We mere
mortals are too infatuated with celebs as the new paragons of knowledge of
issues complex
Waiting anxiously
for any pronouncement on an issue a star would choose to inject
After all
how could someone of such beauty or manly action and poise
Not be the
person who knows the solutions to problems to deploy?
In the
silver screen the villains be they our government or external forces
The leading
lady or man always has the knowledge to alter their courses
Not with
delay, indecision or stuttering, or non confident speech
But the
right words, right acts so into our hearts and minds they reach
Sadly,
knowledge and wisdom is not the ability to remember one’s lines
Or to play
well a character in a script according to the director’s design
Celebs’ auras
of knowledge and intellect are purely creations of a script
Understanding
of an complex issue is likely something they cannot grip
So said Jon
Voight’s condemnation of Bardem, Cruz and other Hispanic stars
Who condemned
Israel as against Hamas of going too far
Is so on
point it ought to be by Psaki and Kerry read
As Hamas in
the wars of opinion wants more Palestinians dead
Valuing the
opinion of a celeb because he or she has played an expert on the screen
Makes about
as much sense as going to Robert Young aka Marcus Welby MD and having him
remove a tumor on your spleen
Even more telling
was Voight’s pointed question of how many celebs could pursue their craft in Sharia’s
living hell
My guess is
none; so why is the outrage needed against Hamas’ actions such a hard sell?
