What if next year maybe theyll do fund raiser for ISIS? Will it be so nice and appreciated in the media too? Hollywood movie stars like to be associated with worthy causes. So with this in mind, what better cause than a fundraiser for the “brave warriors” of the IDF? Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have enjoyed long and successful careers in Hollywood playing characters in movies that kill people ruthlessly and indiscriminately. The Israel Defense Force likewise kills people ruthlessly and indiscriminately; only unlike Arnold and Sly Stallone they do it for real. However in a part of the world where the line separating fact and fiction is often blurred such differences are a trifling matter when compared to the ties that bind action stars and an institution whose crimes would shame all the devils in hell. What better way to cement those ties than a glitzy Beverly Hills fundraiser for the IDF. Also in attendance at the star-studded gala event, organized by the Los Angeles branch of Friends of the IDF, were Barbara Streisand, Pamela Anderson, Ricky Martin and various Hollywood movers and shakers. It succeeded in raising $33 million, a record amount for this now annual event, $10 million of which was reportedly donated by the founder of Oracle Larry Ellison. You can buy a lot of bullets with that kind of money, which is just as well because the IDF used up a ton of them during its recent military assault on the besieged Gaza Strip. Operation Protective Edge lasted 50 days and according to UN figures left 2,189 Palestinians dead, including 1,486 civilians, out of which 513 were children. Seventy two Israelis also died, made up of 66 soldiers and 6 civilians. The destruction wrought in Gaza during the assault, including the shelling of UN schools and compounds where civilians were sheltering, mosques, and residential areas, has prompted a UN investigation into “possible” war crimes by the IDF.
