Gere, say it ain't so
First the gerbil thing, now this. I never liked this guy as an actor. Now, I hate him as a person. Listen to what the costars, , in Gere's Palestinian ad to get out the vote this past week have said about Jews.

Joining Gere in the announcement are Sheik Taissir Tamimi, the head of the Islamic court in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Atallah Hanna, the spokesman of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem.
...
Even though he evidently is not familiar with Hollywood superstars, Hanna has his own heroes, according to the Jerusalem Post, which quoted him as praising suicide bombers: 'These martyrdom freedom fighters are the heroes of the people and we are proud of them. We categorically reject suspicious attempts to cast suspicion on their deeds. They are not suicidal, as some are claiming. Nor are they terrorists, as others are claiming. They are resisting the occupation.' According to the report, he also called for the liberation of Palestine 'from the [Mediterranean] sea to the [Jordan] river.'
Gere's other co-star, Sheikh Tamimi, was quoted in 1994 as saying: "the Jews are destined to be persecuted, humiliated and tortured forever,and it is a Muslim duty to see to it that they reap their due. No petty arguments must be allowed to divide us.Where Hitler failed, we must succeed."

Oh, but you can't listen to what people say in the middle east, you have to watch what they do. I've heard that somewhere before. All I see people do is murder each other daily, kill women in the name of honer, and fire rockets at schools full of children who happen to believe in a religion they don't like. God, please nuke the place and start over?
