2024 Tony Awards, where their musical, *The Outsiders*, won four awards, including Best Musical.

In recent months, tensions have also been visible in other areas of Jolie’s life.

For instance, Brad Pitt, Jolie’s ex-husband, had an uncomfortable encounter with Jolie’s family at a gallery exhibition in Beverly Hills.

Pitt, who was attending with his new girlfriend, found himself in the same space as Voight and Jolie’s brother, James Haven.

Eyewitnesses reported that the meeting was noticeably awkward, highlighting the strained relations within the family.

Estranged Relationship

Voight and Jolie’s relationship has been fraught with difficulties for years.

Although they had some contact during the filming of *Lara Croft: Tomb Raider* in 2001, their relationship soured again in the early 2000s.

Jolie herself admitted in a 2002 *Vogue* interview that they didn’t speak often.

Past Criticisms

Voight’s recent comments about Jolie’s views on the Israel-Palestine conflict are not unprecedented.

Following a post by Jolie criticizing Israel’s actions, Voight condemned her stance as misguided and accused her of spreading ‘lies.’

He has frequently criticized Jolie for her position, calling on her to reconsider her views on Israel and its defense against Hamas.

Ongoing Disputes

In his latest statements, Voight expressed disappointment that Jolie did not understand what he considers ‘God’s truths’ regarding the conflict.

He emphasized his belief in the necessity of defending Israel and criticized what he perceives as misguided support for Palestinians.

Voight also praised the resilience of Jewish people throughout history and urged Jolie to reassess her position on the ongoing conflict.

The family feud continues to make headlines, with each new comment from Voight adding fuel to the fire of their strained relationship.
